The Puppy Boutique

This place sells sick dogs. Between this website, Google, and Yelp they have well over 100 negative reviews with unsatisfied customers. These people should be taken to court. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I have contacted a lawyer and the news. This place is a nightmare and has cost me over 2000.00 dollars and I have had this dog for just a week.

Worst puppy shop. I will never ever purchase a dog from this company again. I purchased this dog two weeks ago. I literally had it 14 days. On the 14 day it seemed a lil sick never went outside. Did everything the kennel said to do. So on the 14 day I took it to my vet and they said it looks like it had parvo. I called Puppy Boutique and they said, "Well bring it to our vet hospital free of no charge." I take it there and this place is even worse. Horrible. Called Pret Pet in Brooklyn New York said, "No it doesn’t have parvo. It looks like an upper respiratory infection." I said, "Well where would that come from because the dog never went outside or not do I have other dogs." So I been calling for 2 weeks about the dog, the kennel, and the hospital for 2 weeks. I got the runaround. "Oh the vet ain’t call. Oh The Puppy Boutique ain’t call you" so now I’m getting pissed 'cause no one knows about the dog or whereabouts.

Do you remember we came in about 5:30 and you were rude from the start, asked us if we had been to another puppy store, we said yes but did not handle any puppies. You told us we can look but not touch, and then said go home and shower and come back tomorrow. Big mistake. Huge mistake, you lost a big sale! And will continue to give you bad reviews. Forever. Very disappointed customers.

I bought a Micro Yorkie female puppy. It was and still is very ill to this day. I have been in touch with them from day one regarding the problems. My vet called and spoke with their vet two days after I received the dog. Tons of medical records faxed 8 times. I only asked they take the dog back and give me another one. They have danced me around telling me to talk to a Craig I have never spoken to. I have been into the store every week since dog was bought. 20,000 in debt trying to save the dog.

I see a lot of bad reviews. I only agree on one thing and that's one of the ladies was a little rude. But come on now. She was working her tail off. She wasn't even really rude but just working hard. Maybe a little tired or something. But anyway, I bought a Yorkie. Was asking 1500 but I talked them down to 1200. They was very honest with me on the phone and in person. I love my little Noah. I took him to the vet three days later and they say he is healthy. I even already have him potty trained and he is only 10 weeks old and I only had him a week which means they have been training him. He is the best thing ever and very smart. The shop was clean and they make you sanitize your hands before holding. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting a Yorkie.

BEWARE. BAIT AND SWITCH! Quoted one price over the phone and a much more expensive one once I got there. The pics they sent me were stock pics, not real pics. Staff is extremely rude. Ask them any questions about the contract and they take it as a personal attack! They will tack on a $35 chip fee that is EXTRA, and ONLY lasts for a year!?!? There are also OTHER fees they will tack on to the final price. So no you are not getting a bargain. Pup had constant diarrhea diagnosed by my vet with Giardia (intestinal infection marked by abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea and bouts of watery diarrhea; caused by a microscopic parasite). So right off the bat, in addition I got hit with vet fees for a SICK puppy. BEWARE!!!

I purchased 3 Yorkies from Puppy Boutique over the last 8 years. All have been Healthy and Never had any issues of any kind. My bosses daughter also bought a poodles from them as well. I am very happy with my puppies that I have purchased from them.

First let me start by saying I would never spend any money in that shop. I call Jamie **. He told me he had morkies for 650 and yorkies for 750. I explain I was coming from CT so make sure you have what you say. When I got there he wasn't even there. The 2 Girls showed my wife and I the puppies. The 2 he did have for 650 was almost full grown and very big. Then they said, "That's the only one for 650 but we have others starting at 2,000." I couldn't believe it. I showed her the email Jamie sent. She didn't care. They will tell you anything to get you in the store but don't go. Not worth it.

I was reading all the reviews and very skeptical about purchasing my puppy from this place. Overall just scared from all the bad things I read. I got there and it was crowded. The people working there were actually nice. I was expecting rude people but the owner also said he was the "new owner." Didn't get his name though. Over the phone they did say the price starts at 650 which there was only one puppy for 650 there whom was being sold, I ended up paying 900 plus tax for my puppy totaling 1033.

I drove two hours to this store in Brooklyn NY. I was told by phone the puppies cost was $650. When I get there this guy comes with all this BS talking about fees, surgery price etc. They had told me they had female dogs but had only one which costed over $1000. My daughter really wanted a puppy so we ended buy a male Shih Tzu. They gave me all these instructions. A bunch of vitamins and antibiotic for the puppy. Talking about because all of these puppies were together they could get sick with bacteria etc.

After purchasing my Yorkie in April 2017, within 7 days he was in an animal emergency room with severe kennel cough that turned into pneumonia. We decided to take him to the hospital Saturday morning at 4 a.m. Easter weekend. He was coughing and wheezing and appear to have trouble breathing and was very lethargic. He spent four days receiving IV fluids, medications, oxygen and a nebulizer and just barely made it through the first night. My daughter and wife were in tears. I received a letter from the veterinary hospital that the puppy was unfit for purchase and a healthy bill also over $3,600 for treatments. I contacted the store, spoke with the manager Chris who told me to send all the bills to him and the x-rays and the letter unfit for sale and my bills would be covered because of the guarantee.

