Why The Hell *pet store vent*

There is a pet store the next city over that I have been meaning to go to and never have a chance to so we went yesterday. I was soooooooooooooo excited because they sell

Innova
Evo
Canidae
Eagle Pack
California Naturals


i mean they had soooooooooooo many good foods. I walk in there adn they have birds and fert and other small animals, along with fish all look decently cared for. Ok what else is new. Then I walk to the food.............they sell puppies, not oly puppies but OMG the cages were FILTHY and the puppies were all lethargic they wont even let you in the room where they havethe puppies. We walked in there because there was a door there butit was a half door and opened and no sign saying do not enter or anything and got yelled at for being in there. I mean they had a YELLOW maltese. UGH

WHY?!?!!?!?!?! They sell AWESOME food so they KNOW about nutrition but then they sell mill puppies in HORRIBLE shape

So after seeing the condition that they are in have you contacted the board of health for that city or animal control for that city or called the SPCA for that city?

how annoying... there is a really good fish place near me that suddenly decided to try their hand at selling puppies (wth?) and I had to walk out empty handed.

Is it a chain ?? That's horrible ! I refuse to buy anything that has connections to mills !!!

IDK Grammy Ive never heard of it before. Its called Pet Warehouse.

Crios it was annoying I wanted to buy a small bag of food to add to the kirklands but couldnt

That's always upsetting. Several years ago I stopped feeding EVO to my babies because the store where I got it from starting selling puppy mill puppies and there conditions weren't good. I refused to support that. I'm really glad I have a good store to get it from, now !

I know someone who contacted Natura and let them know the conditions of the store that was selling their food, and natura pulled their products from their shelves. Food for thought

^This is an excellent idea.

I didnt know that Brat. Ill have to look into that. All the other animals looked so well taken care of too they had this cool loking Blood Python LOL

Good for you for not giving them your money.

They sell high end food because people will buy it. Simple supply and demand. I hadn't thought about contacting the dog food suppliers. Contact all of them!

Luckily where I buy Ollie's only has Dog and Cat products . Lovely Mom and Pop shop and they said they'd even deliver if I needed it ! For Indy folks it's City Dogs Grocery near Broadripple .

Oh, no.

Can you contact someone and report the state of the puppies?

IDk ill have to check on monday.

That's what I was asking the first response of this post, Guess it was glossed over though

That is awful! Those poor puppies, I also hate it when I find a store with great stuff that sells pups

Oh and Lolas Dad.. she probably has you on ignore lol which is why she didnt see your post. many do. so it wasn't "glossed over" she just didnt see it.

As for the store, you can call your local animal control to go check it out. from the sounds of it, those pups are NOT up to health codes.

I have to wait till monday and its not my county thank god.

When I visited " Uncle Bill's " I spent my time talking people out of buying puppies and why ! None knew of the Mill issues !

I didnt have the patience and thankfully no one was looking at them, I just wanted to go see this cute boston.

That's good !!! My 3 were ready to pay over $600 !

OMG.

I couldnt imagine paying that for a mill dog

lol thats nothing. the price of a typical pet store puppy (yorkie, chi, maltese) in Miami is $1200. Ive seen up to $4000 for "tiny" pups that are obviously just VERY VERY young pups that are being shown at "10 weeks"
