From the moment Harry walks in, his tail is wagging with excitement. He's always greeted with love and kindness, and we know he's in the best hands. The entire team is incredible--attentive, warm, and truly devoted to the dogs they care for. The whole staff treat Harry like family, making sure he gets extra snuggles, playtime, and attention. It gives us such peace of mind to know he's happy, safe, and genuinely loved while we're away. Thank you, Hounds Town Hicksville, for being Harry's second home and for always going the extra mile! We're so grateful for all that you do.

Im going to join the bandwagon by stating how rude and unprofessional the staff was. With the…read moreexception of one female. Her enthusisam made up for her total lack of knowledge of animals. We were looking at a 4-1/2 month old Huskimo. I understand you have operating costs, but they were completely inflexible with the price, not even willing to budge $100 for a $2800 dog. But its kind of hard to say No to your daughter when she instantly fell in love with this girl. They sold us and Im 100% positive they did so with the knowledge of how sick this dog was. The 1 month of Vet care they give you does nothing when it still cost us $1000's of dollars after that 1 month ran out. Our poor Stella was and still is teeming with 3 different parasites. She also has a high level of protein in her urine and we were told its crystalizing. The worst is the Giardia. This dog absolutally refuses to defecate outside. And when she poops inside she starts eating it as shes pooping making it next to impossible to get rid of these parasites. We have tried several different meds including super drugs made by a compounding pharmacy. All efforts provided us with no positive results. As I said... this dog was $2800 and out out of pocket vet expenses above and beyond the first months free vet care is now pushing the cost of her. You also have a VERY limited number of Vets you can take them to during the first month. When we were doing the paperwork, they gave no impression that the extras they were giving us were going to cost. We figured since no one said anything that it was included in the cost of the puppy. The only thing they sold us of any value (as told to us by their vet and ours) was the kibble. Everything else was unnecessary, and a complete money grab on their end. That cost us another $600. They refused to provide us with any information about the Dame and Sire only saying they were Huskimos. Its been 2-1/2 months since we got Stella. We have her in training with a professional canine company. But she's still is sick with non stop diarrhea. Which as I stated earlier, she will only go in the house. 9 times out of 10 she misses the wee wee pad. She also walks in a squating position while pooping leaving a trail everywhere! Shake a Paw states, No refunds, but we will give you a store credit. Why in the hell would I want another diseased animal from you? And what kind of an A-hole returns a pet. In for a penny, in for a pound. I sincerely hope that people see this review prior to making the decision to buy any animal from them.

I called around 11 and they said they had the results but we are waiting for a doctor to call because they are busy. Called again before closing because it was a Friday and my cat was still very sick. No answer. A different vet called me at 5pm and told me his results were awful and that it was urgent that I get him to a hospital immediately. They had the results all morning and let my cat lay around sick all day. Just shows that they are so quick to take your money and run tests but don't actually care for your pets at all. We took him to a hospital immediately and his white blood cell and glucose levels were really bad. Vet called me 5 days later saying he was checking up on my cat because his levels were bad. They don't actually care about your pets, they just want their money and that's it.
