Vinnie's Bow Wow Shoppe York, Pennsylvania

DO NOT support this business or buy animals from them! My mom and I stopped in today to look at the puppies, and our hearts immediately broke when we saw what conditions they were being kept in. There were cages lined up stacked beside each other in the back room with shredded newspaper and a water bottle in each small metal cage. The puppies were trying desperately to escape the small cages they were kept in when they saw us. They wanted to be loved and cared for. Some of the puppies were trying to physically chew out of their cages to get to us. Absolutely heartbreaking that this is the way they treat their animals. It is all about profiting from these puppy mill puppies. ADOPT from a shelter!!

Do NOT buy from Vinnies! I My poor baby Nala I bought from vinnies died at 3 years of age from seizures she had her whole life. She was very sickly from the day I got her which I was not made aware of. Vinnies should NOT be in business.

We have bought 3 dogs here. Well taken care of dogs.

Vinnie's is a wonderful place if you are looking for a dog. They have a great selection, knowledgable staff and it is very clean. You can tell they really care about every pup. Their groomer is excellent too. Highly recommended!

I Need my dog 2morrow

Previously purchased our $2500 boxer from this pet shoppe with no issues back in March. We noticed that his brother still had not been bought. The price for this boxer had been dropped to $1599 since he hadn’t been adopted yet. We called twice asking for a discount on this puppy considering we have his brother. Employees told us they would contact us after talking to the owners and never did. We showed up in person to the pet shoppe and the owner happened to be there and was easily willing to sell this dog for $1100. Which clearly the employees never reported to the owners that we were interested. HOWEVER. The conditions of this pet shoppe upon our return were MISERABLE. The temperature inside the VERY SMALL building was no less than 90°. There were 30-40 dogs packed in. The entire placed stank of feces. We ended up not getting the puppy due to a dominance issue. But my heart felt so miserably for these poor dogs. The owners at this shop only care about money and not the well-being of the dogs that they are trying to profit from. They shouldn’t be allowed to be open.

It's a great place. Nice selection of puppies to chose from and the staff there were really nice and knowledgeable about the puppies which is always a plus. Will definitely be going back for my next new best friend.

I have bought two puppies from here, between the pair I spent over $6,600. Very overpriced. I had to call in an wait several months to receive the males paperwork, I had to keep calling in to check to see if they got then. I kept getting one excuse after another

I bought my baby Bella there. Good customer service!

It's a great place to buy a new family member

I love this place very nice and organized and they had the puppies in a great conditions

Small place but with a lof of dog love

16 years ago my wife and I brought our special little girl Daisy home from Vinnie's. She was a great little addition to the family. She very recently passed away, but we'll always remember and appreciate how friendly and knowledgeable the staff at Vinnie's was.

Was in too look for a boxer this morning...two young ladies at the counter...heads down...did not acknowledge us. We said hello. One eating, the other nothing. No hello? No... Can we help you with something? We walked around...nothing...as we left...3 young ladies congregated...nothing?!?!

Great place to find your little one.

Nice staff, care for the animals well and it shows. Just thought prices were a little high

