Mike and his crew at the Animal House are loving caring awesome people I got a mixed Shepherd Chow almost 17 years ago and he was the best loving companion they already had him semi-trained ! They're very caring loving people I recommend them highly . If I get another dog I most likely would go through the Animal House . read more

I never feel the need to leave reviews on businesses unless the experience is either exceptional or terrible and today it was TERRIBLE. Immediately coming in we were ignored , not greeted & simply asked what we were looking for. No problems there if you want to get straight to the point . Upon seeing the beagles I asked how much they were and she said $800. She then proceeded to ask where I live as in apartment, town home or home and I said the puppy was for my mother ( for her birthday) and she lived in a town home. Let me add my moms house has a big yard in the back , and plenty of great walking trails nearby. She then tells me well no you can't purchase the animal, they are a " barky, loud" breed and can't live next to other people if it's not in a home. I have NEVER in my life heard anyone create a random rule that you can't purchase a breed because it barks ...ALL DOGS BARK , especially puppies like wtf and i mentioned she lives in a town home, as well as her neighbors having a dog. Her attitude wasn't pleasant at all and I feel like she just didn't want to sell us a dog. Even if I lived in a home, next door neighbors can still hear a dog barking wether it's inside or out. She was just quick to dismiss and shut us down. The puppies are overpriced and the customer service is TRASH. I pray they get a new owner some day, I've never liked that lady anyways. read more

Animal House is part rescue, part consignment, part pet store. They take in owner surrender pets based on space available. When they are contacted about taking in puppies for consignment, Mike (the owner,) personally picks the puppies up. This is to ensure that they are not puppy mill puppies. I have been really impressed with the people at Animal House. During our first visit we never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. They want the animals to find forever homes, even if that means people taking extra time to find the perfect companion. Even when they were assisting customers they were taking care of the animals. We have made other trips back, and they ask how our puppy is, and stop to look at pictures. Kathy, (the owner's wife) is very attentive to the animals. All the employees we have encountered have been. They have honored everything they said they would. Pet food and supplies are displayed from floor to ceiling. They make use of all available space. Prices are reasonable. Purchase a puppy from them, and you receive 20% off supplies for the life of your puppy. Looking to stop in? Make sure to look for the big blue house. Limited parking is available in back. read more

A coworker recommended The Animal House when I was in search of a kitten. I never heard of this place before but I decided to check them out a few weeks later. I went in and told them I was looking for a kitten. They said they had older cats. I found a little black cat...not a kitten but not an adult yet. I instantly fell in love! They said she was recovering from a UTI. It was ok because we were willing to take care of her no matter what. They have a huge selection of dogs and cats along with pet supplies and accessories. I would recommend this place to anyone in search of a pet :) read more

We love our boxer rescue from Animal House. She is sweet, tender and playful.

We have adopted 3 pets from this place (1 Dog and 2 Cats) you can tell the owners and staff here REALLY care about the animals. they do very good work here. I've recommended them to many friends and colleagues in which they were happy with the health of the pet they adopted and the shelter itself. My mom is currently looking to get a dog.. so we might have to stop in here this weekend. read more

Absolutely terrible experience. My grandmother has been going in for over a year to find her a dog she had a connection with. She finally found the one, and within the same day somebody beat her to put a deposit on it. So we decided to get the other dog and went to go get the money. They took our number and told us we had until 5:30. They didn't bother to call us, and by the time that we got a phone charged up and money in hand, it was 5:50. We called and they said oh we are selling the dog to somebody else right now. Didn't bother to call us, and within 20 minutes completely screwed us. Money hungry as can be, they don't care about their customers and have greed over the ideal of putting a dog in a loving member's arms. My grandmother is getting older and it's the only thing she's wanted since she lost her dog. I can not believe the audacity of this "company." 20 minutes after and in the middle of selling it, hadn't sold it yet, could have stopped it. And said oh too bad. Absolutely ridiculous, never received a call from them. I won't ever be recommending this place again, nor showing up to give any sort of money to them at all. The people who run it care nothing about the people that come into the store and are loyal customers. Terrible services, don't waste your time or money, they'll screw you one way or another. read more

Extremely rude owner gave us no assistance and treated us as if we were bothering her and continuously ignored our presence then made sly remarks. She greeted and was nice to a few select people even though me and my family was there first then as we asked her questions she said we should go do research instead of assisting us with the animals. instead of getting a dog me and my family felt so unwelcome, we left. very rude and would not recommend this place unless you'd like horrible service. read more

I love this place. Their words and actions show that they truly care about the dogs more than making money. My sweet pup has a very common umbilical hernia and yes they covered the cost of getting it fixed!! Do not go anywhere else but the Animal House to get a new furry buddy. read more

When you walk in you are immediately hit with the stench of animal feces and urine. If you dare ask about the smell, the owner will get an attitude and say "that's typical animal smell" and roll her eyes at you. Furthermore, the caged animals are over crowded and not properly kept. Their puppies smell as well, and not just the puppy smell, their often dingy looking and oh so full of anxiety! These puppy come from puppy mills, when confronted the owner gets defensive and says "private breeder" which is the known code for puppy mills. If you really look through their reviews/comments on Facebook/Instagram you will find comments/questions about the puppies customers have adopted. Their "private breeders" have been known to produce puppies with health issues. Often the puppies are mutts, mislabeled for breed, and have health issues. Puppies have even died after being adopted, but they refunded the money so it wouldn't go public. Go in there yourself and see. It's disgusting and they should be shut down! read more

Such an amazing and friendly place. This place has been around since I was little growing up in MTH. They are nothing but honest, friendly, and so genuine. If I ever get a second dog, it will have to be from them. They have animals of all kinds at extremely reasonable prices. I got my Shorkie (love of my life) from them back in March of 2011 and the she goes there every 2 months for grooming. Kathy gave out a lot of great vet advice when I first got her and she came home with me already having a few of her shots. They have smaller dogs and bigger dogs of all kinds and they do not buy from puppy mills. There groomer is excellent, and I will never take my dog to another groomer either. I love the staff and all of the love that comes from this place. Hands down the best pet shop in the Cincinnati area! read more

Very friendly place with a good selection of dogs to choose from & they are well cared for!
