Six months ago I purchased an 8 week old female english bulldog from this place. Ideally she was purchased as a family pet and so that I may breed her with another family member english bulldog and keep their puppies in the family. After a few days of having her at home, I noticed she had kennel cough and green discharge from her nose, when I called Puppies to go and asked if the vet THEY recommended would be able to see her right away, the response I got was "SHE IS JUST A DOG AND THIS WILL PASS DON'T MAKE IT A BIG DEAL". 

Seeing how UNPROFESSIONAL they are, I took my dog to a vet referred by a family friend and found she not only had kennel cough but she had anemia, and had an infection in her blood that needed immediate medication in order to save her.  Few months have gone by and my puppy is now 8 months old. She is about to get her period and I noticed she began developing small rashes on her skin. I immediately took her to the vet to find out she has Demodectic mange. Demodectic mange is caused by a mite, that infects the hair follicles. This condition is only noticeable when the puppy goes into heat, their immune system goes down and the mites begin to attack her skin. Pups pick up these mites from their mother when they are nursing. Treatment for my pup is a series of injections and dips that eventually after time will shorten her life span due to the strength of the medicine and its effects on her pancreas and liver. Since the mites only attack when she is in heat, I have no choice but to spay her so that they do not attack her again.

After seeing my pup go through so much and now finding out I cant breed her and her life span being shortened, I called Puppies to go again to inform them of my dogs condition and let them know the litter of puppies they sold were all sick, all I got were excuses and the cold shoulder, and the fact that they dont what conditin the puppies will come out in after they are sold. My pup is only 8 months old ! They dont care about the dogs they sell. When I purchased my pup they were quick to sell her to me and get me out the door stating they keep all records of the puppies parents and can guarantee they sell puppies that are in good health. I guess they failed to noticed that the mother of my pup was missing hair and had a skin condition when they purchased that litter.  They are selling sick puppies to the public and they dont even care !!!
