A month ago our youngest begged me to go play with dogs at the humane society, I couldn’t find the time to get out there so I asked if she would settle for Petland. She played with lots of pups before we came across the most precious faced Cavalier King Charles puppy and instantly fell in love with him. The very next day I was told that I needed to start thinking about quality of life for my first baby, Capone while at his vet appt. My heart was broken and my sweet husband wanted to try and help it, so that weekend we brought home the puppy from Petland. Hoping he would get close to Capone on his last month with us and that our new baby could help relieve some of that pain when Capone crossed the rainbow bridge.
Within a few days it was clear there was something going on with him, it was Memorial Day so vets were closed. We were told per our warranty that we had to take him to their vet in order for things to be covered if there was anything wrong. That Tuesday we did and found out the he had Giardia, a very wicked intestinal parasite. This is highly contagious to both dogs and also humans. He went on lockdown and I cleaned all day long trying to make sure it didn’t spread, we finished up 10 days of medication, retested and he was still positive. 2nd round of medication was finished and their vet supposedly retested and said he was clear, 3 days later there is to be another check and he was clear again according to this vet. I knew he wasn’t ok because he had bloody diarrhea, and when I voiced my concerns to their vet I was ignored like I wasn’t even in the room speaking to her. The next day I had to take Capone to be put to sleep, and I brought in a stool sample from our puppy so that our vet could check it and of course he was still positive for Giardia. So we started round 3 of antibiotics this time for 14 days. We then had further testing done that came back two nights ago and this puppy has multiple severe parasites and is positive for a bunch of other bacteria and viral infections. Again, all of these parasites can be given to other animals but also humans! Yesterday he was back in the vet because of throwing up blood and his hair falling out, all due to how messed up his insides are and all the medication he has been on for 30 days now. I have had to deal with the heartache of losing Capone, but now also in fear of losing our new baby because we just keep getting hit with something new every few days. My heart hurts, I’m mentally, physically, and emotionally drained.
Learn from us… DO NOT BUY DOGS from Petland, they are sick!!! These parasites found in poop and sharing water are highly contagious and if you don’t do round the clock cleaning, disinfecting, and treatments they will never go away!!! Ask any reputable vet about them or even just google it! Do not ever use Animal Health Center vet, this is the vet Petland makes you use and they don’t care at all about the health of these puppies and in fact claims to go there twice a week to check on them so she knowingly lets these dogs sit there sick and infecting all the other dogs. Don’t go in there to hold or play with these dogs because you’re putting yourself and kids at risk of catching things you would never even think about! I went in to Petland after all of this to get owner information and walked the puppy wall and EVERY single puppy had diarrhea that looked exactly like our pups. Our puppy now has 4 medications he takes every morning and night, one of which will be long term possibly even permanent. We thought we were safe after talking to the manager about the horror stories and our puppy having all the paperwork from breeder, vet, bloodline etc. DO NOT BELIEVE THIER STORIES! The breeding facility they claim to go an visit doesn’t even exist and the breeder was tied to an Amish puppy mill ring in Indiana. I wish I could give this place negative stars! We love our puppy and will do whatever we can to fight this stuff wrecking havoc in his little body, but will never step foot in petland again!!

Purchased a new puppy during the %60 off sale, to get to the point you’re telling me with the 60% discount he was $3800? Seriously? A mini dachshund 10 weeks old original price was $6080 bucks? I’m happy with the dog but a week later he developed a horrible cough and seems to be pumped full of shots (17 SHOTS FOR A 10 WEEK OLD PUPPY) took him to a vet that PETLAND doesn’t work with (Our local vet HATES Petland). I wouldn’t recommend anyone buying any pets from these KIDS working here. To sum it up they are Inexperience and unprofessional. It was a very teenage experience when we are about to spend ADULT money. Pretty sketchy how a credit check only accepts you when you go through a Petland sponsored credit union. Don’t be SIGNING 18 pages of paperwork.

