About Disco Paws

Disco Paws runs two Astoria locations, and this is the one on Ditmars Boulevard, at the far end of the neighborhood near the Ditmars Boulevard station. The business describes itself, cheerfully, as "funky, friendly and fabulous" pet care serving Astoria and the surrounding areas.

What is offered

Four services are published together on every page: daycare, boarding, grooming and dog training, each with its own page in the navigation. There is also a pick-up and drop-off service, which is the difference between a training or daycare booking being practical and impractical for an Astoria household working in Manhattan.

Training, stated plainly

Dog Training has its own entry in the service menu, and the business's summary of itself lists "comprehensive services: daycare, grooming, boarding, and training." An owner should call and ask what the training looks like before booking it.

The daycare and the room

Socialization is the stated point of the daycare: a fun, safe and stimulating environment where dogs play with each other, with staff described as experienced in pet care and handling and giving personalized attention to each dog. Treats and toys are sold on site. The business keeps a blog and a client login for bookings.

Two locations

The second Disco Paws is on Steinway Street, roughly a mile south, with its own phone number and its own review history. Both carry the same service set, so an owner can pick whichever is the shorter walk.

Who it suits

An Astoria household that wants daycare or boarding close to home with grooming and training available in the same place, rather than a household whose primary need is behavior work.
