Canine Corral

On 11 Dec 10, we purchased a three-month old puppy from Canine Corral in Huntington Station, NY. The next day, we took him to our vet for a checkup. The vet told us that he had giardia parasites so we had to use a special type of dog food and two daily medications. We went back on 20 Dec 10 and he still had the parasite. We had to repeat another round of medicines and special food. On 7 Jan 11, we are still experiencing the same thing.

It has already cost us $400+ in vet bills and it's only been a month. It looks like it's going to be a long and costly road before this parasite is finally gone. Besides the cost of the dog on that day in December, the Canine Corral sold us a couple of hundred dollars worth of vitamins and food that they said would be wise to use for a healthy life.

Our vet said it was all a waste of money. This parasite is passed from canine to canine. Any other puppy that was in with ours is probably going through the same thing. I would hope to believe that all these puppies were fecal tested. Canine Corral should have known that he had this condition. I am very disappointed in this facility.

I recently had been on the search for a place to purchase the new family pet. I had a couple friends telling me to adopt, but I couldn't seem to find a family friendly dog at the "pound." I had some other friends who had purchased their pups from Canine Corral and were overwhelmingly pleased with the result. So my family and I, after visiting many places went to Canine Corral. The place was very clean, abnormally clean for a pet store. The salesperson was extremely professional and more importantly very knowledgeable and caring. He was intent on finding the right fit for our family.

One of my daughters has asthma, so we did need a dog that did not cause allergies. He brought over three puppies that would fit our criteria. A poosh, which is a poodle/shihtzu, a cockapoo, which is a cockerspaniel and a poodle, and a purebred Havanese. We played with all the puppies in a "playroom" which had all kinds of toys for the kids and dogs to play with. After Careful Consideration, we decided Canine Corral, was the place to purchase our new puppy, and we decided on the poosh! This is the smartest dog around!

Now with regards to price. We had been to several pet stores and while it wasn't as inexpensive as the pound, our new pup was significantly less than other stores in the area. They included a lot of great things with the puppy to help offset the cost as well.

For us, it was definitely a good deal because they gave us a training course included with the puppy. We spent almost two hours with one of their trainers who was teaching us how to housebreak the new dog. Not only that, but we have additional free sessions that will cover come, sit, stay etc. etc. plus they included other great things as well, like free vet care, the microchip, and a 5 year health warranty. That really impressed us, as we didn't see that anywhere else.

Well, I think it is obvious that we would recommend this place to anyone in our inner circle, or just anyone that we meet along the way. The staff was great, our pup is great, and when we go away over the summer they are going to board our pup for us as well. Thanks to Canine Corral for a two thumbs up experience!

I just wanted to post here that I went all the way from Jersey to the Canine Corral, and could not have left happier. They truly have the best looking dogs and they offered me a tremendous amount of stuff included with the dog. I really couldn't believe it, and the prices were lower too! I got a boxer from there and would tell all my friends that its worth the travel.

Best Puppies on Long Island. I would never consider buying a puppy elsewhere! Ask for Dan, he is the man!

I want to thank Ira and Canine Corral for 46 years of pure excellence. I was 11 years old when my family went to the Canine Corral and bought our first German Shepherd from Ira's father. I had the choice of names, being the oldest of three, and I chose Zeuss. We were told Zeuss was going to be an excellent family dog. Back then, we didn't know much about the German Shepherd, but it looked like a very large breed, and my parents at the time were worried about how the breed would be for us. Well, let me tell you that Zeuss was so good with me and my brother's that we decided to get another friend for him at Canine Corral. It was 1968 and this time we got a Lady named Aphrodites (Aphro) was such a sweet nurturing, loving, caring, and highly intelligent. Her and Zeuss got along so well and really played like littermates for the next 7 years. Zeuss was 12 when he passed. He gave us so much joy, and more importantly bonded and just seemed to fit with Aphro so well. We had a tough time with his passing, and so did Aphro.

So in 1975 my parents Purchased another male from Canine Corral named Ares. He ended up being enormous. But again, he was so soft and gentle, and definitely a protector of Aphro. He really grew up to love her and bond with her more than anyone. She looked over him as well like a child. They played together, and had full run of the large property that my parents had. When Aphro died my parents decided that they wanted to get a significantly smaller pup due to their own aging. They ended up with the most georgeous australian shepherd that was chocolate and tan. This "herding" dog was super super smart and meshed very well with protector Ares.

