Petland

i think you guys have your opinion and thats okay. My opinion...When i was searching for my dog, i went to all the shelters in las vegas. All i found were dogs that had problems or pit bulls. I went to petland and I saw the dog i wanted. I bought a 3 month old Pug. I made the most amazing decision. She is the perfect addition to our family.When choosing a dog, this dog is going to be in your family for a long time and I dont think anyone should settle for a shelter dog if they dont want to. In this case i just didnt find one that i would love until petland.

She is the perfect addition to our family.I made the most amazing decision.

We bought a Mini-Schnauzer from this location about 2 weeks ago. She has been to the vet for her free health check and for her next set of shots. She is fit as a fiddle. We purchased this dog from this location after I was aggravated by picketers out front of the store. It turns out, that most of the people in the store purchasing, were glad the picketers were out there. The store is off the beaten path and is hard to find if you are not looking for it. The protesters are more like free advertising. I only went in to by something for our other dog Maverick, and ended up finding a little angel we named Harley. What happens to all these innocent animals if everyone listens to the idiots with the signs out front?

On August 31, 2008 we purchased a Papillon puppy from Petland. The dog was lethargic the first day we had it. We called the vet Monday morning as the dog was coughing. Of course it had Kennel COugh. The dog was so ill for about 2 weeks that it barely ate or drank, and was so lethargic it slept most of the time. After about 2 weeks the puppy started to perk up, and we thought it would be fine.

A few days later it started urinating ALL the time. It urinated while it wlake dor sitting on your lap and did not know it was doing it. The vet insisted it was behavioral. After 2 weeks of this, I insisted that the vet do something. For the last four months the dog has been at the vet two to four times a month for 100 to 400 each visit. They want to run another 500 to 1000 worth of tests as they still do not know what is wrong with the dog! We are being accused by the vet of being irresponsible pet owners because we refuse to have more tests, medications, exams, etc. We can't afford anymore!

As an employee at Petland, I believe many of these statements only speak for the stores you have been to. Each store has a different owner and use their own brokers. Where I work we obtained a list of all the puppy mills we were accused of buying puppies from and compared it to our list of over 800 and none came back as from puppy mills. Our store has only been open for a year and I came to this job from Pets Plus. The difference was amazing. I couldn't get over how clean everything was compared to my experience at Pets Plus. I aslo suggest thinking about getting a puppy and the information the Pet counslers give you before making a decison.

Have never had a bad experience so far. We have great warranty policies.

My husband and I bought a yorkie from the SouthPark meadows petland 12/3/2008. After taking it home all of our friends were upset because of the talk about petland buying from puppy mills. i assured them that we had the papers where the puppy came from, sure enough.. it is from a PUPPY MILL in the midwest. we do not support puppy mills. our yorkie is having trouble walking because of weak ligaments from it being in the cage for too long with out any excersie. PETLAND supports PUPPY MILLS. if you don't believe me then take a look at the human society's webpage.

PETLAND is a HORRIBLE PLACE to buy animals. they are not in good condition, the warrentys are full of crap, and the prices are too inflated. PLEASE HELP STOP PUPPPY MILLS-DON'T BUY FROM PETLAND.. try personal breeders or even better, the animal shelter!

i feel horrible that i contributed to the crulety of animals by buying from petland who ships their puppies in from horrible puppy mills.
