Question about Petland

[Candy317]

Thanks

One pet store over here stop selling puppies from all the protesters they would get, people stop buying from there solely because of it. They saw this was hurting their business, so they stopped. But they still sell exotic pets [lemurs, mundi coatis, ect] Only downfall about not shopping here is that they're the only carriers around here for EVO dog food.

They're trying to shut down Wizard Of Claws [not sure if they did?] down here. People wrote to the news channels and held protests outside the store many times.

I sometimes hear Petland employees say we don't sell teacup dogs like Wizard Of Claws or other stores, to make them look better off.

If they have no business, they will change their ways.

The store I go to sells teacup puppies, but its the only store that sells Canidae dog food, which I have my dogs on. But I'm going to start purchasing the food online from now on

Sorry, but it's true. The dogs there are Puppy Mill dogs. They charge an arm and a leg, but pay next to nothing for the dogs they get.

I once saw an English Bulldogge (always wanted one!) for 1/2 off because she had a severe case of cherry eye and demodectic mange. I asked how much she was (thought she'd be cheap with those conditions) and was told $1600! She was originally $3200, and I know because I said (when they told me $1600) that wow she was "only" going to be $800? And they said no, the $1600 IS the half off price...

I walked away sick. That poor dog. How many people are going to pay that much for an animal they will right off the bat have to spend a hefty vet bill for?

Sad...it really should be shut down.

There are many more sites like this about Petland. Tragic...

I was minutes away from buying from Petland. Lucky for me I really have to make up my mind before spending money (My GF says it's because I'm cheap) I went home and research and found out about Petland buying from puppymills. I'm now educated and currently wait for my baby from a breeder that is 5 hours away. The drive means nothing even with gas prices, just to know it's coming from a good place. The sick fact is it isn't just Petland it's most pet store. I say most because I don't know for sure if it's all, even if thats what I think. The more people know the faster this will come to an end, I feel sad for the moms, and babies that aren't been loved just caged.