Well he came to our house several times for "training sessions," and we brought the dogs to the store several times as well, and let me tell you that when the baby was born and started to crawl we could have the dogs around her and they would just lick her. They would sit, stay, and come all on command, not to mention while protecting the househould as well with their large appearence's. We have since sent dozens of people to the Canine Corral who have brought home amazing pups, and we ourselves, and now my children have purchased several dogs from Canine Corral. Ira has now passed the torch onto his daughter and team over at Canine Corral.

My point about this store is that they give you the overall family experience. They care about their dogs, and care about finding the right breed for your family. Thank you again Ira you are amazing and your dogs are amazing and we will continue to send everyone we know to your store! In addition they do grooming and pet boarding as well, which has helped us tremendously! Please do check out this store!

Given the unethical treatment I received by dealing with this store I would never recommend them to anyone looking to buy a pet or pet supplies. I paid $800 for a dog which they took back. I wasted my time with them, beside the stress they put me through.

I went to Canine Corral to buy a puppy for the mere fact that they seemed to offer so much more for the money, and the fact that they assure you the dogs are from reputable breeders and you get all the paperwork with the dog/cat you buy. After I brought my puppy home I noticed the dog seemed to be sick. I rushed the dog to the animal hospital and they said she had Kennell cough. I took care of the cough and it seemed to get worse since it was not treated prior to me bringing the dog home. I again went to the animal hospital and the puppy was very sick. Canine Corral seemed to be very nice and understanding at first. They insisted that I would get a better deal at thier vet, not telling me this vet was a holistic vet, which I do not believe in! this guy makes meds for animals in his basement! Soon after this I had to pay $600 out of pocket and thier insurance did cover most of the costs and I was told I would get the noncovered item back from canine corral which I still have not gotten 9 months later. The puppy was fine for awhile and just recently got very very sick again out of nowhere! I go to a very good vet who asked me to see if canine corral could look into my puppies parents to see if they had any issues and they wouldn't give me any info and assured again the dog came from a reputable breeder. My vet did not think so, either did I. So I did my own research from the paperwork they gave me. I contacted the Humane Society about this breeder who had a litter number based in NY. Well what I had come to find was very contrary! the so called "reputable breeder" was a puppy mill in MO with code violations like you wouldn't believe! The animals were so matted they couldn't see, the food had ants infested in it, they were in cages that were damage and harmful to them, some animals had medical problems and didn't get any medical attention, they were outside without the proper climate and care, I could go on all day! I am so upset about this! How could people who love animals do something like this! I love my dog and she sick and I need help. My dog has been in the hospital and they could care less about it. I would not recommend anyone ever buy an animal from them! It brings me to tears that my poor baby has to go through so much and they could care less to help her. My first call to the manager of the store was short and she blamed it on the squrrels (my dog is a house dog), as per my vet this is not something that happened in the area I lived. She said she would call me back and I never got a call back. After I found out she came from a puppy mill I called the manager again explaning all I found out and never got a call back.

Canine Corral is the best pet store I have ever been to. The salespeople were really attentive to our family needs, which is something that we definitely needed. They helped us determine which breed was the right one for us. We needed something that did not shed as my mother in law has severe allergies to dogs. They directed us towards a Havanese. Two weeks later, the dog is already pee pad trained. You guys are the best! Thanks

THANKS TO CANINE CORRAL DAN AND ALLEN FOR A TWO THUMBS UP EXPERIENCE!!

My wife and I bought a 12-week old Boxer from them about 1 1/2 yrs ago and have had no health problems with her at all. My son bought a golden 13 yrs ago and also had no health problems with their dog. The only problem I had with them was when it was time to pay for and take the dog, they sold all of these vitamins and supplements and was told that we had to buy these for the guarantee to be valid. I spent about $140 on all of these vitamins and supplements and I think that they were all a bunch of garbage.

I and three other friends have all purchased dogs from this facility with negative outcomes. Two dogs had kennel cough so severe that it turned into pneumonia practically overnight, worms, a genetic condition and I can keep on going. I would not recommend them! Thousands upon thousands in veterinary bills!

