The Pet Market

I live around the corner and have been going to Pet Market for years, and felt the need to respond to the bizarrely negative reviews below. Don't let these fool you. Pet Market is well-stocked with both premium and lower-quality pet foods, toys, and sundry accoutrements, and the service ranges from decent to very pleasant. The prices aren't low, but seem in line with the other neighborhood stores I've visited in NYC. All in all, a perfectly reasonable place to shop -- and entirely undeserving of the negative press seen here.

Are these people for real? Who is buying from this place. I just called to ask about a 27lb bag of dog food, for which i normally pay $40 at my pet store downtown, but with having moved to a new neighborhood, i need something local, the woman on the phone quoted me $79.99!!!!!! What???? That's actually what I said to her. I was dumbfounded and horrified that people can just get away with highway robbery and annoyed with the idiots who shop here whereby letting the owners believe it's perfectly ok to charge this much!
In the era of the internet don't they understand that people are now savvier than ever and WE KNOW HOW MUCH THIS STUFF COSTS!!!!! I was hoping for something local but with those prices I'd sooner walk to Ohio!

There's just no excuse for the ridiculously high prices in this store. I understand they can't compete with places like Petco on price, but they are much more expensive than the other locally owned pet shops in the area. It's just a total rip-off. When they opened the store years ago, I asked about a discount on cases of food. They replied that they don't offer case discounts because they give free delivery. Well, all the shops in the area give free delivery! I just hate being dealt with in this way. The staff are nice enough, but they know nothing about animals. When I returned something for store credit, they gave me a hard time for waiting a WEEK to bring it back, and made me feel they were doing me a huge favor to accept it. Just lousy treatment of customers all round.

I went to Petland Discounts and got my dog some boots for the winter months. They were 17.99 at Petland Discounts. The SAME EXACT package of dog boots were 49.99 at this place!!! I can't believe they have such ridiculous markups o their products! I would avoid this place

The other person who wrote a review is sooo on the mark. I just came back from the store and the raised their prices up $3 more for a bag of treats.

Shop on line and buy from the retailer if need be.

This place is such a freaking rip off
