Pet Stores in Union, NJ

“Shake a Paw has been so helpful with our family finding the perfect puppy to add to our family. The staff have been extremely friendly. Christine, in the Union location, has gone above and beyond to ensure that we have a great experience from start to finish. We had such an easy first experience that we got a second puppy from Shake a Paw. I would highly recommend Shake a Paw. Thank you for your help in bringing two new little ones to our family.”

“Owner seems passionate! High quality selection for pets. I previously used a dry dog food for 7 years that was #1 rated by vets and even sold by my vet! I thought my dog was a rediculous shedder. Vacuumed daily.. My vet confirmed "some dogs do shed like that." This store owner had much to say about the "#1 vet recommended pet food" and explained I was starving my dog of essential vitamins. Now I have had dry dog food FROM food for 5 months and he loves it. His coat is nowy dog has a soft coat and sheds like a normal dog. Stores like these are great because they educate themselves on the products and sell what is proven to be good.”

“I haven't visited this Vet yet, but I called and they were very helpful on the phone. They informed me of a walk in vaccination program they have on Tuesdays & Thursdays so we can get rabies vaccines for our two healthy cats very cheap & with no additional exam/visit fees. I will go next Thursday and update this review if there are any surprises, or if I am less than happy with the walk-in experience or with the information I received on the phone.”

“The Petsmart grooming salon at Union, NJ is wonderful! My pet is so clean and she smells like vanilla coconut, she is so cute and I love her fur trim. I was able to get a same day appointment for my cat, which I really appreciated. Cinnabon can be a little difficult sometimes but the staff is great with her and she looks happy to be clean :-)”

“This review is specifically for our Vetco experience at this location. We came here for our dog's vaccinations. We received a phone call as we were driving for intake prior to the appointment which definitely saved time at the visit. During the intake, we were offered to put her on flea/tick prevention in addition to heartguard prevention meds which we didn't know were part of Vetco's services. They explained the differences and gave us the financial information over the phone which was helpful so we could discuss it during the car ride. Once we checked in to Vetco, our dog's weight was taken, and we were brought inside where a vet tech asked us some more questions. Pretty quickly after, Dr. Mohamed entered. I will say that Dr. Mohamed was not very talkative, nor maybe even gentle; in fact, while we wondered Petco waiting for her blood test results, we weren't sure how we felt about the visit. However, while we were waiting and wondering about the store, someone came to find us and ushered us inside the room where Dr. Mohamed told us our dog had Lyme. He compassionately addressed our questions and concerns because we had gone to another vet to deal with a tick we found on her. He professionally educated us about the standard that should have been given and told us what to ask the next vet for the follow-up/treatment of her Lyme. He also patiently answered any questions we had after his conversation with us. Dr. Mohamed's demeanor reminded me of a surgeon; he was very clinical at the beginning of the visit, and did what he had to. However, when his patient had an illness, he took the time to properly address the concerns and even fill in the gap of knowledge. We have had a couple poor experiences with vets, but are grateful for Dr. Mohamed and Vetco's affordable help. We would definitely consider coming to this Vetco even though there are closer options for the treatment we received.”

“The Groomers at this Petco are amazing! They are professional, compassionate, accommodating, and just about every positive descriptive adjective you can think of.
Just by simply watching our dogs' reactions as we walk over to the counter at the Groomers' station, you can tell that the our friends are treated well and have a great experience getting a haircut and beauty treatments.
We used to spend triple the amount of $$ taking our dogs to high class groomers in the area and the dogs were never happy to go back (says it all).”