I come to Canine Corral after my sons karate lessons. They always let us play with the dogs even when we arent ready to purchase. We have been doing this for 3 years. I told my son if he gets his brown belt we get him a puppy as a reward. When my son got his brown belt he said papa we have to go to the dog store to get a dog. Well, it has been 5 months, since we brought our dog home and we love him! He really changed our lives! Thank you to everyone at canine corral for their help and their patience!!

In November of 2008, I bought a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from Canine Corral. Unfortunately, I developed severe allergies to the dog, which necessitated me taking the dog back after 4 days. However, the store took the dog back and offered me a store credit for another dog. Interestingly, when I was shopping for the dog, they offered me the option of taking the dog home for a few days to see how things are. One of the papers I signed stated that they have no return policy, except if the dog is sick.

Before you buy a puppy the sales people in the store are extremely nice, but if you have any problems with the puppy you bought, you will get the rudest treatment you have ever experienced in your life. Now, I am trying to sale the store credit for 1/2 of my purchase price on the Craigslist. I have a store credit with no use for it, at this I can't have any dog in my house.

Canine Corral is DA Bomb! I couldn't afford no puppies elsewhere but one of my homegirls told me about Canine Corral and they made it happen for me!!

This is a funny story. My family and I (I have 4 younger brothers and sisters so there is 7 of us total in the family) We were debating on getting a puppy or a plasma screen tv. I wanted a puppy and so did all my brother and sisters. My mother wanted whatever made us happy but my father was certain that he wanted the plasma tv. After doing our research, to get a healthy puppy from a reputable store the average cost of a puppy was $1200 which is about the same price as the plasma tv.

So I found Canine Corral online and fell in love with their puppies and thought they were the perfect shop for our family to visit. Our first visit to the pet store was amazing. The guy that helped us was so nice and helpful. He was very patient with us and recommended the puppies that would be best for our family. The store is very clean and the puppies all look happy and healthy. One was cuter than the next. My father asked a lot of questions. We had a family meeting outside the store and the next minute we were in the store picking out collars for our new puppy! Our morkie puppy! Candy! is so cute and she is so sweet like candy! My father did a complete turn around in the store, he let us get a princess bed for her and clothes, I am so happy and we love our new puppy. At the pet store they covered instructions on how to take care of her and train her so we are all going to do this as a family. Nobody in the family even cares that we didn?t get a plasma tv, the puppy loves us so much and the tv wasn't going to do that! Thanks to the most amazing pet store in the world! Canine Corral.

I need to share with all the wonderful experience I had doing business with Canine Corral and Ira. My wife grew up in New York and got her firt maltese puppy from Canine Corral. When we met and then married I too loved this little one. Everyone always raved about how beautiful she was and looked like a show dog. She was just a great, and very healthy pet.( I enjoyed not having any vet bills). She lived to age 15 and we were heartbroken to loose her. We were petless for 5 years feeling she could not be replaced. Well (after talking with Ira and telling him my plans) in June of last year I flew to New York. Ira had 8 maltese puppies for me to choose from, It was hard to choose. Now she is a year old, healthy, soooo cute and trained really easily. I call Canine corral my happy place. Thanks

The guy, Dan that helped us was so nice and helpful. He was very patient with us and recommended the puppies that would be best for our family. The store is very clean and the puppies all look happy and healthy. One was cuter than the next. My father asked a lot of questions about each breed, and they wowed us with all their health guarantees.

We had a family meeting outside the store and the next minute we were in the store picking out leashes and collars for our new puppy! Our morkie puppy, Candy, is so cute and she is so sweet, just like candy!

The puppy loves us so much, and we couldn't love the puppy any more than we do. The tv certainly wasn't going to do that! Thanks to the most amazing pet store in the world, CANINE CORRAL!!!

I recently bought a Boston Terrier from Canine Corral. I am very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend them to anyone. One thing that I really liked was their extended health warranties, I checked with many private breeders and was unable to locate any who would warranty their puppies for longer than 30 days, if that. My dog came with a standard 90 day health warranty, and they also gave me a 5 year health warranty included!