The staff I met on 3 occasions during the last 7 months were nice and friendly. The young woman with the tattoos (sorry I don't remember the name) is very knowledgeable and good with customers. That's the only reason for the 2 stars. Most of the dogs here are mutts. Nothing wrong with that, some of the best dogs are mutts or mixed breeds. The issue is the prices being charged. Some of the mixed names are just made up, and this store is charging prices like the pups are some kind of valuable designer dogs. They are not. My neighbor wanted a yellow lab, this store wants 2 thousand and up. Local breeders are now in 2021 charging half that for pure yellow labs with both parent dogs onsite. They purchased 2 beautiful labs for $1100 each. I wanted a Border Collie after losing my Collie last summer. Vinnies had some mixed borders last September 2020, they wanted $1100. I offered $800. They countered with $900. Before the pandemic a pure border sold for $550. Vinnies is taking advantage of the current health crisis. I went back 2 weeks later and they still had 3 of 4 of those border mixed pups, they were 14 weeks old and all available for $900. I figured I'd wait until the price gouging declined. Many sellers were/are gouging, not just Vinnies. I went back to Vinnies at the end of February 2021. No Border Collie pups available. They said to check back soon. Sure enough they got some in. . . $1699.00 each! I had no intention of going back there. Now quality breeders are offering Border Collies for much more reasonable prices. I found plenty for under $800. I purchased my new Border from a farmer, he had both parent dogs there for me to see, touch and play with. The farmer raises these and trains them to work and compete at herding. I paid $600. All the dogs at Vinnies, listed on their website tonight, are way overpriced. That's what prompted me to write my experience here. I don't do reviews on Google and I take no pleasure in writing a bad review about a local small business, but the prices here are crazy. You can do better... ask my new pup.

My best friend, a pug mix, came from Vinnies about three years ago. She has brought so much joy to our lives over the past several years, and I am so glad we added her to our family. She was (and still is) in great health! The owner of the shop spent a great deal of time explaining to my kids and I how to care for our new puppy. I am so thankful for Vinnies!

Thank You Vinnies Bow Wow for the best Pomsky in the world???? Everest and i love the shoppe and recommend them to anyone puppy shopping ????

We went in to take my baby girl for grooming and the groomer took our pup and we wanted to look at pups they looked at us and I asked if we could look at puppies and the lady at the desk said no she was so rude and the guy said something to the girl about us looking broke and honestly they treat the puppies like hamsters putting water in a hamster waterer and they looked all sad there were 2 or 3 in tight small cages on the wall and a bunch of others in baby gates they were really rude to us never will we try to buy a puppy from there again I always say adopt don’t shop!! All we wanted was to buy a puppy and add another baby to our family EMPLOYEES ARE RUDE!

Drove 45 minutes to look at a collie that they had for 799 he is 4 months old he was scared every time the staff went to pick him up he cowered down to them they spray the dogs with a spray bottle to get them to stop this place is a joke they need to be shut down point blank

Got our fur baby today. He's sweet and the people there are so helpful and nice. Decent prices.

This place was awesome I found the new love of my life there

Wonderful place. We payed alot of money for our Yorkie here. It was one of the most expensive place around. However it seemed as if they really had taken care of the puppies and that's always number 1 and important to find. We have had no trouble making our monthly payments. No trouble with our Yorkie. We are just happy to have such an amazing little puppy. We will and have recommended this shop to others.

First let me say these puppies were adorable. The prices were what I would expect to pay a breeder for accredited registered puppies. These were not. The ages stated were questionable to me. I am no expert so I could be wrong but they appeared to be much younger than stated. Like I said I could be wrong. The smallest puppies were on the bare floor. No towels or blankets or toys. Just each other unless one was being held then the other was alone. The young girls caring for them appeared to comfort them as able but a simple blanket and maybe a soft toy would have been nice to see. They looked to be in good health but were terrified and shaking in the corners if the playpens on the cold floor. We did consider a purchase but decided to get a pup elsewhere.

Found a wonderful addition to our family!!! Thank you Christian for all of your help with getting Dexter into his fur-ever home with us!!

THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the process. We came into this skeptical,and left with two additions to the family! They had all the records of their checkup with their Dr and what we should feed them,and about their care for the first year or so because they're puppies. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a fur-baby to stop in and talk to the staff because like I said they're amazing at what they do.

This place is very sad. There were at least 30 puppies in dirty cages in a very small area. The place smelled when you walked in and the pups had no toys or blankets, just dirty newspapers that are shredded by the staff so you can't see all the poop. The prices averaged about $1500 per pup but some were not even AKC registered. Staff were nice but we promptly left and contacted the AKC for breeder referrals.

I got my Jug there he is well taken care off

A little pricey but love my baby doll
