A traditional Family oriented pet store with lots of pets to play with. Kids love to come in and are thrilled to be able to actually hold the animals . Clean well merchandised and the animals are so well cared for. more

I love spending time in Steve's Pet store. Their are usually ferrets available for petting, and their are a couple of pen's where prospective new dog or cat owners can get acquainted with a potential new adorable pet. their is so much petting that the puppies and kittens love to get a nap when they are in their personal cage behind the glass. The kids that work in the store are very pleasant to talk to; they seem to wait for you to start the conversation as to not annoy you while you are shopping.\r \r And their is a Starbucks right next door, so after the wife and I get food for our golden, we stop next door. She loves their white-hot-chocolate. more

I have shopped at this store for all my animal supplies for over 10 years now. Even 10 years later still get a friendly HELLO from the workers every time I walk in the door!! That's Awesome!!! Always have the answers and stuff I need and if they don't, they get it for me or send me where I need to go. Puppies are well taken care of (Problably better than mine I'm a little embarassed to say). Overall Great Store, Great Pets, Great People!!! I guess it feels a little like it's my store as a member of this community. It's always here for me and I will always be here for it!!! more

I have heard that Steve gets his dogs from puppy mills. I don't know the validity of this claim -he has personally told me ""we get them from the best possible sources we can, and do a lot of research to make sure we don't use puppy mills"". I believe him, but I will say that with all of the neglected, abused and abandoned dogs in the world, I do not agree with buying a dog from ANY pet store. That said, the dog we adopted from a rescue shelter out West is the love of our life, and we understand -through a lot of reading and talking with vets and those educated on dogs- the best thing you can do for your beloved family member is give them high quality food. No table scraps, plenty of exercise, lots of love, and high quality food. \r Steve's is the ONLY place in WNY that offers an extensive variety of high quality foods and treats. The staff -and we have probably talked to every one of them at one time or another- is very knowledgable on the foods -Protein %, fat content, what foods are good for what dogs, activity levels, life-stages, etc. Dog food is a science, and if you want the answers to getting your pet the food they deserve and need, go to Steve's. Healthy food also means a LOT less in medical bills, and a calmer, happier, more well-adjusted pet: all that for about 8 bucks per month more than the foods on sale at Walmart, which give dogs diarrhea...yeah, to us it's a no brainer. I agree that the prices can be a bit high when it comes to leashes, collars, stuff like that, but Steve's carries all high quality stuff. I could care less about our dog's leash, so long as it works -but for high quality bedding, crates, etc etc, once again nothing in WNY compares to Steve's. \r We are a middle class family, who value our pets' quality of life. We don't overspend on them, but we do take their health, well-being and comfort seriously -otherwise, why even bother owning a pet? \r I recommend this store highly. I'm confident any educated consumer/pet owner would agree. And if you ever have a question no one else can answer, you can talk to Steve, in the flesh. Try doing that at Petsmart. more

Bought my little Lena from Steve's almost a year ago...and I couldn't be happier. I've heard so many negative things from people, yet can't help but think they are just perpetuating the same old rumors. None of the negative reviews I've read have ever had substantial evidence that Steve's buys from puppy mills; such as links to proof, etc... Do your own research and you'll see that Steve's is a great place to get your pet. I even had an issue after Lena was spayed (she's Chi so stresses easy) and she had some hair loss. They stood by their puppy guarantee and paid for the corresponding vet bills without any problems. Would definitely recommend Steve's and plan on getting a 2nd puppy from them soon. more

Just so you know, when you purchase a dog at a pet store, you are most likely perpetuating the continuation of puppy mills. Sure, your puppy may be healthy and live a long and happy life, but it's parents and many, many more dogs are left to suffer their entire lives living in deplorable and cruel conditions just so the puppy mill owners and the pet store owners can make a profit. You can get practically any breed of dog from a reputable small breeder or even better yet, a breed specific rescue group. Sure, you may have to wait a period of time instead of going out on a Saturday and picking up your puppy on a whim, but in the end you are doing nothing but putting money in the pockets of people who could care less about the lives of the thousands of dogs left to suffer and die in the puppy mills. Steve will say he does not get his dogs from mills, but records prove he does. When you go into his store, ask to see the records of where the puppies come from then do your research and you will find out the truth. more

NEVER EVER buy anything here. You will be contributing to the animal neglect and price inflation policy of this company. These animals are over 4 months old sitting in tiny cages. The owner and staff contribute to the ruin of animals willingly. They would rather subject a pet to deplorable conditions than place a pet in a loving home. Is $900.00 worth it to ruin a pets chance at a sucessful happy family life? We went in on a Saturday to see a puppy that was 17 weeks old and they wanted that amount for it. The price was set to go down each week the puppy stayed there by $50.00. Why would they not discount the price drastically to avoid socially crippling a defenselss animal. We were told "" we strictly hold to our pricing policy"".... what so when someone does buy the dog all it's formative training time has been stuck in a waste ridden cage the size of a shoebox. The puppy was trying to sleep with it's own fecal matter in it's face. The tiny scrap of blanket was right next to the waste so the puppy had no choice. When brought to staffs attention they did not even care, it was still about the money. This is not the place to find an animal as the staff and especially the owner clearly do not respect or cared for animals, BOYCOTT STEVE'S ""WONDERFUL"" WORLD OF PETS !!! more

Very Knowledgable Staff. Fair Selection Of Fish (including Marine). more

First off i like steves pets the kids can come in and play with the dogs. all the puppys get lots of socialization along with the other animals. I bought a shiba inu there and she is a wonderful dog. more

The store does not sell baby Chickens!!! It rents them out around easter time (To Save Unwanted Rabbits) and then has them returned after easter. The chicks are then donated to area farms where they are used as laying chickens. So they are not used as meat chickens. more

A nice hands on pet store for the little ones in your family; bunnies, gunea pigs and such. more

lots of pet products. staff seems knowledgeable. more

We buy fish here and pet toys for our friends. Always a good selection and knowledgeable staff. more

One of the few stores that carries higher quality, lesser known food brands more

Please don't contribute to Steve's pets. They purchase from puppy mills. It's very sad that so many dogs and cats are euthanized every second. These are perfectly healthy, very sweet dogs and cats. These dog stores and puppy mills contribute to the inhumane gassing shelters. Please do not purchase from a pet store like ""steve's"" or from a breeder. There are too many animals that need homes and suffer everyday.\r It's sad that they continue to tell people they don't purchase from puppy mills when they do. Of course the puppies will be taken care of. The mothers are the ones that suffer every day and night in these puppy mills. I know first hand. I rescued a dog from a puppy mill, she was kept in a wire cage her entire life, never leaving this cage. She never had a name, just a number. She had difficulty walking at first because of never leaving that wire cage. It's incredibly sad was these puppy mill mothers go through. Please dont buy from a pet store (steve's). Remember it's the mothers that suffer with poor health, nutrition, and living conditions. It doesn't matter if the puppies look good or what kind of service they give. You have to remember where they are coming from. more

This place is very close to my house, and becaus ei have many pets, it's very helpful. Pretty knowledgable staff, and wide variety of products. PRices are slightly higher than other petstores, but I'm typically very happy shopping at Steve's more

Unusually service oriented: The owner of Steve's Wonderful World of Pets is actually a guy named Steve, who happens to be very friendly... ask for him if youare buying a dog. We bought a puppy from them and they have been beyond helpful. more
