Steve’s Wonderful World of Pets Inc

I’m not sure what to think of this place… I got a puppy there about 14 years ago (Australian shepherd).According to her papers she came from Canada and we were told upon purchase that they new very little about the breeder. She passed away at age 8 due to brain cancer. She was a very bizarre animal and we were frequently asked if she was abused by previous owners. We got her at 11 weeks and she was raised well and very spoiled. I’ve always questioned what she went through before she got to us because she was so fearful of other people, noises est… Perhaps her brain always had a tumor… or she came from a terrible puppy mill. I’ve heard good things about Steve’s puppies since then so maybe they changed the way they operate and are more familiar with their breeders.

We bought our wonderful, loving & healthy mini schnauzer from Steve’s Pets. I could not love this dog anymore if I tried. His temperament is sweet and so loving. He had a little cough when we brought him home and we took him to his first vet visit which is paid for by Steve’s. He had been vaccinated already by Steve’s when we purchased him for kennel cough. The vet wanted to be safe and she put him on an antibiotic and some drops. When I went to check out the receptionist told me that Steve’s will be taking care of the cost of the medication needed related to his cough. I was amazed. Steve’s sell’s happy healthy pups and if the little one gets sick Steve’s stands behind their puppies 100% I would recommend anyone looking for a new pet go to Steve’s!

Shameful. If they cared at all about animals, they wouldn’t sell dogs and puppies from mills. They wouldn’t unload trucks of sad, scared puppies/​dogs, in creates stacked on top of each other like they are pallets of toilet paper. Come on now. Breeders don’t have trouble finding homes for their puppies. Any reputable breeder wouldn’t dream of selling their puppies in a store to Lord knows who, like they’re another item on a shelf. This business sells puppy mill dogs and by supporting them, you are directly supporting extreme inhumanity and cruelty to dogs and puppies. I might also mention that the dogs are crammed in small cages, and the numerous complaints that I’ve been hearing about them regarding the welfare of the animals in this store. For that reason, I will never support this business again, unless they turn this around & make it right!

Went into Steve’s «Wonderful» world of pets a few weeks ago. Horrible experience from start to finish. Rude staff, animals kept in cages way to small. And then today, I go to the Starbucks next door. Coming out of the drive thru, it puts you behind the building and there is clearly a semi truck that was direct from a puppy mill with cages stacked 3 high dropping off their latest shipment of dogs. The owner is DISGUSTING if he even tries to claim that he isn’t getting these dogs from puppy mills.

Love this place! Best Pet store around! Puppies, birds, fish, small animals and reptiles! Nice variety of food, toys and treats as well! Right in the Williamsville Place plaza on Sheridan drive which makes it a very convenient location!

If this were on my list of Pet Peeves (and it is), then it’d be Peeve’s Pets.
I used to come in here all the time, before I knew what was going on with the Puppy Mills. I would torture myself in this and other pet stores because I love animals way too much. I could hang out for an hour in here and just look at the pets, talk to them, pet them. Unfortunately, then I read all the articles… and, well. I’ll get to that in a minute.
I will say that the employees were always friendly to me and didn’t mind me hanging out (usually without buying).
I won’t go into the interior of this store or how adorable the animals are — of course they are, they’re animals. It goes without saying.
All I will say is that they get their puppies from Puppy Mills. They shouldn’t even be selling Puppies but that’s our society, I suppose. Here is one of many stories about it.
So for this reason, I recommend that animal lovers not shop here, until they completely clean up their act, and sell rescues from shelters instead, like they should. If the Puppy Mills stop getting business, they will stop Milling Puppies.
I wouldn’t buy a Mill Puppy even for 1 Mill Dollars.

I got my dog here about seven years ago. In retrospect, I’m pretty sure my mom got her for me out of fear for what would happen to a six month old puppy if she stayed there for much longer. As an adult, I found out that my beloved little companion came from one of the biggest dog brokers in the midwest. We were given fake papers. She was kept in a little crate all by herself for the three months she was in the store.
To the credit of this place, my dog is great. That still doesn’t mean I’ll buy anything for her here.

The staff is extremely knowledgeable on all their products. Helped us find the best toys for how our dog plays and the best food. Switched to a local food sold only there that is priced the same as science diet and other foods but way better for the dog. Always try to buy local!!! Great selection s and constantly have new merchandise

The puppies come from the broker, Hunte Corporation. They get the puppies from puppy mills/​large commercial breeders. No ethical breeder would sell a 4 week old puppy. They then stay at Hunte for a week while they are isolated. Do you want a dog that was taken from it’s mother at the age of 4 weeks, run through a factory-​like facility like it was on an assembly line, crammed into a tractor trailer for a sometimes across the country trip and then dropped into a brightly lit store? Remember, all of this has happened to an animal that has been on this planet for only a month or so.
Not only that, the parents of these puppies live in bad to horrible conditions.

I was ready to give 3 stars until I read that they sell pets from puppy mills. I didn’t even realize they sold puppies.
Anyway, I go here because it is close to where I work and there are no other pet food stores in the area. The selection is good but I have gone there several times and there is this one guy, not sure if the owner, and as soon as I start looking over the dog food he makes a beeline for me before I can consider the options in front of me. It might seem like good customer service, but I generally don’t like to be hovered over in a store, I like to find things on my own and if I need help, I will ask for it. Some people might appreciate the attention but I like to find things on my own. Prices are a little higher than average but they have decent selection of products.
That said, now that I know that they sell puppy mill puppies, and possibly import puppies from overseas, I have to give a one star review. This is unacceptable.

