Well being originally from NL(up until 3 yrs ago) ....I will say that I am almost sure that there is NO law regarding age....as long as they can eat and drink on their own they are good to go!! That Pets R Us place is conducted like a circus! It's prolly the store in St. John's area!! I have been there a few times and believe me....they don't care about the animal as long as they get a profit!! It's pittiful......
