Welcome to the brave new world of alternatives in pet health care. Founded in 1988, our mission is to bring the benefits of holistic wellness concepts to the universe of companion animals through the education of pet care-givers, and to foster the research, identification and introduction of products and methods to further that aim.
If you are new to Whiskers Holistic Pet Care -- a warm welcome. If you're an old friend -- hello again and thank you supporting us all these years. When we began in 1988, there were few, if any, alternatives to traditional invasive, harsh, chemically-based animal care products or methods. We were among the early pioneers of the alternative, holistic pet care movement.
Whiskers is happy to say for the last few years, adjustments to keep you and your pets healthy and safe have been incorporated into our everyday procedures. We know how hard it is right now with shortages and out-of-stocks but Whiskers has worked hard to keep your pets food and supplies in stock. Astoria pickup orders must be placed directly with our Astoria store by calling (718) 626-8590. All Pick-up orders are processed as quickly as possible. When your order is ready, WE WILL CALL YOU and let you know your order is ready for pickup.
I am in awe of the generosity, compassion and sheer genius of Joe, Phil and the whole staff at Whiskers. I am absolutely overcome with gratitude that I found the help I needed for my baby Hades! Thank you for your dedication, knowledge & expertise. Whiskers has an excellent selection of holistic products, great staff, delivery, AND open on xmas.

The website states the Astoria store closes at 8pm. I arrived at 6:52pm today. The reason I know the exact time is because the woman at the register immediately told me as I entered the store that I had only 8 minutes to shop before her register "automatically" closes at 7pm. I shopped really quickly, but the woman kept looking at me, as if to say, hurry up.
It was so uncomfortable that I put my items back and left the store. First, their website needs to be updated to say this location closes at 7pm. Secondly, this woman needs to be trained to have better customer service skills. I refuse to spend my money in any establishment that can't have these basic needs met. Rather shop locally, but I'll be shopping online tonight. On a positive note, the store is always clean and organized.

OK so apparently Google did not update our store hours on their Google Maps page. Our 1800whiskers.com website does have our correct current store hours which are Mon-Fri. 12-7:00pm NOT 8:00PM, Sat. 11-7pm and Sun. 12-6:00pm. thank you! also there are some "reviews" regarding buying animals at Whiskers Holistic Petcare. Please note: Whiskers does not sell animals nor do we do grooming. I'm not sure where these reviews are coming from but they are fake news for sure.

Whiskers is the finest pet shop in Astoria by leaps and bounds. The staff is great, the selection is fantastic, and I live that they lean towards natural and holistic products. I feel safer shopping here. They alsi deliver if you're purchasing a heavy item. It's a good neighborhood business to support.

Through my years as a furbaby parent, Whiskers has given me countless holistic advice on keeping my cats healthy. Through them I found a holistic vet that I still use. Frozen food alternatives were available at Whiskers LONG before it became trendy. I credit them for educating me in ways that traditional vets and pet food stores are unwilling to do. And, they are a neighborhood family business!

We purchase all of our pet food and pet supplies here! The staff is the kindest, and remembers your name and what you purchase. Even when I occasionally call for deliveries they remember who I am. That type of service cannot be taught. Not to mention they offer only holistic and healthy products. I feel very lucky to live so close to such an exceptional pet shop!
