    Dogs are akc certified. Very clean and organized place to shop for a puppy. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Help me picked up supplies after I bought my puppy since I was the first time owner of a puppy. Very patient customer service every time I go back to shop. Everybody in the store says hi to my puppy since they still remember him. Haha. All in all, if any of my friends looking for a pet I’d recommend them to take a look at this place before they make a decision. Below is my cutie pie. He is 3.5 month old now.

    I wanted to write a review to tell people about my experience at Shake A Paw. It started with just a trip to shake a paw to see the puppies. We were greeted by Bryan who was extremely helpful, friendly and a pleasure to talk to. He introduced us to a Mini Australian Shepard who we fell in love with immediately and decided to purchase. We then met James the manager was also extremely nice, helpful and a pleasure to interact with. My experience was 5 star and I recommend shake a paw to anyone looking to bring home a new member of the family!!

    Adopted a 4 month old mini dachshund, she's been everything we've wanted and more. Her dewclaw was incorrectly removed, and Shake a Paw paid for its removal. They recommended a wonderful vet, who we love. Side note - we went in every Saturday for several months simply to play with puppies before we found the perfect one. Shake a Paw was very patient with us during this process and helped us pick out the best puppy.

    My girlfriend and I are in the market for a Puppy. After spending a decent amount of time in the Lynbrook store yesterday deciding which puppy we like best, my girlfriend asked to play with a puppy. We asked a male sales Rep which told us we had to ask another female sales rep. When the female sales rep approached us and we asked to play with the puppy, her response was “are you sure you really want to play with this puppy? They get sick very often so you probably shouldn’t.” I told her that we were seriously interested and finally she let my girlfriend play with the puppy. My girlfriend went in the booth with the puppy and I stood outside looking in. The female sales rep left and the male sales rep came over. I asked him how much a different puppy was and he looked at me and responded “a lot” which I was offended by.

    I let the comment slide without saying anything, but then he began to make more demeaning comments which caught me off guard since we had no other previous interactions which would have brought about this behavior and my girlfriend and I were serious about bringing the dog home. At this point I was bothered by his comments so I responded “why wouldn’t you tell me how much the other dog was?”. He responded saying “because I know you wouldn’t have bought it”. At this point I was so bothered that I had my girlfriend give the dog back and we left the store and she was crying the whole way home because of the situation and how badly she wanted the puppy. This was unacceptable and unwarranted behavior by the sales rep and I hope that Shake A Paw fixes this problem.

    I have been going to Shake A Paw since they opened many years ago. I purchase all of my puppy (dog) supplies and food from them throughout the years. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Kathy (an employee) for several years now. She always greets me with a big smile and hello. She goes out of her way to assist with any supplies I need. While purchasing supplies, I usually take a few minutes to play and look at the many breeds of puppies on display that day. Most of the time they're on many types and different sizes and temperaments. There's nothing that can change a bad day to good more than the happiness shown from a puppy when you give them a little of your attention. They are very well taken care of by the entire staff.

    I have never seen anything but a very clean, organized and well stocked store. One of the best things is it never smell of anything unsanitary. Not just because they obsessively clean the cages but they always have those great smelling candles lit within the store. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that needs or wants a new friend to add to their family or just needs supplies for their existing ones. Great store, puppies, and employees!

    They have a great selection of dog breeds, with different ages and types. It's worth it just to see the puppies because of the amazing variety. I got a Shiba Inu puppy, Hachie, there at about 10 weeks old in June 21. (I was so curious of his peculiarly amazing/well-behaved temperament so I got his 5 generation pedigree from AKC and found out he has a bunch of Champion bloodlines.) I love/appreciate that they give health insurance for about a month when you get a puppy there. Puppies are fragile and it can be stressful for their health moving place to place from the breeder to the store and ultimately to their forever home.

    Shake A Paw knows this and they have been helpful and assuring since day one when I got my puppy. They went through everything with me, guiding me on the care of Hachie. They told me what to expect, what might/could happen, and what to do when it does. They also have a one year health guarantee on the puppy from conditions that might develop on the time frame. I would also like to mention price tags; there have been mentions of them being pricey but ultimately they're not; they have assurances/guarantees when you buy a pet from them and they're prices are within range of purebred puppies in the northeast.

