NEVER buy a puppy from a petstore!!

Marci - Danby (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, April 06, 2006
NEVER buy a puppy from a petstore! This ripoff report is a textbook illustration of what happens when you do. Petstores that sell live puppies are the retail outlets for the wholesale pet industry (puppymills). Puppies from these wholesalers are subjected to long journeys in tractor trailers while still too young to have received their final booster shots against parvo and other canine diseases with the obvious end result of disease. Many are infested with worms as well. A large number of these pups die en route or shortly upon arriving at their destination.

If you want to put this industry out of business, do not purchase a puppy or anything else from a petshop that sells puppies. Do not even go into such an establishment if you have a young puppy at home. There are many documented cases of people bringing home parvovirus on their shoes or via an item purchased.

Another way to curtail this cruel industry would be legislation prohibiting the transfer of puppies under the age of 6 mos to another location for (re)sale. If a market still existed for older puppies at least they could be fully innoculated at this age and thus stand a better chance of surviving the trip to the petstore.

BUY a puppy from a reputable show breeder or from a person who has bred their family pet and has home-raised puppies for sale. Both charge less and provide more (ie vaccinations, worming, AKC papers, proper socialization and early training). Most petstore puppies are registered with a sham registry because the required dna testing for AKC registration would reveal that these puppies are not purebred.

I just recently put my Stonehenge dog to sleep at the young age of 3 years old. Corneal Dystrophy and serious elbow dysplasia which put her in more pain than I could bear to watch.

The conditions at Michelle's kennel was disgusting. The numbers of defective dogs and puppies sold by both of them are horrifing.

I have tried contacting Michelle and have never recieved a response as of yet. I will gladly offer my help to see these people held accountable for the abuse they inflict on the dogs they produce and keep and the pain & suffering they brought on their unknowing customers. Unforgivable.

Purchased Sick Puppy From Steve Kruse

Steve - Carmel (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, November 09, 2006
My wife and I purchased an English bulldog puppy from a woman in Naperville who claimed to have gotten the puppy from her boyfriend in Iowa.
He's been sick since he's been little and we've spent over $10,000 in surgeries, vet visits and other treatments.

Response:

I too saw the same woman in Naperville. Her name was Joanne. I have had many conversations with her boyfriend "Ray" who she says is the breeder but is not. I bought my bully 1 1/2 years ago and have also spent tons of money on her.

I purchased a a choc lab from Happiness is pets Lombard IL - the breeder is Steve Kruse my dog has a genetic eye problem an will need to see a specialist for the rest of his life- he now has knee problems - his knee keeps popping out they tell me it is also genetic from overbreeding - he is only 1 yr old. I would like to help close down Steve's puppy mill and bring down the pet shops that know where there are getting these dogs from and have them also shut down!! people pay good money thinking they are getting a healthy dog - in which case is a big LIE!!!
I would like to hear back from other people who are having the same problem with their dog or dogs.
