Petland - My PETLAND puppy has giardia!

I watched the PETLAND special on animal planet last night and got sick to my stomach!!!I BOUGHT a puppy for the petland in robinson town center and like the puppy mills on the animal planet special admitted their puppies had giardia, mine did too.

I paid 1,000.00 for him, I think this is a lot of money but I couldn't leave without him. I agree that any dog from anywhere can get anything. Petland knowingly buys sick puppies and sell sick puppies and then the owner JEFF KOURY blames you!!!! I had the puppy for a day and a half and took him to my vet only to find out he was very underweight and had giardia.

Also these puppies are stuffed in these boxes/display cases, its just sick!I will adopt from a rescue from now on. 2fe709b

sorry to say giardia and coccidia are merely nuisances of puppy ownership. Many puppies are susceptible to it and carry it! Most breeders if not found before they sell a dog, will not reimburse you when you take the puppy and rack up all kinds of vet bills at your discretion. I will refund the puppy before I will allow a individual as they see fit to treat a puppy. I personally would refund, take the puppy back, cure it myself and be done with you and quite frankly black list you so that you never are able to buy a puppy again from the breeder grapevine! There are many more far worse life threatening things that puppies can have such as liver shunts, serious heart murmurs, epilepsy, kidney failure and the list goes on! You people need to get off the minor nuisances and get a life, one would wonder if you have a life to complain and tarnish a reputation over a nuisance!

I just wanted to comment on RECONS post, um puppies/dogs do not get Giardia from CHANGING FOOD!!! Animals get Giardia from being exposed to it, in either another animals infected ***, or by drinking contaminated drinking water!! DUH!!! so no, it is not from 'changing food' ***!!

To the lady who bought the dog that got giardia 3 days after you got it. I bet you changed the dog food,So many people cry about this when its something they do.You must keep the pup on the same food he ate at the pup shop.Do you know how long it takes for giardia to start ? 3 days...I will type that again...3 DAYS !!! and #10 burt009,If i may ask you a lil question.Do you know where your "4 year old lab" came from ? or its health record before you got him/her???burt it IS your fault,You changed the food or you just gave the puppy can food,They cant eat that,its like giving burger king food to that poor pup.you should not be allowed to own a puppy,you made him sick Please dont say that the shelter said he lived with an old lady that drove the dog to work and back 3 times a year.YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR LAB !!!

Miss "poor puppies" What do you know about the dogs at shelters ?? did you ever think that they are from bad homes and bad breeders and bad pup stores ??? Shelter does not = a healthy dog.We have no crystal balls.If you had a newborn child and he got sick 3 days after he came home would you call the dr and tell him you want your money back ??? Here is the real deal...you buy a dog or find a dog,get 1 from the shelter or find `1 on the street...You dont know how long the dog will live,So shut up and stop bashing pet stores

In response to Petlands not bad - Any reputable breeder WILL back their puppies, some will even give a health guarantee up to 1 year. Does Petland do that?

if by chance a puppy does get sick through petland, they cover it for you. breeders do not do this, its your problem after the puppy goes home. Petland offers the best warranty for puppies, 3 years on hereditary issues, 30 day viral/colds. Breeders dont do these things. please rethink your Petland bashing

and also, you also do realize that the humane societys get millions of dollars and use like less than 10% of that money towards their facilities, i think the humane society should be checked out for animal cruelty, they are the major problems

i hope you do realize that even if you buy from a back yard breeder, or breeders in the newspaper or on the internet, those are puppy mills, and you can get giardia through them as well. Less than 4% of puppies come from Petland, thats a pretty small percentage, so i think you should realize that petlands arent as bad as you think

No it is not my fault that he had giardia. I have a 4 year old lab that I rescued from death row at the local animal control. And he didnt have it and he has never had it. I do not support puppy mills! All my life I have rescued, donated and volunteered.

With so many puppies and dogs in shelters who desperately need a home, there's no need to spend $1000 on a designer dog that was bred in cruel conditions. Most shelters actually treat dogs for such conditions before you even get to take them home. Stop supporting puppy mills!

I do hope that your dog gets better.