    I purchased my new puppy in June 2017. I went back and forth to Shake A Paw Lynbrook several times, each time Chris was so happy to see me and ever so patient with me. I did not know what I wanted to purchase. Since my husband passed away I was very confused if I really wanted a puppy. Well Chris should be recognized for his outstanding help, consideration, devotion and loving care he gave to me. I finally walked in in June and he walked me to the new puppies that just came in and there she was, he stood with me the whole time I was bonding with her then he graciously made sure that I had everything I needed for my new life with my new love, and love her I do.

    Chris told me that she somehow will fill the empty void and quietness in my home after I leave my kids and grandchildren, when the door closes and I am alone she is there to comfort me - well we comfort each other. I also go down to Shake A Paw for all my supplies for my little one, because he makes it so easy to get exactly what I need for her. Shake A Paw is blessed to have him as an employee and I/we are blessed to have him in our lives as a part of our family. Thank you Chris from the bottom of our hearts. Keep up the good work.

    Let me begin by saying that buying my puppy is the best choice I've ever made, and Shake A Paw in Hicksville, NY really made it easy. From the beginning, their staff were considerate, knowledgeable and professional. I used their website to find my Pomsky, and soon made a visit. After we got acquainted I knew I made the right choice.

    The girl that has been helping me since the beginning, McHaela, made becoming a dog owner as easy as possible; I've trained dogs before and lived with them but never my own. You can tell how passionate she is about finding each little pup not only a home, but the right one. Her guidance provided me with everything I needed, from medical information to feeding habits and everything in between. McHaela's experience speaks for itself; her knowledge of the animals and general practice made for a great experience all around. Soon I'll be bringing Harley back for a visit; she just turned one in April! So happy, thank you McHaela and Shake A Paw, Hicksville!

    Best pet store I've ever been to. Last Monday, 5/15, was our second time visiting this Shake a Paw. My boyfriend, son and I went in to get some new fish for our fish tank. This is also why we went the first time. Last time as well as this, our experience was superb. Michaela was working that day, an expert on fish with several tanks of her own. She helped us pick out a new filter, which is still working great. She told us which fish we could get and mix with the ones we had, as well as which ones we shouldn't. She was very polite and professional.

    The fish are much healthier than the last time we got some from PetSmart; which didn't last very long. Our tank is still thriving. We also went to see some puppies. While we were doing that, James came over and we had a chat about puppies. He brought one puppy out for our toddler to pet. He was very friendly and courteous. I recommend this store to all my friends considering pets or pet supplies. Will be visiting again.

    I bought my puppy from Shake A Paw 13 years ago. She was a Goldendoodle. The best dog ever. I lost her 1 year ago and They in fact found the right dog for me. Beautiful Labradoodle, boy, chocolate brown with a sweet kind disposition. Tina took great care of him while he was waiting to come home. She trained him to sit and brushed him every day. It's a very trustworthy place which is hard to find when looking for an important member of your family. Super place, long history of being in business, great staff and great quality puppies.

They did a nice job and we had a really good experience. As a matter of fact, we're looking into getting another dog from them.

    I adopted a dog from a friend and they got the dog from Shake a Paw Puppies. I was looking for a rescue dog of the same breed which is not that common, so I checked with them if they had any. When I went over there, I liked what I saw in terms of the environment. The dogs were in open pens there. The puppies can be seen in a more natural environment amongst themselves playing and frolicking. Even the ones that were enclosed and in smaller containers, they were clean and well-maintained and the animals looked to be in good health and in good condition. All of their eyes were clear, they didn't spit and there was no smell even when you took the mouth. The animals looking healthy was an indication of having maintained it off-hours as well. My neighbors who have young dogs got their dogs there too and they also had very good things to say.

    The staff was extremely helpful, not pushy. They were feeling me out as much as I was looking at the dogs and feeling them out as well. They asked very good questions to get a sense of how I would be as a pet owner and what my experience trouble would be. I was very pleased with the fact that they were questioning me as well. They want to make sure that she got a good home.

    They would make suggestions based upon what my lifestyle was and needs for and what I was looking for in terms of a family member of an animal species. They gave me guidance as she got older what her food and needs would be or recommended based on their experience. In addition, the pens were constantly being cleaned while I was there - people mopping the floor and wiping it down. They have attendants there and as soon as one of the animal pets gone to the bath and they were in there changing the paper.