When I first walked into Puppy Boutique it looked clean and nice and cute puppies they looked healthy. I was contacting with a staff member about a 700$ dog. When I got there I asked I have reserved a 700$ female yorkie. They said that it just got sold so the next dog was 1,500$. My daughter begged and begged so I got pulled in to getting it. So I stood in line for 1 hour and 30 mins. Some people in there got a puppy and just left but other people got a lecture about what to feed it and had to fill out a huge packet like me.

I came in to Puppy Boutique to buy a Yorkie teacup for my 6 yo son. After speaking to the staff and looking at a good amount of Yorkie puppies and doing my research I specifically asked to puchase a teacup Yorkie puppy that weight category does not exceed 5 pounds fully grown. I was shown a puppy and was told and guaranteed this puppy to be a 100% teacup and not to grow more than 5 pounds fully grown. I was told they screen all their breeders and their dogs to guarantee breed accuracy. They even went as far as to show us pictures of teacup Yorkies and stated that these are the parents of this puppy. We paid $300 more they asked for this puppy.

In August of 2002 I adopted a female Maltese puppy. The staff quoted me $600.00 for the puppy and that's what I paid. I visited the store two days in a row to have extended time with the puppies and the staff was patient while I formed a bond with the puppy that would become one of the most valued members of my family. Since the 15 years have passed and I have had no health problems whatsoever. In January of 2017, my Maltese passed away quietly in her sleep after minimal health complications due to old age. Up until 12/2016, she was a happy, healthy playful dog. I miss her every day and am thinking of flying from my new home in Florida to Brooklyn New York to adopt another Maltese. My best friend also adopted a Shih Tzu in 2002 and her dog is still alive and healthy.

I don't understand why so many complaints. I go way back with the same Puppy Boutique. I believe it was Maria and James--in the last 12 years or so I acquired a Maltese and 3 Shi Tzu--and I would recommend them any day of the week. Here is some helpful advice. No matter where you get a puppy from you should be letting your vet know and that’s where you should be going after you get your puppy--just for a check. Secondly the shelters are loaded with dogs that were once puppies. We don't need more breeders and generally a puppy of breeding quality is generally 3000 to 5000 dollars--I have never had a problem with the Puppy Boutique.

I am very saddened to read of all the deaths and terrible experiences people have had with this shop. My puppy (Tasyi) is 5 years old now and has been healthy and a bundle of joy in my life. I was weary to buy him cause of the shop I could tell ** was iffy but I of course like many wanted to rescue and adopt a puppy for myself. Tasyi was the 1st dog they gave me to hold and I never put him down. He clung to me and I knew he was mine. After I adopted him I set up a vet appt immediately to make sure everything checked out.

First. When I walk to the store it was very clean and nice place. Salespersons was very nice to us but they lied to us about puppy condition. I want not spayed female Shih Tzu and I asked them few times if she can have a babies. They told me, "YES, of course." I was told that she had a hernia but it's nothing and that is totally normal and nothing wrong with her. So we took cute Cookie home. After few days we went to a vet for check up as we was told. Doctor aware us that she can't have a babies and she should be neutered because if she get pregnant it's risk of passing and 90% her puppies will have hernia, too. So I call the store. The manager was mean. He start yelling and telling me that I signed a contract. I tell him that he should not sell puppies with that condition (with hernia and not spayed). He put her at high risk.

Hello everyone. Please do not purchase puppies from Puppy Boutique in Brooklyn. I had the worse experience of my life. These puppies are sick. I spoke to the owner named Michael who first of all told me the puppies were $650.00 for a male and $750.00 for a female puppy. He gave me the wrong address. I spoke with him on the phone 4 times and he never disclosed that it was a pet shop. He just kept telling me that it was his wife's shop and she was a breeder. When we got there the puppies are marked up an additional $300.00 or higher.

All I can say is I purchased a puppy yorkie from this rat hole. I called 4x. They said 750.00. I get there and she is 1575.00. My puppy was deadly ill. 3900.00 medical bills. She is on meds the rest of her life. Dr says she was unfit for sale. She had Giardia from bad water. She suffered seizures. Was placed in a induce coma. The owner Phillip had to change owners because this rat hole is still open and he put it under his wife's. Where is the city when you need them? And when a dog is sick, what do they do with it? Kill them? And by the way their veterinarian is in Howard Beach Mr. **, 1.4 ratings. Close this place down please.

I bought a toy Maltese from here a year ago and the first day I brought him home, he was lethargic and had like saliva pouring out of his mouth so bad his whole face was wet. My father calls the guy. He says give him pancake syrup it happens with all Maltese when they're young because they have low blood sugar. This puppy was sick the first couple weeks and I mean the amount of saliva coming out of his mouth was heartbreaking, but he did get better after couple trips to vet and thank God he's a healthy 1 year old now and is the cutest pup in the world!

