Customer Reviews
It's great that it's a resource that exists at all, but it seems quite poorly organised.
They give such priority to letting apparently disabled clients just cut in the front of the line to the point that no people standing in the regular line who made the effort to show up early are allowed in at ALL for 30-45 minutes at a time! Today I was given a token putting me in the range of the 30-40 something people to arrive in line and it took over *5 hours* to make it to the front and inside because they just kept immediately letting waves and waves of disabled clients & new registrants ahead of everyone else. Sorry, but there are ways to organise this to still prioritise the disabled that don't outright discriminate against and mistreat everyone else. They could take an example from for instance how some of the Tafeln for humans are organised to respect people's time, nevermind what the stress of this endless waiting and crowds does to the well-being of the pets themselves who are forced to be there!
Additionally the ladies who give out accessories are quite needlessly hostile, judgemental and seem to reflexively assume the absolute worst of clients. I asked if they had a jogging leash since I am pregnant and knowing how my anxious dog likes to move around, once I give birth a regular leash could likely end up tangled around the stroller and even causing an accident if it's not attached to and able to rotate around *me*. They acted like this was some exotic and unreasonable ask for a contraption that I see throughout the city all the time, but anyway didn't have one which I of course understood. Then I saw and was excited that they had the only brand of flea and tick collar that I've tried that is *actually* effective against the critters that my dog's long fur attracts en masse in the area we live (sometimes I picked up to 30 ticks a day off him) since I am traumatised and distrustful of the kind of preventative that cannot be removed, since losing one dog to a seizure and having had one dog develop epilepsy thanks to them. First the lady tried to offer me a *calming collar* which is not a preventative at all, and when I tried to specify if I could take the specific collar that I saw in their bin, the lady with the colorful hair came back from her break and started trying to tell me that all flea & tick preventatives are the same (they are objectively not and have different active ingredients & efficacy!), and then made ignorant and wrong assumptions about my dog's size to seemingly find any arbitrary excuse to withhold the one from me that I pointed out and would have otherwise saved up to buy anyway since THEY ARE NOT ALL THE BLOODY SAME.
Lady, after standing around waiting for 5 hours I wasn't in a good mood either, but I didn't bite your head off for no reason, was not in any way the entitled unreasonable person you unfairly treated me as for first asking about something you didn't have and being totally accepting of that fact before asking for something specific that I saw you definitely had, which I have perfectly legitimate reasons for requesting which maybe you could have understood if you had bothered to engage with the slightest modicum of compassion and curiosity instead of needlessly nasty ignorant ASSumptions.
I honestly think I would rather go hungry or even beg on the street to afford my dog's food than subject myself to this treatment in the future.

Ich finde es Klasse das es solch eine Einrichtung gibt. Ist zwar sehr voll gewesen und man muss einiges an Zeit mit bringen da viele Tierliebhaber auf die Tafel angewiesen sind aber wenn die Voraussetzungen für eine Aufnahme vorhanden sind kann ich die Tiertafel nur empfehlen. Denn da werden sie geholfen.
Sehr nette Mitarbeiter , immer freundlich und nett, egal wie viel Stress. Man darf nicht vergessen das diese Mitarbeiter alles ehrenamtlich machen.
Jedenfalls bin ich superfroh das es diese Tiertafel gibt. Vielen Dank dafür.
Und auch immer schön spenden denn die Tiertafel lebt von diesen spenden.

Тафель работает на выдачу кормов для животных. Так же принимает ветеринар. Все бы не плохо,но… есть 2 больших минуса- приходится потратить весь день,что бы отстоять в очереди,т.к много людей и слишком медленное обслуживание. В холодное время года стоять до 5 часов в день,отмерзают ноги и руки,даже если хорошо одет. Еще летом 2022 раздача была 1 р. В 2 нед. Январь 2023 уже 1 р. в месяц. Но,на мой взгляд оно того стоит,так как экономия на корме примерно 50 евро и больше ,плюс дают наполнитель для туалета и если нужно,можно получить все необходимые вещи для своих питомцев(коврики,домики,посуда,игрушки,клетки,переноски,когтеточки,расчёски и много другое) Так же есть возможность получения медикаментов.
