A popular Sunnyside pet store closed today after being in business for more than 10 years.
Super Doggy Wonder Kitty, owned by sisters Judy and Tina Jung, opened on Greenpoint Avenue in 2005 but then soon moved to their 43rd Street/43rd Avenue location.
The store was best known for its dog grooming services. The small shop also sold toys, dog treats and a variety of dog and cat food products.
The store was a big supporter of the Sunnyside United Dog Society, a local dog advocacy group, according to Jeannette Remak, an active member of SUDS.
Remak said the store was featured in SUDS’ recently released book “S.U.D.S The Dogs that brought a Community together.”
“Whenever we roll around with our holiday donation box they are there to help fill it up,” read an excerpt from the book. “Their generosity helps to feed and care for dogs and cats from rescue groups all over Queens.”
In the past month, the store had been offering 50 percent of items such as food, beds and treats.
Remak said that the Jung sisters donated all the left over items to SUDS today, including food, collars and leashes. She said that SUDS will be giving those items to local animal shelters in the name of Super Doggy.
The Jung sisters could not be reached for comment.