    Almost all of the people that worked there are big time animal lovers with multiple dogs or animals in their own household. They shared their best practice tips and different things. A lot of them do training on the side. Even though I didn't engage enough with training, they offered that guidance free just upon having conversations with them. I got that sense from everyone that I dealt with. They were all very engaged and they always ask about the dog. My dog's name is Betty White, an American Eskimo, and they always remembered her name and who I was. They all enjoyed what they do.

    They also gave a recommendation about the vet that they work with and they were selective. They didn't just choose anybody. I love the vet so much and I've been using my other vet for over 30 years. I'm now using this vet. The vet said that he sees a lot of dogs from that location that are all in good condition. He said that my dog is another one from that location that didn't come to him with Kennel cough which dogs can get so easily from everywhere. Also, when you get the dog, you get the first three months of free vet visits and the follow-up shots.

    The puppy is a year old and she has quite a personality. She's a very happy and well-adjusted dog. I've gone back there since the original purchase for the food and various other items like leashes. They offered a full-service pet store with items that as your dog grows you'd find helpful. I needed to get bigger harnesses and they helped fit the dog with the proper size and also one that would best meet her in entry levels.

    Last week In September I went in Shake A Paw and fell in love with my fur baby. When we were about to start paperwork I noticed he had a little cough and snots. They said they had to keep him until he was vet approved to leave. On October 6th they called me. He was cleared to go home. I went with my son and fill out paperwork. I told them I had my own vet. I was told fine. If any issues bring in the bills and they want them in then send me a check.

    When I was almost home the puppy sneezed to where green snots came out of his nose. By the evening I had to rush him to the vet. He was coughing up foam and dry heaving. His nose was so filled of snots. He was eating fine and going to the bathroom. No issues. I left spending over 400. I called the store and spoke to James. How he's a manager is beyond me. He yelled at me and pretty much blamed it on me. He said I have to use their vet otherwise they don't do anything. I told him I signed a paper saying that in 14 days I have to take the puppy to the vet and they have to reimburse me the charges. James kept cutting me off and talking over me telling me when a dog leave they get sick. I told him "he got sick within 15mins?" I said "you sent him home really sick." And he said my vet who I have used for 6 plus years is wrong and lying to me. My pet is fine.

    I said I'm sending in the bills and I expect a check with my refund. After all my puppy was sick. He's 13 weeks old and I paid over 3500. Now my puppy is more sick and got my other dogs really sick to where they are hospitalized. The puppy has not got better at all. I went to the vet for his check up and they have to change his meds and almost had to stay overnight. Only reason he's not is because he's still eating. His X-rays show how filled his chest is with fluid. He's now on 3 meds along with a breathing treatment every 4 hours. I came home and called but James was not available and I spoke to Anthony who at first thought he was nice but turned nasty just like James.

    I explained everything saying how I paid over 1000 in vet bills within 3 weeks and now I have 2 very sick dogs. He told me it's not his issue. "Vet tell you what they want." Their vets tell the truth pretty much and if I don't use their vet oh well. I told him that's not true. I read the contract and the person I did paperwork with said my vet was fine to use. I don't want to use a random vet that I don't know and on top of that as I read reviews it's James' family member that the vet. I called the "Corporate Office" but they can't handle hicksville issues. They just know they get a lot of calls about these issues.

    How can a business do this to people? First I was overcharged and I accepted that because I fell in love with this puppy and so did my kids. They don't stand by their word and when there is an issue they want to put the blame on you. I get when dogs are mixed they will get sick but if he was still sick they should have not let them go home. Now I spent about 5000 and we don't know if my dog is going to make it. On top of that my other bulldog is very ill and not getting better. They need to be shut down. My next step is a lawyer and they will pay for everything.

    We live about four blocks from Shake A Paw in Lynbrook and that’s like our second place to live. I love going in there and we're always looking around. We got our puppy there almost four years ago when we tried to adopt one and I couldn’t find one that I loved. She’s a Pekingese Poodle and she’s a lap dog. She’s at least seven and a half to eight pounds. She’s healthy and her name is Bailey. We got her when she was just four months old.