It took me a while to get here myself to actually put down into words everything that we have gone through in the last month. A few weeks ago, we found an ad online for shih tzu puppies from a "local breeder" for $550 in Brooklyn. I was so excited to go and get a puppy and never googled the phone number or address where I was going. Just assumed people were truthful (stupid of me). When I got there I was surprised to find a store but went in anyway. There was the perfect puppy! As soon as I saw him I didn't care that it was from a store and I wanted him home with us. To my surprise the puppies were much older than advertised and all of those puppies advertised for $550 were "sold out". They only had puppies from about $700+. I didn't care because I fell in love. In hindsight this is exactly what the owners want. They don't care what lies they tell you. They just want you to get there and everything else becomes a decision of emotion.

Several years ago I purchased a Chihuahua from here. He was small, blue eyed and beyond beautiful. A month after I brought him home he become very ill out of nowhere. Around 1am I ran him to the hospital because his breathing was shallow and coughed very hard. I was told he would need X-rays and possibly surgery which would be about $2,000. I took him home that night so I can figure out how to come up with the money. Unfortunately, at 5am he took his last breath, let out one last cough which resulted in blood out his mouth. He passed away that morning at just four months old. I needed to find out what caused this so I decided to have an autopsy done. Turns out his lungs and some other organs hadn't fully developed which is a classic case of a puppy being removed from the mother prematurely in order to produce a "teacup" sized dog. Usually this takes place in puppy mills.

I bought my puppy when he was 8 weeks old. He was born 4/10/15. At the end of August he became very, very ill. He was treated with antibiotics and got well. Three weeks ago he became very ill again. I was back and forth with the vet, HSNY, ASPCA and in the end my baby died today of congenital heart failure. Drs informed me that he was born sick. Please beware of this place. They are very bad people. I am heart broken and in debt because of this place.

I purchased my Yorkie in 2012. I went through the same scenario everyone else has went through. They gave me papers saying my dog had a "hernia." Also she had stitches when I purchased her. My friend also purchased her Shih Tzu from the same place. Her dog also had a "hernia" with stitches. It is now 2015. Her dog happened to get pregnant, gave birth, and her placenta didn't contract out of the tummy. Her dog got sick. She took her dog to the ASPCA only for them to tell her that the dog didn't have surgery for a hernia. They did surgery on her dog so she wouldn't be able to produce more than one puppy.

I purchased a female supposed to be teacup yorkie from this place. Also I name her Riri. When I inquired about the pup JAMES quoted me $550 and just like the rest of you when I got there the pup I was interested in was already sold so of course I fell in love with my lil girl and wound up paying almost $900 for her. Fortunately for me it was only three other customers in the store who were also complaining about the false price. They were quoted by JAMES who happen not to be on the premises (RIGHT!!!). Anyway I got my girl, took her home. She was perfect, I watched throughout the night room her to the vet, she was in good condition. So I waited for two weeks. Called the store and spoke to a lady who wouldn't identify herself so I hung up and emailed JAMES about getting a male pup letting him know I just purchased a pup.

We got our little Yorkie from here less than 4 years ago. We were told she would be small- but we fell in love. She had a cold but our vet was comfortable with her prognosis at the time and she soon got over it. Around one year old she developed arthritis and back leg problems, then around two liver problems, then kidney problems. She did not even make it to her fourth birthday! They are not reputable- do not trust them!

I bought a Chihuahua puppy from this place a few years ago, once she turned about 1 years old she started to develop lots of health issues, losing fur, early signs of arthritis, back problems, and back leg problems, at the age of 6 she sadly passed away from her health issues. Her being the love of my life. I looked over her papers to find out her “breeder” since I was told this store gets their dogs from “good local breeders”. (I was too young at the time to know anything about puppy mills).

I am a responsible maltese breeder from the UK. I called these Guys because I thought something was very very wrong, and if I could gather enough evidence report them. First off, NEVER EVER buy a dog without doing RESEARCH. Toy dogs can be very difficult to manage, demanding and headstrong if you don't raise them properly, and are not bred properly. Don't ever buy a dog because you want something that you can dress up. One of my maltese dogs costs around $130 dollars a month, plus any injections and vet care (consultation for example cost around $70) and insurance is the best part of $1200 each year.

This store is advertised online as puppy petite puppies for sale. There's a video of the puppies in a house, also on NJ newspaper. I call and a guy by the name ** give $550.00 dollars price for a female yorkshire terrier. When I ask about the puppy's age, health, he told me that his wife knows about it. I ask for her number, she didn't answer. I call couple times his number, he even sent me pictures of the puppies. And when I got there, it was a surprise for me. It was a store. Of course he wasn't there.

We bought a puppy and was told it was neutered. We were given paperwork that said the dog was neutered. We were grooming the dog and noticed that there was no scar or shaved area and that the dog still had testicles. Took the puppy to the vet and found out that the dog wasn't neutered. Contacted them and we were told that we would have to go from Staten Island to Queens and deal with the traffic and tolls for multiple days. We told them that's not acceptable and wanted it done on the Island by a vet we trusted considering we were told it was neutered and had paperwork from their vet saying it was. We told tough luck and to sue them. Was extremely rude.
