First Ave Pet Shop Inc.

Pet supply stores keep Upper East Side residents stocked with everything from kibble to collapsible bowls. First Ave Pet Shop Inc. fits neatly into this essential category, offering a selection of food, treats, toys, and accessories for dogs, cats, and smaller companions. The store also carries grooming supplies, leashes, carriers, and seasonal items like raincoats or booties—practical basics for city pets who navigate sidewalks and subway grates daily.

You’ll find it at 1371 1st Ave, New York, NY 10021, a stretch where pre-war buildings alternate with newer storefronts. The neighborhood draws a steady flow of dog walkers and apartment dwellers with limited storage, making compact, high-quality supplies a priority. While the area leans residential, the nearby commercial corridor ensures easy access without the tourist crowds that gather farther west.

Call (646) 448-4047 to confirm availability before swinging by with a shopping list. Directions and current hours are posted on the map. First Ave’s sidewalks hum with the usual mix of school kids, commuters, and the occasional celebrity walking a rescue pup—proof that even in a city of eight million, pets still claim their share of the pavement.