    Their Lynbrook location is clean and since we bought her, they’ve redone the store so it’s even nicer now. Their consultants were all helpful and knowledgeable. If one didn’t have the answer, they would go to the other to find the answer, which I thought was nice instead of giving us a fake answer. Every time we need a new toy we go there. Also, a lot of their staff when we bought Bailey were still there. So every time we go in there, we’re like a second family to them.

    We purchased an English Bulldog from Shake a Paw three years ago in the month of May. Her name is Lola and she's now three years old. They say it could be a little tricky with English Bulldogs because they usually have issues, but we’ve been lucky. So far, Lola’s perfect. She gets regular vet visits, and she has a clean bill of health. I’ve actually brought her into Shake a Paw to visit. We’ve stopped in there from time to time looking to also purchase another dog in the future.

    We got her from the Lynbrook location. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and not pushy at all. The same familiar faces for a couple of years now that I’ve seen who work there are extremely helpful. They know us now when we go in there. This location is spotless. When you pass by, the windows are sparklingly clean. When you go in, everything is maintained. No matter what time we’ve been in there, it’s always the same. Also, we get the same great experience every time we go in. Additionally, a lot of people go to Shake a Paw, and I heard from these people that Shake a Paw always stood by whatever issues somebody has had with their pet.

    We bought our dog "Sally" 8 years ago from Shake A Paw in Hicksville, NY. The staff at Shake A Paw was patient, professional and courteous with us throughout the entire process. Eight years have passed and we are still very happy. Thank You.

    We got our golden doodle from Shake a Paw in Lynbrook, their customer service was above & beyond!! Not only was the staff friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, they walked us through everything from his breeder to his favorite chew toys. They helped us care for him and continue to give us tips on how to raise our new fur baby! We continue to buy all our puppy supplies from Shake a Paw because the staff has become like family to us and they all LOVE seeing our pup Lincoln mature & grow!!

    I read good reviews and a lot of references about Shake a Paw so I decided to purchase a bulldog from their Lynbrook location during the summer of August 2015. I got an English bulldog and named her Reese. She's about six months now and she's red and white. I've been to both Hicksville and Lynbrook locations and I like both stores, but I think the store in Lynbrook is clean and the people there were more friendly. The pet experts and consultants were really experienced and any questions that I had were all answered. Being a first-time dog owner is not easy and I was nervous at the beginning, but they made me feel comfortable. Also, they have all the supplies over there and showed me everything I needed for the puppy. Overall, I think Shake a Paw was great and I'm satisfied with them. My dog is doing great and she's a happy little dog.

    If you get a price quote from anyone in the store, get it in writing if you are not purchasing the same day. I was quoted a price, in front of 2 other people and today I was quoted a price that was $500 more. The salesperson denies that she quoted me the lower price. GET IT IN WRITING!

    Not only did I have an amazing experience purchasing my puppy at Shake a Paw, but the amazingness has continued for years thereafter. I purchase all of my supplies there because they are like family... They always ask about my puppy by name, and they always remember the types of toys he loves and the types of foods and snacks he eats. Shake a Paw is an awesome place with really great people!!!

    Couldn't be more happy with the service, knowledge and overall experience we had at Shake A Paw. I went firmly against what I had thought about pet stores and am very very happy. James is extremely knowledgeable about the breeds and was really really nice. I would feel very, very confident in recommending this store to another person.

    Shake a Paw’s amazing. I walked in ‘cause I was looking for a dog for a while. As soon as I walked into that store, the amount of dogs that they had compared to how the store looked and smelled showed me that they actually do the right thing. I’ve been to stores where they have 20 dogs and I couldn’t even walk in to the place. Shake a Paw has close to 100 dogs and I couldn’t even smell them.

    I got a beautiful, little nine and a half week old Cocker Spaniel which I named Goldie. I talked to Tony and he knew what he was talking about. I was looking for a totally different breed for my daughter and he advised me that that dog wasn't good. He showed me the Cocker Spaniel and talked about the pros and cons, so that helped me a lot with my decision. He walked around the whole store with me and told me what not and what to get. I wanted to get something and he told me I didn’t need it. He was not trying to push products on me. I also appreciate the manager's coming up to me to make sure everything was good. He even gave me a little discount on some of the products. I would recommend Shake a Paw to anybody.