The place was clean, the dogs were all well socialized and played with. They had nice cribs for the dogs, and no cages!! The staff knows what they are talking about and they give you lots of training tips also, which was definitely helpful for me. So one dog down, now my girlfriend gets next choice. We will be back. Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

In my adult life I have had 5 dogs, 2 from breeders and 3 from pet stores. I have not found that buying from a breeder was any better than buying from a pet store. It is my opinion that the biggest problem people have when purchasing a dog is that their expectations are unrealistic. I think many people expect their dog to be like the ones they see on television commercials, and when they find out this isn't how it is, they are at a loss.

A dog requires a tremendous amount of time and effort, particularly a puppy. Ira and his staff have gone out of their way to help me with the training and assimilation of this puppy into my home.

Of the 5 dogs I have had this one is by far the brightest, most affectionate, and most problem-free. I would recommend Canine Corral to anyone who is serious about wanting a puppy.

My family already has two cockapoo's from Canine Corral. My kids are now grown up and out of the house away at College. My wife had been on my case to get another one, as the two we have are aging, and she felt a little void around the house. We went in, and as I knew she would, she fell in love with a beautiful black cockapoo. We now have the new pup at home, and are finding that the other two are training the new one. We couldn't be happier, and wouldn't purchase anywhere else. Thanks to everyone there for all the help and support. A special thanks to Karen for all the advice on bringing a new puppy into our crowded house!!

On a reccomendation from a friend, I went to Canine Corral when our family was ready to get another dog after our beloved cocker spaniel, Sandy, passed away. I had never been to a puppy store before and was anxious about what to choose, what questions to ask, etc... it had been so long since we had a PUPPY! Anyhoo, the girls there were great about answering my questions and helped me select a dog that would be perfect for my family (we got a Springer Spaniel). Buddy has been a part of our family for 4 years now, and we are so grateful to everyone at Canine Corral for helping us through the process of choosing. Thank you!

I bought a little teacup chihuahua from Dan. He picked up the dog, brought it over to me and said this is the one for you! Well, I had the dog in a playroom 2 seconds later. 2 minutes after that I was buying the dog.

Dan thank you again for picking out the perrfect puppy for me. And thanks to Ron for all the training help. I'll be back when I'm ready for the next one. p.s. I'm sending all my friends!!!!

I recently bought a maltese, and a teacup yorkie. One for my wife for our anniversary and one for my daughter for graduating highschool.

Most other stores had these two breeds for double the price. Thanks to Canine Corral for making it affordable to me.

I purchased two doberman pinscher's from canine corral who are both stunning. The store came highly reccomended to us, and we are very happy that we found canine corral. I have since sent in two friends, one for a boxer, and one for a yellow lab.

They really take care of you regarding price and supplies. great place!!! two thumbs up!!

I just bought the most cutest puppy ever. I had a hard time finding a little tiny yorkie that I could afford. My friend reccomended me to Canine Corral, which I could not have been happier with. I got the hottest little yorkie at a price that I could pay...So thanks to Canine Corral for making my dream possible.

Well, from the first moment we walked in the door my wife and I knew that this was a different kind of pet store. THERE WAS NO SMELL! That sold us right away, knowing the conditions were so well maintained. Then we sall that all the puppies were in cute cribs and jumping around. The salespeople were very knowledgable, and gave us all kinds of training for our new puppy. We will definitely continue to reccomend all of our friends, and non friends also to you! Thanks for little bella. My kids can't thank you enough.

It is holiday time and my daughter surprises me with a Pomeranian puppy from Canine Corral. I work full time sometimes 50 hours a week. A puppy was not on my wish list at this time. Regardless, my daughter is 17 years old a minor under the law. Canine Corral deceptively lures her into a financing contract with Wells Fargo bank all she needs is an 18 year old to sign the contract. She gets a friend to sign this loan at 43.00 per month for the next 4 years at an interest rate of 21.9% . The puppy cost 1400 and interest charges would be 750. An 18 year old has no credit at this point in his life, but the loan gets approved somehow.

Janine was so rude she said it is up to you to explain these things to your children and there is nothing I can do. I can't beleive a person like this is a manager in a pet store. She has no customer service skills whats so ever or empathy.