The employee I talked to was friendly and helped me find some good toys for my dog. They were full-​price, so don’t expect them to compete with Amazon, but I could see them in person. They didn’t have the type of dog food I use, which is odd because I think Purina is pretty standard. Looked like they had nice play areas to interact with the puppies, but I’m all about getting my dogs from shelters. (There are already a lot of wonderful dogs and puppies that are MUCH less expensive at shelters!) The atmosphere is pretty nice. I’d like Steve’s more if they emphasized rescue dogs and had a wider selection of food.

I hate/​love seeing puppies — hate the fact that they are in tiny cages, but love seeing the different breeds. I just wish I could take them all out of those confinements!
I wasn’t very impressed with the selection of anything else though! The selection of puppies was good and they did have some rabbits and things, but really — if you are just going to sell the pets without a huge selection of products made in USA — then I’m not shopping there again. They didn’t carry our dog food or our treats and I won’t buy crap from China!

I just moved to the area and noticed a giant sign for Steve’s Wonderful World of Pets and decided to stop in. I walked in and not a single person greeted me or asked if I needed help with anything; and I walked past several employees numerous times. Well, little did I know, they sold puppies. The puppies (ranging from a tiny Yorkie to a very large Lab puppy) were in these tiny «cages». They had to walk around on grates and the poor Lab puppy could barely stand up without hitting his head on the top of the cage. There were small breed puppies (Yorkies, Malteses) that had signs by their cages saying they were about 10 weeks old. I don’t see how that could possibly be seeing as they were close to being the full size of the breed.
I looked on the website for Steve’s petshop and the so-​called «reputable» breeder that he gets his puppies from, the Hunte Corporation, is a very well-​known puppy mill in Missouri. Don’t believe me, do your research before buying from this pet store.
I highly recommend taking your business to other pet stores that do not assist in promoting puppy mills. I will never return to this place of business and will tell everyone I know never to go there.

Little Stevie Wonder (ful)!
I can’t say enough about Steve’s Wonderful World of Pets! I dont have problems because I’ve never asked to take out a pet to pet. I have also not talked to any employees there ever. I have picked up some ginnie pigs and rabbits and weasles, though. Not that I bought them, I just picked them up. Fuzzy! And pee. I used to take my kids’ their, but I don’t anymore because they cause a ruckus and get all the fish worked up.

The puppies here are from puppy mills. Don’t support this! go to a breeder or adopt from the spca. steves pets needs to be either shut down or forced to change its ways

Years and years ago I used to to here quite a bit because I liked the variety of fish they had. Although very expensive I liked the return (yes, I did say return) policy on the fish but as a young adult I could hardly afford the stiff prices they charged. Eventually The price got to me more than what keeping fish were worth to me so I stopped going to Steves for a couple of years.
I was then in the market to add an addtional member to our family so we went back a few years ago (about 5 – 6) to «adopt» a puppy or mature dog, didnt matter to me just wanted to find the one that «clicked» with my daughter. We were then as I can recall greeted by a very pushy staff that was quite reluctant to help us find the right pup. We werent allowed to play with a few that we wanted to and were only given a few minutes to get a feel for the dog and its personality. For the obserd prices they charge for pets I would have thought they would have gone out of the way to make sure they did anything they could to please the potential customer… nope, exact opposite. A few weeks later our new puppy got ill, very ill. We took the pup to the vet that Steves instructed us to and at first they wanted to put him down. PUT HIM DOWN I SAID??? My newborn daughters best friend??? I think not !!! After many more vet trips the pup was finally nursed back to good health and we took him home. I can recall asking the vet what the problem was to which they replied some word I dont recall basically stating the pup got so sick because they caught something on a boat when it travelled overseas… weird?
I have since gone back to Steve’s, I have no idea why possibly to simply be amused that nothing has changed. They are still the way they are about viewing the pets, They still charge way too much for everything they sell and have rude employees. I love supporting local business but for all my pet needs I frequent the corporate, big box stores to get the same product for a good price. I’m sorry although I might live in Williamsville, NY I dont make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to pay the prices this place charges.
I hate to give such a horrible review about Steve’s however they have provided me with bad everything consistantly for over 6 years now.

Steve’s may be ok for supplies and small animals, but we went today fully intending to take home a puppy and they completely lost out on our dollars. The lovely tri-​color haired employee was rude and evasive, and would only let us take out certain puppies while others were allowed to take out the breed of our choice. Other customers were obviously perturbed as well. When anyone asked for a puppy, the reply was ‘umm…’ And then she would just walk away. A few times there was mention that this was for the animals benefit so that they were not too tired out (ok, fine) but after waiting for an hour with hardly any puppies allowed out of their two by two foot cage… This did not seem to be the case. If I can’t interact with a dog, I can’t know it’s personality (or health!) and therefore i will not purchase it. Back to the ‘real’ breeders.

I love spending time in Steve’s Pet store. Their are usually ferrets available for petting, and their are a couple of pen’s where prospective new dog or cat owners can get acquainted with a potential new adorable pet. their is so much petting that the puppies and kittens love to get a nap when they are in their personal cage behind the glass. The kids that work in the store are very pleasant to talk to; they seem to wait for you to start the conversation as to not annoy you while you are shopping.
And their is a Starbucks right next door, so after the wife and I get food for our golden, we stop next door. She loves their white-​hot-​chocolate.

well they sell puppies and anyone who knows about dogs knows not to buy one from a puppy mill pet store. a mastiff is a two foot cage? ya i dont think so!!! everything is super expensive, birds never have food or water, dead fish floating, children allowed to drop hamsters, old products, and snooty associates sums it up!
