10:13 am on a Sunday, 12/13/15…closed. Good Job. It would be nice if you could be open when you say you will be. Get your act together before a developer comes in and takes your business.

Love this place! Their owner was super friendly when I came by to pick up cat supplies (for my fuzz baby Dim Sum), and very helpful suggesting different cat foods and cat shampoo’s. Their place is also home to a fat, sweet, orange kitty. He let’s you pet him with little compunction and purrs like a little motor boat.
The prices here are very reasonable and it’s the only pet store near me that carries quality cat food such as the Premium Wellness brand and Taste of the Wild. Their stock is always plentiful (I buy 25 cans at a time…) and has a diverse selection to choose from.
One time, the owner even gave us a free kitty toy…

Another victim of this store not being open when it said it would be. I know that they close at 9 pm seven days a week, but I called yesterday just to make sure. I asked what time they are closing tonight (yesterday night) and the man said, after hesitating, «around 8:30 pm». I said okay and thank you. I headed out the door because I was COMPLETELY out of dog food. I arrived at 8:15 pm and the place was locked up, nobody around, and nobody answering the phone. And again, the ringing phone went straight to a Time Warner voice mail box that had not been set up yet. Never again. I am all for supporting local businesses but don’t dupe your customers. So frustrating and not the way I wanted to spend a random Thursday night.

Went at 9:15 on a Sunday and this store was closed. No one around when I peeked in the window, though the store hours on the door read 9:00 am.
I tried to call and got a generic telephone company voice mail message indicating that the mailbox had not been set up.

Your classic friendly neighborhood pet store. They carry Stella & Chewy’s, which is the only thing my dog will eat. Lots of options for chewy treats for dogs! Pricing is the same as everywhere else so lets assume that’s fair. Service has always been great for me (and I’ve been coming here for three years so far). I love love love that they’re open until 9pm, seven days a week. I’m the kind of dog dad that needs to run out late because we’ve run out of food.

Have only tried to come here once after seeing the great reviews. Sure enough, place wasn’t open and it was nearly an hour after «opening.» No sign for any explanation. THEN, I see multiple reviews in which this is a common occurrence. …Don’t get it. Change the hours or hire more staff in order to keep the business running properly. There are many other pet stores with reliable hours people can and will go to.

So happy I discovered this gem! Great variety at good prices. The staff is always friendly to me as well. A bonus is visiting their orange cat!

Small local pet store packed with a lot of stuff. You will find pet food ranging from Wellness to, cough cough, Beneful. Asked them to please stock a particular cat litter for me, and they were quick to oblige — so cool. Love that neighborhood feel/personal touch. Also love the big orange cat who hangs out here. On the down side, I once walked all the way over here on a weekday just before noon, and the place was locked tight, although the sign on the door showing hours of operation indicated they were open.

SO MUCH packed into a tiny store. They have GREAT prices. I thought this place was going to cost a lot more than they charge because they are a local boutique shop but nope! They have a huge selection of litter, food, toys, etc. Ill be coming here for my cat often!

After ordering a big bag of dog food from Amazon and not receiving it within 2 days, as guaranteed by Prime (stupid USPS), I went on a hunt for local places that carry my brand. After all, my pooch was hungry! After a quick phone call to confirm, I stopped by and picked up a bag — and the price was within 20 cents of Amazon’s price! You can’t beat that!
A+ for friendly service and prices that can compete with the big boys online. Thanks Pets on the Run!

Went in for a specific brand of cat food (I don’t live anywhere near here so I made a special trip). I called ahead to make sure they had the bags. They did, but all the bags they had on the shelf had expired 4 months earlier. I mentioned it to the man working at the time and he made a comment about calling the manufacturer but left the items on the shelf. Be warned and check for expiration dates!
EDIT: I had review remorse and am upping my 1 star to 3. They DO have a good selection and prices are good but you have to REALLY check expiration dates here since it seems that a bunch of stuff (included cans) were outdated. I see they help local animals and also they have a cool looking sweet Tom cat in teh store. I dig that. So I hope they do the right thing and sort out their inventory.

Got a coupon in the mail from Blue Buffalo pet food, which had the names and addresses of local retailers who would accept it printed on it, including Pets On The Run.
The clerk refused to honor it because «only the manager can take coupons» and the manager wasn’t in.

this place is a nice addition to the neighborhood but dont count on them being open at 9. I have gone multiple times in the morning only to find it still closed. Sometimes it happens during the day too; the door will be locked with no one inside. There is never a sign on the door, but sometimes if you wait, some one will show up with a slice of pizza and apologize when they let you in. hate giving bad reviews but i just came back from standing outside for ten minutes and having to come back home empty handed.

Updating this review. It still gets five stars — wish I could give it more. This store deserves a ten for helping some of the local animals in need.
Give this store your business. They truly deserve it. Hope they stay around for a long time.

Great local store filled with holistic pet products. While its not a huge store, ive yet to look for something here that they carry in petco or the larger chains and not find it. If you do happen to find something they do not carry or have run out of, they will order it for you. The location is very conveniently located at the Astoria Blvd stop on N/Q train.
The staff is knowledgable and really friendly. They really love animals at this pet shop. The store cat Max even has his own facebook page, and they give out treats to the dogs that come in the store. The prices are some of the best ive seen for my cat’s fancy food. They also offer free delivery! There is really no reason to shop anywhere else for pet products in the Astoria area.

Very reasonable $! They have the main dog and cat food brands. Lots of toys as well.
The owner is amazing, he always gives food samples for my dog.
Did I mention their cat? Max is adorable!)

This is a great store! The staff is knowledgeable and really friendly. I had to put my kitten on a Limited Ingredient Diet and the clerk was so patient in helping me select a brand of wet and dry food for him. I also have an older cat in my home so she directed me to a food for cats and kitten. They have a very large selection for cats and dogs. Also, their prices are very reasonable.
Not only do they have such excellent customer service they are open 9am — 9pm (including Sunday’s) and they’ll deliver for you!

So excited when I saw that a new pet store opened a 2 blocks away from me. Not only is this place convenient, but the owner and the staff as so incredibly nice.
I purchased a 5 pound bag of cat food and a 15 pound bag of litter, the clerk insisted on delivery and he threw in a cat toy for free.
Max, the store cat is adorable and greets you as you walk through the door.
My first time there and I was given a 10% discount (don’t know of it still applies to new customers).
All in all a great experience, wonderful/helpful staff and a convenient location (right off the train? Hello!) make this my go to pet store from now on.
Go as well. You won’t be disappointed.
Ps: I found the prices here a tad cheaper than the Whiskers place down by the park.