I read the contract and see it states a return will be granted if the puppy is found to be in ill health. I take the puppy to the vet they recommend, name I will not disclose because it is quite reputable. The Vet tells me the puppy has kennel cough and he needs medication. I ask the vet to put this writing for me. He drafts the medical findings and also adds that the owner is not able to care for this dog on a full time basis to administer the medications. I have called Janine and the customer service line all weekend no one has called back. At one point I was told don't worry someone will call you back.

I was informed from several animal shelters that they investigate the homes that the animal will be adopted in. Go to a shelter or a breeder to get a pet do not go to Canine Corral all they care about is money not the well being of the pet.

I am not done with Ira N. and Janine I am taking this to small claims court. He should be arrested for what he does to young innocent children all in the name of money,

I bought a fantastic dog from Canine Corral, and it's the only place I'd buy one. Ira is incredible and so is the service, from Megan, Dan, Alan and anyone else that I've dealt with there. My puppy, Nyssa, now 8 months old is in great shape, healthy, loves everyone, has a habitual licking and cuddling habbit and is adorable. I highly recommend them and if you have any questions, email me.

I purchased a 10 week old Mini Dachshund from Canine Coral in June of 2006. When examined by the vet immediately, she had kennel cough. Okay that is quite popular in a place with many dogs, and spreads easily so I let it slide. However while waiting for her papers, she indeed was not AKC registerd, she was ACA. Since I did not get her to breed her I let that slide, however I did call them on being liars about her registry. In return they offered me free grooming for life. Didn't take them up on it, because I didn't want her coming home with any other ailments just from going there period.

All I can say is they are extremely rude as well as ignorant once they have your money and you are out of their store. Before that, Ira is the perfect gentleman. Thank god my dog is almost 3 and healthy and I love her to death.

What I have learned from all of this.....WE MUST STOP BUYING DOGS - there are plenty of wonderful animals in the shelters, that would love to come home with you. I urge every single person that reads this to please adopt, and do not purchase. That is how puppy mills stay in business. If you must have a certain breed, do not buy it from a store, seek out a reputable breeder instead. My next dog will be adopted from a shelter that is for sure. Any animal will give you unconditional love, and never expect you to pay a penny for it, nevermind thousands of dollars. In their eyes it comes FREE!

Cut my losses on the vet bills and never went back and do not recommend them to anyone.

I went to Canine Corral with my wife, and two daughters. We had heard from friends a lot about many different breeds. There was a gentleman in the store, Dan who was extremely helpful in finding our family the right breed. We now have our happy healthy puppy for 6 months, and we are definitely going back for a little playmate for our cockapoo, noodles. Thanks Dan, and everyone else over at Canine Corral.

I would like to say that i have 2 dogs from canine corral and they are both very healthy dogs. The only problem I had with one of my dogs was with house breaking and the very knowledgeable staff at canine corral walked me through the housebreaking step by step until my dog was fully housebroken.

I have been a customer at Canine Corral for the past 5 years, and upto this date I have not had any complaints about the dogs that I have purchased from them, I have purchased 3 dogs and upto this date, they have been very healthy dogs, I do take my dogs to the vet on a regular basis.

Canine Corral has to be one of the saddest places I have ever been to. Many of the puppies had neon green mucus dripping from there noses and when asked if this was normal, staff said yes. Can you believe this?? Also they had a kitten inside of one of there cages with a puppy, and the puppy was just beating this poor kitten up.

My friend purchased a puppy Shih Tzu from them about 6 months ago and it died after her having it only a week. My neighbor also purchased a puppy there, it died. They gave them a replacement, which also died. How is this place even still in business? I have driven by there a couple of times and have witnessed people protesting there store from across the street. Make this place stop, please.

Last August My daughter purchased a Doberman puppy, Canine Corral said that it was a pedigree dog and would send along the papers in two weeks. No papers were sent and we called and were told to give it a bit more time,another two weeks, again no papers so I called the second time and was told to wait about three weeks. When once again we received no papers I reread all our papers my daughter received with the dog and it has a discloser in it that we have the right to papers and if we do not receive them and we have contacted the store twice we can have this remedied under the law. We feel that this dog was sold to my daughter under false pretense and it is not in fact a pedigree and it is not worth the $1189.39 Canine Corral charged so we are now taking them to small claims court for remebursement.

