Petland Pet Store Novi Michigan
We bought an Italian Greyhound from Petland in April of 2005. She was already 4 months old. Later that year she was diaginosed with Perthis disease. She had to have surgery removing the top of the leg bone from the hip. Her leg know longer attached to her skeleton. A breed born to run. Petland did agree to give us another puppy and/or a credit to the store of $1,400. They stated that they wouldnt get from that breeder anymore. Yet they still get there Greyhounds out of Missouri. Apparently there are thousands upon thousands of puppy mills in that sttae.
My dog is now 9.5. At the age of 8 a different vet asked me if I was sure I have had her since she was a puppy. She shows signs of a 12/13 yr old dog! No one wants to hear this! I want my baby to live as long as she possibly can. She gets the best of everything! I know that she is a product of inferior breeding. Petland will tell you that they don't get puppies from puppy mills. They will show you all there pretty picutres of dogs on grass playing with children. You don't have 100+ adult breeding dogs that your playing with everyday. I know their caged their entire life just to make money for the breeder & petland. Its acutally animal abuse and I can't believe I contrubuted to it by purchasing from this store.
