This company will take your money for a hypoallergenic cat or dog, and you will never hear from them again. The guy that runs this company is a total fraud, please check it out first. There is information all over the internet about him.

He moves around, starts up new businesses, takes your money and you never get your product or hear from him again. He always has an excuse, but your promised delivery date will come and go and no product. There are tons of people out there that have paid him, including me, that will never see a cat or dog, or ski, or anything else he's scamming at the time.

Be careful, he is selling very high priced snow skis now, from a company called Carradan Skis. He changes his name and moves, when his latest scam starts catching up with him.

Do not send this guy any money, you will never see it again.

Allerca, Newspaper Article

AUTHOR: Ripped off - (U.S.A.)

Here's one of many articles you can find if you search the internet.

By the way, I have stacks of PROOF, that Lifestyle Pets/Allerca did not and has not delivered a hypoallergenic kitten to me and dozens of others who have paid, have not received and want a refund. Go to a reputable breeder, do alot of prior research. Deal with someone that you can meet in person, see and visit their cats, breeding facilities etc, and talk to people that are real references, not just made up ones or paid to be references.

Not a HOAX, do your research people!!

AUTHOR: Ripped off - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, March 23, 2009

Comments are not a HOAX. All you have to do is check the internet, it is full of stories, comments, etc about this company/person. He will give you a date for delivery of your cat, and then say "or when available", which will mean that it will never be available, but meanwhile, he will have your non-refundable money.

#1 UPDATE Employee

The comments made are a HOAX and an direct attack on the company

AUTHOR: Lifestyle Pets - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, March 19, 2009

The comments made are untrue and unfounded, and the person posting should reveal their TRUE identity and provide PROOF of their statement.

The company has 350+ clients, 5% of whom come back to purchase a second pet, and has been in business for 5 years. Unfortunately the company has been hounded by inaccurate and defamatory statements by animal rights groups and just plain animal nuts who see the company as fair game, along with people PAID by a large veterinary company called Idexx, who is doing everything in its power to defame Simon (the founder of Lifestyle Pets) because Simon's ground breaking genetic testing technology threatens their multi-billion dollar business. For FACTS about this situation visit www.simonbrodie.com. Anyone interested in purchasing a hypoallergenic pet from LIFESTYLE PETS is given the opportunity to speak with existing clients and have full protection through their credit card company. And, the company operates its Pet Buddies program, which provides FREE hypoallergenic kittens and puppies to allergic children recovering from life threatening diseases - but to some, this is a scam too!

Lifestyle Pets has begun taking legal action against individuals who have made some of these false allegations. In the meantime, defamatory postings have resulted in increased costs to the company, which is reflected in increased costs to the thousands of individuals who would enjoy a LIFESTYLE PETS animal but now can't afford one.

Simon did change his name after a reporter was PAID to reveal in public where he lived. Penni Crabtree of the San Diego Union Tribune was well aware of threats against Simon's life by extreme animal rights groups, but went ahead and published this information anyway. Only later was it revealed that Idexx paid her. For the safety of his family he had to relocate and made the decision to change his name. And although Simon brought the situation with Crabtree public, of interest is that Crabtree has not taken any action Simon perhaps because she would lose her rights under California's shield laws that protect reporters, and would likely then be subpoenaed for all types of information that would reveal that she did take money (apart from having already lied under oath).

As for Carradan Skis, they have been seen by thousands of people at ski events and are widely lauded as some of the best skis in the world.
