I pointed it out to the the guy with the glasses. My daughter saw it.and started to cry. Another gentleman another gentle me. Asked me if I needed help. I told him about the dead rabbit in the cage . It was with another rabbit that was alive. The rabbit was stiff as a board. He pulled the rabbit out. Of the cage which the top was not coming off. So he squishes the dead rabbit in between the cage together it out. The other man asked if I needed help I told him what happened the guy with the glasses over heard me he came over very aggressive asking me to leave the store I told him dude the rabbit was stiff as a board . He was upset because how do u have a pet store. Selling dead animals. If they were doing there job they would have noticed the dead bunny. My daughter saw. Shake a paw has paid several fines for puppy *****. He t9ld me I was making q scene. And it was just a rabbit. Animals die all the t8me he said. You can't treat people like that..

Someone gave me a one year old peketese dog from Shake a paw in ********. I noticed from the beginning something wasnt right. He did go to the vet and i got him all his shots. At one years old his breath stunk so bad as well as his body. The vets told me he needed his teeth pulled which is odd for a young dog. At 7 years old he went completly blind. Its from a gentic disease passed down from one his parents or some where down the line. The disease is rare. I bought him to two different vets and they diagnosed him with Sards which is an autoimmune disease. There was nothing that could be done. Eventually it affects your organs. I put wee wee pads down in the bathroom since he could not be walked outside anymore. I found drops of blood all the time. He sometimes had trouble swallowing. He went to the bathroom constantly. I went through so many wee wee pads. He then developed a tumor which had to be removed surgically and there was a chance he wouldnt make it because of his disease. I decided the best thing was to put him down. He went through so much. He was 12 years old and usually a dog with ***** lives till about 13. It broke my heart when he would walk and bunk into things. I have been a dog owner for 31 years. My poodle came from a breeder and lived till 16 with no health issues. The dog I have now is a mixed breed and will be 16 soon. He has no health issues. He came from his mother straight to me at 8 weeks. I had 2 greyhounds but they also come from bad living conditions. They lived till about 10. These puppy ***** need to be shut down. They are horrible and sell sick puppies. I know a few people who got dogs there. When its time for me to get another dog I will rescue them or go to the local shelters. Dont buy from pet shops. Go the North Shore or shelters to rescue dogs.

SHAKE A PAW-HICKSVILLE- SHOULD BE PENALIZED FOR SELLING SICK PUPPIES TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AND LYING TO MAKE A PROFIT. On 07/08/2023, I purchased a 4-month-old female puppy-(Shih-poo) from Hicksville location. After a day, I noticed that the puppy was not feeling well & making weird sounds like coughing, sneezing, choking & gagging. The puppy was rushed to a veterinarian and diagnosed with severe ear infection and upper respiratory infection that is being treated with antibiotics currently. The veterinarian recommended me to feed puppy canned food and charged me $74 for parasite screening. My puppy looks so miserable and sick. I called Shake-A-Paw right away and complained about them selling me a sick puppy and requested them to take puppy back as I can't take care of the sick puppy while working full time however I was informed that the puppies are Final Sales. As a first-time dog owner, I feel very overwhelmed; I have to take time off from work constantly to monitor my puppy and have to take puppy back to veterinarian for follow-up after she finishes the antibiotics. I feel I have been cheated by this store as they are fooling their customers by lying that their dogs / puppies are healthy when they are not. They should have the puppies checked by the veterinarian regularly before selling a sick puppy/dog and also, they should have their policy PUPPIES ARE FINAL SALES listed somewhere in the store. They rush the customers to sign the documents before allowing them the time to read the agreement. I feel very disappointed. I need the store to return the puppy and refund me.

I purchased a Goldendoodle on Sept. 04, 2022 from Shake a Paw in ********, **. I took the puppy home and about an hour later, I noticed a running nose, coughing, and sneezing. I reported the issue immediately to Shake a Paw and was told.to make a Vet appointment. ***** visited the Vet and was diagnosed with a respiratory issue and had evidence of mucus build up. I called and spoke to ******** who sold the puppy and was called a liar. She proceeded to hang the phone up on me. I am very disappointed in the customer service e and issue with *****. I reported the treatment to a manager at the ***************** and a worker at the ******** office.

TERRIBLE! I went in to look and felt pressured to buy a puppy that was 5 months old. The man stood over me the whole time I was playing with the puppy. Heard me say I feel terrible to leave him here to my friend - his responce was so dont. Take him home the sales man further told me that I needed to buy the food the puppy was on and sold me a bag of food for $65 that the puppy WOULD NOT TOUCH! Lastly I just got his ***** test back and he is LOADED with parasites transmissible through **** and licking other dogs bottoms that have it. Now my dogs that I had already are in jeopardy and need to be treated as well. My vet said the puppy had 1 shot to prevent him in February but never rev the 2nd dose according to the paperwork the store gave me.

When we got our puppy there 5 years ago she got so sick. Two days after we got her she was pooping blood. She stopped eating and drinking. We brought her to vet and he said she was very, very sick and needed to stay there. She was there for over 5 days till she got better. The vet was very worried about her. She was deathly ill and we were all worried she wouldnt make it. Supposedly she was checked out by Shake A Paws vet before we got her. How could that be? Thank God we got her to the vet when we did. He saved her and thats why we still have her now

I purchased a golden retriever puppy for *****. Loved her like a child and she died one week after her first birthday. My family was devastated. Thought it was a fluke- so purchased another puppy to help mend my families heart. That puppy had kennel cough when she came home and infected my two other dogs. Had to pay for three vet visits and medication. Now the same puppy has gastrointestinal issues. Repeatedly have to take her to the vet and have spend so Much money on different types of special food and her care.

Shake A Paw is a HORRIBLE PLACE to buy a Puppy! We paid $**** for a Siberian husky shes just over a year old weve had her for eight months and shes totally blind and its costing us **** to get her hoping to get her eyesight back! Not only did she have glaucoma in both eyes but one is worse than the other! PLEASE do NOT buy a Puppy from Shake A Paw! My Heart breaks for All of these sick Puppys!