This store sold my daughter a very expensive dog along with unnessary extras such as a food and water bowl that was small enough for a cat not a large breed dog, food that our vet does not recomend for puppies and a vitamins such as coat supplement, and health extention powder, if in fact this is a healthy puppy it should not need these frivolous supplements, my daughter spent $1400.00 when the dog is worth maybe $400.00

In January of 2007 I purchased a purebred black and tan dachshund. I brought him to a vet they reccomended near my home and the doctor said he was in great condition. He didn't have any parasites which was great, no kennel cough, nothing. He was a great puppy.

Well, on October 29, 2007, I came home to find his cage pushed in the kitchen (he was in the cage) from the next room over and blood was all over the floor. He was having ceizures. His tongue was out of his mouth and his eyes were fluttering. I rushed him to the vet with my neighbor and the 10 minute drive to the vet he had 2 more ceizures. They started him on anticonvulsion medication and he wasn't coming out of the ceizure. I had to put my puppy to sleep. He was only a year and one month old.

When I contacted Janine at canine corral, she said she needed a letter form the vet stating what procedure was taken, bloodwork, medical records, and my receipt. I wanted my money back. The only option they gave me was a replacement puppy. This woman had no sympathy for me at all. SHe was so cold, it was as if she didn't even care. The vet I took him to was not my primary and she said that she's seen this before and it couldve been caused by overbreeding. Basically, a mother should not be bred more than twice. In the later litters, genetic defects like epilepsy are more common. It hurts so bad to know that they probably were not getting puppies from responsible breeders and my whole family had to go through heartbreak. If you purchase a puppy from here, please look into the breeders first.

I purchased a mix breed puppy 8wks old shi-poo the puppy had problems breathing in the beginning I Call the store they told me he was stressed I took him to my vet they said there was no apparent problems about a week after that my puppy had a siezure I took the puppy to my vet he diagnosied the dog with epilepsy when i Canine corral to let them know they told me to bring the dog back or to have the dog put down I choose to keep baily he was put on medicine. I told the canine corral of what was going on they said that i would have to prove this was a generic disease if i wanted any money back well just recently bailey died from a two hour siezure he just turned three in Feb when I called the store to let them aware of the fact they said there was nothing they could do and hung up

Last year in december of 06 I purchased what I was told was an AKC registered great dane from Ira Nierman. Ended up the dane was not AKC but ACA registered. About four months into owning the dog she was diagnosed with a pancreatic indeficiency, which cost us over 300 dollars a month in medicine to keep her alive. The poor dog was in an out of the vets office and by the time she was a year old her file at the vet was two inches thick with lists of problems she had. A few days before chistmas our dog had developed an eye infection and had become very lathargic. She spent 3 full nights a the vet and was then diagnosed with yet another ailment, an immune system deficiency.

At 12 30 am on the fourth night we were contacted by our vet. Our dog had gone into siezures, her back legs were going out from under her and she had lost a considerable amount of wieght. Later that night she had to be put down at a little over a year old, and three days before christmas. Buyer Beware: this man runs a puppy mill, and should be shut down permanently.

We purchased a 4 month old mixed-breed (Mal-Shi) from Canine Corral in august 2007. Canine Corrals intermediary lied about the puppys approximated weight, health history and current living situation. Upon a visit to our home the dog exhibited slow reflexes, labored breathing and as well as what seemed as a vision impairment. When asked about her ailments we were told the dog was given a clean bill of health by a well trusted vet.

A day before we picked up the dog we were told, I need to be straight forward with you, the dog has kennel cough.? We figured it was not a debilitating disease so we decided to take the dog to our own vet. Upon bringing the dog to the vet we were advised to bring the dog back due to a serious respiratory infection as well as a vision deficiency. When the dog was brought back to Canine Corral it seemed as if they were aware of the dogs problems, and had no remorse for deceiving a customer. From our understanding the dog has and will receive no medical attention and will soon be euthanized.

The conditions inside Canine Corral can only be described as appalling. Dogs are stuffed in endless rows of crates. The cages are far from sanitary and disease can spread rapidly. Dogs with kennel cough are relegated back to there crates where they spread there infections to other animals. I dont know when the last time Canine Corral was inspected, but we believe the business is due for an unscheduled inspection. From our understanding dogs that are returned do to health issues that cannot be inexpensively resolved are euthanized. It becomes a self perpetuating condition were sick dogs make other dogs sick. God only knows where Ira sources some of these puppies, but I doubt they are coming from registered breeders.

