Fussy Friends Pet Supply

The first time I went into Fussy Friends I was surprised by the selection of cat food, and am happy they have Call of the Wild for my kitties — and the prices are very good! I used to pay about $ 23 per bag of food (13 oz) and the price here was $ 13. My first visit I asked if they carry cat nail covers (to prevent furniture scratching) and the woman looked at me as if I had two heads. The 2^nd visit was much different and was treated very differently.

Great store, super friendly staff! Always nice to my huge white fluffy dog and has a bunch of treats that she loves.

Best pet store in Jersey City! Who wouldn’t like a local pet store that supports adoption instead of selling breed? So happy that there’s a local place where I can get everything I need for my babies and knowing that I’m supporting a place that makes good deeds to others, by giving them the chance of being adopted in a more welcomed and happy place. They deserve more than 5 stars!

They don’t sell pets, which I sadly need to mention since I’m in the NY metro area. It’s what I’d expect from any mom and pop shop — a general selection of greenwashed pet food and overpriced pet toys made in China. Basically what’d you’d find in a chain pet store, but at least you’re supporting a mom & pop business instead.
A bonus star for hosting cat adoption events on a regular basis.

This is the best pet store I’ve been to and shows how much better it is to support your local spot instead of just going to the chain, or at the very least adding a local spot into your repertoire occasionally. We can’t have great neighborhoods without great businesses and this is one great pet store.

I hate to give this place a lower rating but yesterday I bought Greenies pill pockets for my cat and they were $ 9! I realize this place is a locally owned shop so they need to hike up their prices a bit to stay in business, but what they charged me is over half of what I normally pay everywhere else (about $ 4). I was so shocked by the high price that the store clerk went to double check it was correct. It was. $ 9 for 45 pill pockets that cost around $ 4 everywhere else. I bought them anyway, my kitty needed them for her medication. But I won’t be going back, at least not for that item.
I do want to say that while I think they charge too much for their products, it is a cute store, conveniently located, quality products, nice staff and they do good for the local community and local animal rescues. I also like stopping in to see their resident kitties.

The staff is always very helpful and polite! Me and my wife come here often for both of are cats. They have everything your pet could possible need, they even have pet adaptions on Sunday’s from local rescue facility’s. The staff has a great deal of knowledge with all there products that are sold there, which is very important. Great place and if your ever in the Downtown Jersey city area stop in you won’t regret it.

Such a friendly staff and they all care so much about fur babies! They offer a large selection of food, toys and supplies for both cats and dogs, and they host cat and kitten adoptions on Sundays! What’s not to love? Yes a little pricier than a large pet store chain, but it is a great (and convenient) addition to the neighborhood and it’s great to shop small.

Take a hole in the wall shop, add –0– improvements, hang a hand painted sign over the door and what do you get? Usually, not much but there’s something mich deeper going on here.
They host kittie adoptions each weekend and keep a running tally in the window of just how many furry friends have landed in new homes. Gotta scratch your head and ask, «why doesn’t every pet food shop on the planet do the exact same thing?»
The folks behind the counter are always super friendly, happy to help you in any way, make suggestions or leave you alone.
The selection of food options is expansive in both brand and price point.
Are the scarves draped over the ceiling, fluorescent, light tubes a little weird? You betcha. Are the vinyl tiles on the floor in shambles? Check! Does it smell a little off? Yup, that too. But there’s so much to value as far as the store being a pillar of good will that you kinda find yourself returning to them for all of your pet related purchases. I appreciate this level of community activism and will gladly give my $$ to the, rather than a discounted, big box retailer.

The staff here is the friendliest and most knowledgeable around. They love all animals and actively seek homes for city strays. Great selection of food, toys and love. A neighborhood gem!

They always have what we need when we go in here, and if they don’t, they’ll order it for us! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they ask for our Bella by name! Definitely a great place to shop!

I do a lot of local rescue work and I love this place. Not only do they have a ton of options, but they also do rescue work and have resident cats who are looking for their forever homes. Don’t beleive any negative reviews about cats and dogs fighting or bad customer service. This place is a clean, stocked pet store with friendly people and a few adorable cats looking for homes. The ppl who work here are always willing to help with questions and point you in the right direction. A gem for Jersey City! A+

Don’t listen to recent reviews saying Fussy Friends isn’t dog friendly — it sounds like someone has an ax to grind. They are very dog friendly! I love shopping for my cat there and have gone in many times with my friend’s dog and had nothing but great experiences.
The only issue I’ve ever had at Fussy Friends is with irresponsible and rude dog owners who let their dogs run around the store, chase the cats, knock things over and bang into customers. If you’re walking into any store with your pet you should keep your animal on a tight leash.
The staff are very animal friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! The owner, Omar, loves animals and is generous and kind! They’ve rescued and helped with almost 200 cat adoptions too. I can’t recommend highly enough!

Can I just reiterate how much I appreciate having a pet store like Fussy Friends in Jersey City? I’ve recently had to make some major changes to my cat’s diet and Kayt has been incredible at helping me find something for my elderly feline. Outstanding service like this does not go unnoticed. Not only do I have a happier, healthier feline, but I never feel bad asking a million (possibly redundant) questions and always getting a patient, thorough answer. 5 stars!

Friendly, knowledgeable, hardworking staff loves animals and holds customers in high regard. Wide selection of toys, food, and treats. Hosts weekly cat adoptions on premises. Thanks for the advice!

Fussy friends is a great local pet store. They have all of the items I need and they deliver, which is great for heavy items like cat litter. The staff is very friendly and they recognize return customers. I like that they have adoptable cats in their store. I hope locals continue to support this store, so that it never goes away.

This place is my jam.
I go here loyally for all my kitty needs and not only do they always have what i need and provide me great service, but they have the sweetest kitties running around the store charming the guests.
Best pet store in JC, far and away.

Absolutely love this place! We adopted a cat a few weeks ago and had been buying fancy feast because that’s what the rescue org was feeding our girl — but we spoke with one of the staff members here and he gave us a free can of a healthier brand to try out, which was really really nice. Obviously we are now feeding much better healthy options but they know their stuff and truly care about animals! They also have toys, carriers, scratching posts, doggie apparel and cat adoptions on Sundays. It’s a really great store!

This place is fantastic. Omar is great and my cat and I will forever owe him for helping with her major digestive issues that 3 vets could do nothing for. I thought I was doing my cat a favor by feeding her expensive Science Diet cat food that my vet recommended. Omar recommended this more natural dry cat food, that is actually much less expensive than Science Diet. He told me I could bring it back if she didn’t eat it. My cat is extremely picky, yet she loved it! Who knew that I had been paying much more for corn/​wheat blend, which isn’t even good for cats!
I went back and decided to get more ‘free advice’ and Omar convinced me to try adding a little canned soft food to her diet and this as well as the dry food has actually changed her life!
Love this local business!

Friendly staff, very knowledgeable. My feline is just as the store’s title says, fussy. This place has a great selection, all seemingly to be premium products. Prices were reasonable for hard to find products. If the mascot, Nelson, is any indication of quality, then this store shines. No returns FYI, only exchanges. I will be returning soon.
