Pup Slope

I bought my doggy from here love the staff they do great grooming that’s lasts. She loves the staff and gets a full spa treatment!

I absolutely love this place! Got her groomed today and I love it! Didn’t take long, and she was so comfortable with the workers in there. Not from New York, so don’t know if the place is expensive or not, but I love them. They have dogs for sale as well at AMAZING prices! I love that they remember by face and name of my dog! While I’m in Ny, this is my go-​to puppy place!

Walked in once and will not go back again.
As soon as you walk in this place reeks of excessive bleach and feces. All of the puppies look miserable and ungroomed. This place needs to be shut down and all of the dogs need to go to more loving shelters.

I take my dog here for boarding and grooming. The grooming is great and I have never had a problem with boarding. My otherwise fussy dog goes willingly so it looks like he has a good time and they take excellent care of him. I would recommend this place as an alternative to the more expensive and difficult to book places around Park Slope.

I took my cat to be groomed here and when we. let him out of his carrier at home, I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! he looked so gorgeous and smelled sooooo good! I couldn’t believe it. I told them to give him the lowest cut possible (he a medium haired cat) and they gave him a lions cut. He looks so wonderful and I think he [the cat] loves it too. He came home so calm. Thank you guys! You all did a great job.

The dogs here look like they have aids. Poor puppies. I’d never buy a dog from here. Boo puppy mills.

I would give ZERO stars if I could. I hate to give small businesses such bad reviews as I know how this may effect their reputation but in this case, it is deserved and necessary to write this review.
I want to start with the fact that the employees (in the front of the store) are friendly enough but that cannot make up for the sad, depressing environment this place is.
I split time between CA and NY and literally stay a 60 second walk from this place so it is the closest and most convenient place to shop for my pup. After about 10 visits to purchase food, treats, etc, I’ve decided to take the extra time and go elsewhere so that a piece of my soul doesn’t die every time I walk back into this place.
It appears that instead of properly cleaning the place, they just use excessive amounts of bleach to clean up after the pets they sell and the dogs they «sit» for. The place overwhelms you with the smell of bleach as soon as you walk through the door, so much that I can only spend a few minutes at a time in there.
The extremely cute but very, very sad and neglected puppies they have for sell in the back just breaks my heart. Clearly, these are puppy mill dogs and according to the other reviews, they are sickly and some have even died after they are taken home. I’m surprised puppy mill dogs are still allowed to be sold at pet stores as I know in many other states, this is illegal but I digress.
I honestly don’t think these puppies are taken out of the crates unless someone asks to see them. The bottom of the crates are wired so their little feet keep going through and they can never get comfortable. Obviously, they do this so when the dog goes to the bathroom, it can just go through the wire floor and they don’t have to clean it up for a long time.
The icing on the cake, the dogs that they are supposed to «babysit» for doggie daycare are mistreated in one way or another. During my last time there, I was buying dog food and I heard a dog let out this terrible Unilocal and then heard some other dogs barking after. I immediately went to the back of the store to see what was going on and I saw 4 dogs looking terrified and agitated. There was urine all over the floor and there was a man standing in there with them yelling at them to «shut up» over and over again. I don’t want to jump to the conclusion that any of the dogs were struck or hit, as I didn’t see anything and just heard a terrible Unilocal/​barking, but it looked like the dogs were clearly scared of the man. Obviously, he did not know a customer was standing there watching him. I immediately left the store (feeling terrible about not saying anything) and I have never been back.
In my opinion, this store does not care about animals. They mistreat the puppy mill puppies they sell (for $ 500 upwards to over $ 1000+ a puppy) and mistreat the dogs they are supposed to care for. If you have a dog, I do not recommend you leaving them in their care from what I have seen and heard — I would never subject my pup to such mistreatment as well as disinterested, negligent care.
I, myself, will not support a business that does not care for the very animals they are making money on.

NBC news at 11pm showed pup slope lying about where they get their dogs. They get them from one of the worst puppy mills! In ny when they sell an animal they have to show you the shipping bill. Ask for it and google the «breeder» you will see you are supporting a puppy mill. No reputable breeder is going to sell to a pet store. ADOPT ADOPT ADOPT SAVE A LIFE!!!

This place just came up on the news channel 4 and apparently the puppies they sell are from puppy mills. They lied when the news reporter asked, don’t buy a dog from them you may get a sick one… So sad… Adopt!

Purchased a King Charles Cavalier in June 2013 and brought the puppy to the vet within 48 hours to be examined. Vet diagnosed the puppy with pneumonia which required two days hospitalization and medication. Bill came out to around $ 1200. Contacted Pup Slope and they wanted me to bring the puppy back to the store to be examined by their own vets. With how sick the dog was, I refused. I requested reimbursement for the hospital bills per New York pet laws and Pup Slope went quiet. I filed a small court complaint and was awarded judgment for the hospital fees on November 21, 2013. I emailed, faxed, and sent via priority mail the judgment letter and request for payment and have not heard anything as of April 24. I am filing a complaint with NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene which provides pet store permits to suspend Pup Slope’s license until they have fulfilled judgment claim.