As a pet lover, and as a community we need to stop such activities such as the above mentioned. The Canine Corral is doing a disservice to the dog community in our area. Included is a list of other reported instances of deception and poor treatment to animals.

1845 New York Ave Huntington Station to buy a PUPPY. They sold me a 10 week old Maltese for $1,466 plus $256 in vitamins and supplies. Friday night the dog was fine Saturday afternoon he starts to vomit, me thinking its motion sickness from the 45 minute ride home, I just let him sleep thinking thats all he needs. Sunday Morning at 8am he is lying there looking as if he is dead. I decided to take action for his well being and took the puppy to a local Emergency Animal Hospital where he was admitted for over night observation due to HYPOGLISEMIA is when the dogs blood sugar is low because of failure to eat. It can cause a comma then soon after death. His sugar was supposed to be at 80 he was at 30 due to not wanting to eat.

I picked him up Monday morning and they said to take him to a VET because he needs further testing to be done. I left him at my local vet he Dr. Jeffrey he tells me the dog has a heart murmur on the left side and a deformation with his mouth called (Parrots Mouth) where the upper snout his longer then the bottom and they do not connect giving the dog trouble eating giving him the HYPOGLISEMIA witch I was not aware that the dog had this deformation at the time of purchase.

When I go back to the store to speak with the Supervisor Jeanine Kooner? telling her I want a refund on the VET bills she said its not there problem and no longer there responsibility when clearly on the contract it says they would cover all vet services? she claims because what the dog has is not an ILLNESS when clearly it is.

Basically, once I researched with the better business bureau they have other claims against them for selling sick dogs to people and not following threw with there written contract.

They took the dog back but will not give me a refund on the Vet Bills a total of $825 nor on the $256 in supplies and vitamins because I opened them!!!

I need your help!!! PLEASE. I have no more tiers to cry after being emotionally attached to the dog. I even named him Bailey. God Only knows what they would do to him! :-(

from my Vet the Pomeranian had PDA, a congenital heart defect,and that they sold the Pomeranian with that undisclosed knowledge..Had a detail written report sent to vendor along with the numerious phone calls,all within seven days of purchase. They refused to discuss any aspect of the purchase and subsequent operation costing $3,555.93.

A poor girl who came to me to help potty train her 2 year old teacup Yorkie had told me that Canine Corral gave her the pup at THREE WEEKS of age. Eight weeks is average for a normal pup, but for a teacup breed no one with a heart would let a pup that tiny go at three weeks..12-16 weeks is normal.

The pup would up getting seizures because of it's small size. Dogs that tiny suffer from low blood sugar...he still should have been with his mother and litter.

The result....this dog had to spend a month at the the vet while they got him back to decent health. Since he was taken from the litter so soon he has not developed the behaviors and socialization that normal puppies are supposed to have. This establishment threatens the quality of life of its puppies and the poor uneducated customer who must learn the hard way. This place should be shut down. Stop buying from pet stores that obviously don't care about the dogs...stop supporting puppy mills...it's an abusive industry.

I bought a West Highland White Terrier there that they had advertised in the newspaper for $135. They did not inform me that the dog would not be able to be housebroken by a normal person since it had spent most of its life ( 6 months ) in a cage.

Consequently, it would not eliminate outside or on a leash and had no aversion whatsoever to stepping in and lying in it's own excrement. I called them several times and they were no help but kept saying I should follow the written instructions they give out for all dogs. They would not admit that the instructions did not apply to this dog because of his long time spent in a cage or that it would impossible tio housebreak him.

I had him for 5 weeks and he never once eliminated on a leash. I am 55 yrs old and partly disabled with back problems. I could no longer tolerate the back pain from bending down to change papers in his crate 20 times every day! He would sometimes eliminate 3 times in 15 -30 min. indoors but could hold it 2-3 hours outside. I was physically unable to keep him out long enough until he had to go.When he was out of his crate indoors he would eliminate anywhere in the house whenever he was out of my sight for even a few seconds. I finally had to give up up and bring him to Bide-a-wee for adoption. I am heartbroken at having to give him up and left the shelter in tears after saying goodbye to my dog for the last time.