I understand the excitement of getting a new pet. But if you are reading this please purchase a pet with someone who has experience and seems to care where they work. It’s just not a place I would recommend to anyone especially when you are finding a new pet for your home. Truly disappointed with what PETLAND should stand for.

Do not buy from here! I spent too much on a registered puppy. They explained that Petland was waiting on the registration from the breeder and Petland would mail it to me as soon as it was received. That was a little over two years ago. I have called 3 times and spoke to “managers”, always with assurances that they would get to the bottom of it. I don’t like to post negative reviews, but I gave them two years to make it right. Never again

This location had puppies in their display whose breeder information was accurate. Sadly the breeder was a puppy mill in Missouri that has been under investigation and reported multiple times. Corporate uses "puppy brokers" to help maximize profit. The puppy broker also offers a degree of plausible deniability for them as they get to claim they are unaware. Then when they get found out, they can claim they never knew despite the information being two Google searches away.

I highly recommend you do not buy a dog from a store like this. They almost exclusively get dogs from puppy mills and you really don't want to introduce that into your home. These companies will happily sell you pups that have often over 100% markup with known diseases, infections, and health issues and purposely conceal it from you. I learned this with a Goldendoodle my wife and I got while residing in Tucson, Arizona from a place called "Pets at Park Place" which has since been shut down. Petland needs to be shut down too. Don't bring this hurt into your family, especially if you have kids.

Edit:

I have attached a screenshot of the owners response lest they be tempted to conceal their post.

One I hope everyone reading this notices that Petland wants me to snitch on their employee for actually showing me the breeder information when I requested it.

Petland is notorious for sourcing from puppy mills because they can buy the puppies at low cost and charge you anywhere from 4-10x the purchase price. They knowingly source from mills with violations on their records. They use the language "direct violations" to mislead you.

The humane society has a great write up on this you can find called The Horrible Hundred.

I am from an agricultural background. I have no association with Peta, HSUS, or any of these groups. I think often they are out of touch with reality in finer details. When it comes to the puppy mills and these commercial stores they are sadly spot on. Petland like all corporations uses virtue signaling to try and convince gullible customers. Hence catch phrases like "going green", "direct violations", etc. Do not let these guys trick you. You will lose money and gain heartache.

Staff is rude and unprofessional, nothing but young kids who dont look like they know what they are doing. their attitudes were very negative and talking to them felt passive aggressive. I did better looking for stuff on my own then asking for help, they just need a whole new team.

A few weeks back I went into Petland and fell in love with my puppy, and took him home. And that’s the only good thing that's happened. From the moment I brought him home, he started having a horrible cough that he’s never gotten rid of. I’ve taken him to the vet twice. He’s been on medication for two weeks straight and he still has issues with his cough and I’m going in for a third time in 2months. He’s also developed some intestinal issues that I also have to take him back to the vet again for the third time. And then on top of everything else on the night when I purchased my dog, the cashier/manager did not look like she appreciated her customers or the people that worked under her. She yelled across the room to tell someone to take the trash out. And yelled instructions to other workers. When it came to my transaction, there was a lot of sighing, eye rolling, and condescending tone to her voice that gave the impression that my presence, and my money, was irritating her and not appreciated. I intend to never shop at Petland again due to the questionable practices of how it treats its animals health and the poor Customer Service.

Sidenote: The medical paperwork I received from Petland about my dog this different than what my own vet has said. My paperwork that I received from Petland stated that My puppy who was less than three months old was already neutered. But my vet says they wouldn’t have done any operation to a dog that young and there’s no signs of any surgery that was done on him no scarring.

Don’t shop here. It’s very shady

We had a good experience purchasing our dog, but she was very sick. By the 3rd day she developed kennel cough and giardia. We battled that for months. Come to find out the vet they recommend cared more about us getting in there to spend money vs actually educating us on how to treat it. According to the cdc things do need to be disinfected several times daily, ESPECIALLY their water source. AND they need to be tested again within 24-48 hours after finishing the meds... not 3 weeks later when they can get us to spend more money with them. We will never get another dog from there.
