Fido's Puppy Shop Or Bahuaka Inc. ripoff Sold me a deaf Shih Tsu Puppy. Refused to accept my vet's exam that proved the dog was deaf. North Port And Venice Florida. Florida
Bought Shih Tsu puppy from Fido;s Puppy Shop in Venice Florida on 6-12-04, in good faith that the puppy was in good health.
Within two days I knew the dog was deaf.I went to their vet within the 48 hrs. required,I mentioned to the vet (Dr.Don)that I thought the dog was deaf.He said it was probably wax buildup, looked in her ears and did not find any wax, but diden't suggest a deaf test. I brought her to my own vet a week later, he did the test and sure enough she was deaf. I informed the puppy store,but got no satisfaction from them. They told me I'd have to go to an animal neurolagist in Tampa. I did call a doctor in Tampa and she told me,the test would cost $495, which I could not afford and they refused to pay for!. My dog is still not house trained, because she cannot hear commands, she is now 7 months old.

Did The Puppy Come With A Health Guarantee?

If the puppy came with a health guarantee and your vet says the puppy is deaf, then the puppy is deaf. You don't need a high dollar test to prove that a dog can't hear. If your vet is willing to attest to the fact that the puppy had a defect when you purchased her, then file a complaint with the local District Attorney's office and contact the breed association if your dog is registered. Send a complaint in writing to the corporate officers of Fido's Puppy Shop. Don't be surprised if they offer you your money back and then destroy the dog. On another note, your seven month old dog can be potty trained without the benefit of hearing. Use sight commands versus voice commands (as if you were dealing with a deaf human). One of my dogs obeys both hearing and sight commands.