Can I give them Zero Stars?
I stopped in today to look for a jacket for my dog. All I found was a tiny store that wreaked of bleach or poison and the saddest looking group of puppies. 1 out of about 10 was playing, he must’ve been new, because the rest were passed out or had a major case of «dead eyes». I felt awful leaving them there, but what could I do?
Not to mention the clothes I came in to check out were overpriced and none of the 3 employees in this 20 foot long, rectangle of a store spoke a word to me as I entered or left (I was the only customer).
Definitely felt like a shady, puppy mill…

My boyfriend recently bought me a male cockapoo here after seeing me discouraged from several months of trying to adopt a dog from the animal rescue place in brooklyn. I have never bought a puppy from a pet store for various reasons so I tried to talk him out of it but Parker our puppy was so bubbly and playful when we asked to meet him that I am glad to call him my own. The sales people are nice and the owner was kind. Everyone loves our healthy dog and he is so smart, already obeying commands and uses the wee wee pad successfully at 4 months. His first time on his own was 4 days after we bought him. He makes us happy so we would like to adopt/​buy another small breed girl dog to grow up with him. Thank you guys

I bought a Persian cat from them and in 2wks my precious kitty died. I spent $ 600 for him to find out he a abnormal lymph nodes. He stopped eating and just wasn’t live at all. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all!

Boarded my dog for the first time this past week for 5 days. They took great care of him. Love the personal touch! Thanks Pup Slope!

We took our puppy for two night day care and he hated it! When we came for him we was scare, very angry and smelly. The guy that was «taking care» of the dogs didn’t even know his name and our puppy seemed very afraid of him. And trust me, our dog LOOOVEESSS people.
This place might me cheaper, but I feel like they dont really care for the dogs.
It was a sad experience for us and for our puppy.

I went here to find a carrier for my dog so I could take him on the train. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my dog and needed it immediately. I asked the salesman if I could return it if it happened to be too small and he assured me that I could.
Needless to say, the carrier was too small and when I went back to the store, they explained that I would only get store credit. I asked where it said that, and they pointed me to the bottom of the receipt. I explained that this was little recourse given that I had been assured I could return the item and one doesn’t get a receipt until AFTER a purchase is made. The gentleman behind the counter looked disinterested. Thank god I put it on my Amex; can we say chargeback?

The store seems to carry lot’s of different products and is convenient, but the service sucks and yes the guy there seems very uninterested in any questions that I asked him.
I decided to have my dog groomed there and surprisingly the groomer was there. No he didn’t speak or understand English, but still I gave him a chance. Well I told him I wanted my dog to have a summer cut which is short, but when I picked up my dog I was horrified by the bald spot that he had on his head. When I mentioned it to the guy behind the register once again he seemed uninterested and told me it would grow back.
BTW it took them 4 hours to groom my little Maltese.
The last straw was this morning I was in a bind and needed them to keep my dog for the day since they do day care and once again I was disappointed that it was 9:15 no one was there. grrrrrr
I wish there was a 0 rating.
They don’t have to worry about me giving them business ever again.

I hate the service here. Seriously speaking, if I am willing to spend almost $ 2,000 on a dog, someone better give me good service.
Everytime I come here, I always end up waiting 5 to 10 minutes for the guy to finish whatever he is doing to help me.
I though that the customer was always first…
But anyway, I heard that they get their puppies from puppy mills! If this is true, I will NEVER be returning to this place again.
But if you want social interaction from your sales person, do not shop here because these people clearly do not give a shit. The man I always run into seems so uninterested in anything you say or ask.

This store gets its puppies from puppy mills (a.k.a. «breeding facilities.») I am not making this up; if you’re in the market for a cat, dog, or bunny, please rescue your pet from a shelter, because only if the demand for pet-​store pets dries up will they stop selling them.
As such, I never even buy food or supplies from stores that sell live animals; there are humane alternatives, including pet-​food stores that showcase shelter pets in the hopes of finding them homes.

I’ve never purchased a pet from this store, so I cannot attest to the health of the puppies that this store sells.
However, I must say that this store sells the cat food that my adopted cat Chloe enjoys (she just can’t get enough of Turkey Feast with Gravy… she’s such a glutton) at prices far cheaper than most stores in Manhattan (with the exception of Pet Co, which often has super sales). Pets are expensive, so saving even 50 cents on a can of cat food goes a long way.
Furthermore, Pup Slope offers great pet snacks, many of which I’ve never seen at other pet stores.
Additionally, I love any store where, at any given moment, a giant cat might leap into your arms, nuzzling you and getting you all furry. It’s quite nice. :)
So — take it from Ryan K: Pup Slope is fantastic for quality pet food and snacks, and frequently offers low prices. I cannot attest to the quality of pets here, but if I may make a suggestion:
Adoption is always a better option…
