Pet Paradise This is not about the company it's about the customers ripoff Englishtown New Jersey

I'm sure that this Pet Paradise employee believes she is telling the truth. As a former employee of her boss's sister many years ago, I recall being assured that none of the puppies on site came from puppy mills or commercial breeders. They also had us dispense medications, only they didn't give us such bogus stories about what the medicine was and what it was for. They merely told us that this is what the vet prescribed however many times a day, and we medicated the dogs as instructed.

I'm sure this person was given this false information by her boss. Maybe she is very young or very naive and believes it without question, however, if looked at logically, she would probably understand that stronger medicines would be prescribed only if less potent medications didn't help the condition. Overmedicating an animal can have serious side affects as well; this is what they did at Shake A Paw and I believe they are doing it at Pet Paradise as well.

I think the issue here is not whether the dog is AKC or ACA. The issue is that these dogs are coming from puppy mills. I think that the customers who are buying these puppys want them as a "pet". As a matter of fact the employees of Pet Paradise and other Puppy Stores in the area are very proud of the fact that some of their dogs have champion blood in their pedigree. They are very quick to point that out. Why would the customer care about that. The AKC or ACA is just a registry.

Ok, on to the more important matter, Pet Paradise and its employees are ultimately responsible for who these dogs are sold to. If you dont think they would be a good pet owner because they dont know what a tear stain is then a) educate them or b) dont sell them the dog.

You offer quite a bit of expertise on animal health care in your rebuttal. Be careful. Just because you dont like veterinarians (which is obvious from your comments) doesn't mean that you know more than them. Hopefully the customers who bought dogs from you during your time with Pet Paradise didnt listen to any of your incompetent advice. And Im sure that if they relayed your information regarding lets say the Clavamox, to their licensed veterinarian they would laugh at you or maybe just shake their head.

I beg to differ with you on why a veterinarian would use Clavamox. By the way Clavamox is the equivalent of Augmentin which is used in humans and is a very effective broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat various infections including bordetella. The problem arises when a secondary infection sets in and leads on many occasions to pneumonia.

Not all puppys develop kennel cough. Im sure many do from Pet Paradise due to the conditions they were in at the puppy mill or catching it from another puppy mill pup already living at Pet Paradise. Fleas are another problem leading to tape worm. Again back to the puppy mill conditions.

The whole set up is disgusting. The employees are uneducated and rude. Hanging up on customers who are trying to get their veterinary bills paid by a promise made by Pet Paradise at the point of sale. Reprehensible. Lets not focus on which customer knows the diffenence between a hot spot and a tear stain. Run an ethical business or get out.
