The business arrangement with the vet 20 miles away makes the puppy sick period palatable since they don’t really charge you until your puppy is well and free of kennel cough or pneumonia. For example, most of the people at the vet bought their pets at this store. And most say their puppies were sick for the first few months. But all of the owners there say it is the business of buying pets anywhere you go. Most people polled, say it was worth it and they would do it again.
Do your research about pet stores before buying a pet from any store. This is where I failed. This was a risk that I wasn’t aware of. This store was clean and the puppies seemed clean and happy.
So far, I agree. But. I would prefer to know all that before being hurled into that situation.
Great place! We ended up buying 2 dogs and we are very excited! Rob was great, very informative and patient! Over all a great experience! Thank you very much!
The temperament of the pet displayed may be due to being pumped with drugs—the longer at the store, the more drugs (just my impression based on research). My dog was very docile, unlike his cage brother. The cage brother was running head first into the wall. He was berserk. I knew that was too much silliness for me. I chose the calm and cool puppy. Two days later I discovered he was cool because he had pneumonia and couldn’t breathe. Unfortunately, now that he is well, he is as just as rambunctious as his active little cage brother who I passed over. What a surprise as a pet parent. My dog loves to run in circles head first into the wall. Damn!
Great place. Great service. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. We just adopted a puppy from here and couldn’t be happier
The store staff was nice to me but not necessarily to my girl friend. Perhaps they don’t like being challenged by experienced dog owners—she has had pets her whole life. I am a novice and they were pretty patient with me. The lady was very sweet. The guy seemed very bi polar. He gets very upset if you ask a question while he’s talking.
People say adopt. Nah. I’m not one for adopting. I’ll deal with this process. And not adopt.
The store can order your potential pet. This is probably better than picking a pet that has been in the store for weeks, exposed to germs for 5 weeks or more. Most pets purchased from the store are sick based on my informal assessment. But that’s the business with buying from a store.
Great work!!!
Just walked out after looking at a dog. The puppy had feces stuck in his fur. The place is very dirty. I'd love to be able to remove the dog from the environment but I cant see supporting a business like that.
I would buy a dog again from this place. But. I would order it and not get one festering with weeks worth of germs. It took 6 weeks for my pet to get clean X-rays after purchase.
This is our go to grooming spot! We have been going there for 10 years and the staff is very friendly and very professional. They offer a great selection of puppies. All three of our dogs have come from the puppy store!
