We purchased an Italian Greyhound at PetLand. The dog itself was $1,393.88. (That's not including all of the other stuff we had to get for her.) We had her for 5 days altogether. We took her on the third day for her first vet visit and found out that she had Kennel Cough. So we got the meds for her and started her on them. The next day when we got up she was vomiting and had bloody stool. We called PetLand and told them about the bloody stool, and they told us that it was normal for her to have bloody stool--that it could be from stress. But when her stool turned to nothing but runny blood, we took her to the vet. A Parvo test was run and came back positive. We told PetLand that we couldn't afford to keep her in the vet's, so they gave us a check and told us that if the dog made it through we would have the option to buy her back after she was well.
Well, she died tonight and we called PetLand and told them we paid in cash and we wanted cash back--not a check. So now we are waiting to see if they will do that. Our daughter is 2 years old, and this was her first puppy. We were attached, also. And now we're out a puppy and money for everything that we bought for the dog that can't be used again for another dog because she had Parvo. I think pet stores like PetLand should be closed down. Puppy mills are animal cruelty. If someone like you or me did half the stuff like they do to animals, we would be locked up for life. Why are they still in business? I just don't understand. I will probably be leaving more messages on here when we find out more from PetLand.
