 Petland is a disgrace!
I unfortunately worked at a Petland in ohio as a Kennel Tech for a short period of time. There is no doubt that I am now completely disgusted with the store.
Petland is a chain of stores, some are coperate stores while others are franchises. I worked at a franchise store and the management was horrible. The duty of a Kennel Tech was to take care of the dogs & cats; feeding/water, grooming/bathing, giving medications instructed by our vet and recording any signs of illness while also reporting them to the Kennel Tech manager.
I loved working at the store but I couldnt handle the mistreatment of the dogs. Whenever I saw a sign of any illness, whether it be a disease or sickness due to genetics or worst of all parvo, I reported it immediately to my careless Kennel Manager. They ignored when a dog could barely breath due to coughing or when a dogs stool was purely nothing but blood. Many times I reported bloody stool, kennel cough, symptoms of parvo or birth defects from genetics and it was rudely ignored. I did everything I could for the health of the puppies I looked over, but the management cared more about the profit they made off of the pup rather than its health. Within the short period of time I worked there, roughly 5+ puppies suffered a death from parvo [due to the symptoms being looked over]. Also, a puppy was sent home sick and died the next morning. It is completely unethical how a puppies innocent life is treated as a product for profit. If you are currently looking for a puppy, do not buy from Petland. |
