| A World of Pets Has anyone else had a bad experience with this pet store? I went to the one in Bay Ridge (86th street and 5th ave). When I first got Tabitha, she looked fine at the store but when I took her home she had diarrhea for days. The people at the store said I have a week to take her to the vet. They told me there was 2 vets I can go to and they were close to the store. When I took her to one of the vets they recommended, he said she was perfectly healthy. I was skeptical so I took her to another vet and he gave her some medicine for the diarrhea. I can't really recall what she had. Not only that, but they were trying to ring up items that I didn't even agree to buying (food, pads, toys). I told them that I have plenty at home since I have another yorkie and she just gave me an attitude as she voided the items. I met 2 dog owners at my vets office and both of them said that when they bought their dogs, they did not have a good experience either. Has anyone else heard about them? |

| Pet Stores get their dogs from brokers who get them from puppy mills. Just google in puppy mills and your questions will be answered. |

| If I were you, I would just avoid that place entirely and any others like it.