    I purchased a Siberian husky puppy from Shake A Paw in Lynbrook New York. I was greeted immediately by Krista who was very warm and friendly. She answered all my questions and was very patient with me. She was very knowledgeable and could tell passionate about what she does and of course a dog lover. She took care of me from start to finish. During the decision process to bringing my family to interact with the puppy we were considering, she addressed everyone's concerns and questions. Although Shake A Paw was not the cheapest option it was the experience that we were provided that made it the right choice. I had a great experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for a pleasant and warm experience when making this important and significant purchase.

    Shake A Paw's pet experts and consultants were very good. I wanted a cute little baby and they recommended a Teddy Bear which is a cross between a Shih Tzu and a Bichon. I love my puppy and I got her at the Lynbrook location. I had a very good experience but I wish the parking is better.

    Shake a Paw has a better selection than the other pet stores, their explanation of the breeds of dogs are very informative, and it seemed like a more professional puppy store, so I bought a black and tan German Shepherd pup on March 19th at the Lynbrook store. I named him Bonsai. The people working at Shake A Paw were very well versed in their stuff. I'm very pleased, and my experience was great. There were no hitches and everything is going fine with the pup.

    They’re clean at Shake A Paw Puppies, immaculate. If the puppies went to the bathroom, it was cleaned up right away. There was no odor when I walked in there. Even when I brought my friends, they were amazed at how clean it was. The animals looked like they’re well taken care of. I have two dogs from them named Lacey and Simon and they're very good. I have a Shih Tzu that’s six and a three-pound Yorkie that's 13. I got them at the Shake A Paw Puppies Hicksville location. The people there were great too. They knew everything I needed. I had to call up about housebreaking one of the dogs and they took their time. I didn't have a problem, even in going in to buy supplies, a playpen or whatever I needed. If I had a problem that my dog didn’t like, such as something he wasn’t gonna use, I could bring it back. They’re good like that. They're helpful. I have recommended them to friends and family.

    We took home our female Shih Tzu on Christmas Eve from Shake a Paw Puppies at Lynbrook. The store was very nice and clean. Everybody was very nice and they seemed knowledgeable. They had a very nice plan because we bought the puppy before that day, and they managed to keep the puppy in the office until Christmas Eve so we could take her home and surprise the kids. It was a very good experience and would definitely go there again.

    I know some people who bought their dogs from Shake a Paw and they told me that they were very happy, so I decided to also buy my Havanese Bichon from Shake a Paw. She is eight years old now and I bought her from the Lynbrook location, which is an excellent and super clean store. Their pet experts and consultant were very helpful. They gave me paperwork on how to train the dog, how to care for her and recommended some vets in my area that I happen to love. When I did have a question about training her after we got home, I called back and the sales rep who helped us got on the phone and spent a lot of time with us with any questions we had asked her. It was our first time buying a dog, and we felt very comfortable and confident, and we had a wonderful experience.

    Shake a Paw seemed most convenient and knew what they were doing. They basically picked out my puppy for me. I told them what I was looking for and they pointed me to the right dog then showed me all the supplies and everything I might need. I now have a German Shepherd named Kobe who's about four months old. They were also very helpful and gave good service overall. I've been to other pet stores before and it wasn't the same. Furthermore, Shake A Paw's store in Lynbrook didn't smell, was really clean, and looked well.

    I have to say I am so happy I came across Shake A Paw to find my puppy a sweet & smart Boston Terrier Viper. We found him on the internet for Shake A Paw & we went to the store & immediately fell in love with our 5 month old Boston Terrier. We knew we wanted him while we spent time with him in the room. We went to visit him everyday for two weeks until we were able to bring him home. Everyone was so helpful, well-informed & so nice. I can tell my puppy was well taken care of & he was loved by everyone that worked there. My puppy responded very well to everyone while being there we saw & when we brought him back to visit.

    Chris went out of his way to be extra helpful & Matt & James the manager were simply amazing. They all made us feel very comfortable with our whole experience there, shopping for our puppy. We couldn't have asked for a better place to have purchased our puppy. We purchased our puppy in February & we are happy to say that our puppy is 100% healthy. We've been to the vet twice already for his routine check-ups & the vet gave our puppy a clean bill of health. He is so sweet, smart, so well behaved & friendly, it's unbelievable. I am eternally thankful to everyone in Shake a Paw. When we are ready for our next puppy Shake A Paw is where we'll be getting our next puppy. =}. HAPPY OWNER.
