Pet stores ONLY sell puppy mill puppies. Their health will always be questionable. The only thing that is certain is that you are helping to keep a cruel and inhumane puppy mill in business. Don't give your business to Brookside or any other pet store that sells dogs or cats.

Sure, they must sell SOME healthy puppies! Just check around though - and there are MANY people who have complaints against Brookside. Vets offices have complained, other consumers have complained. So, for every ying there's a yang. I have heard from enough people that convince me that Brookside is NOT a place I'd ever consider buying from!

I purchased a puppy from Brookside Pups N Stuff about 1 1/2 years ago. My puppy was completely healthy. Even though the puppy appeared completely healthy, I still took him to the vet to be check within 7 days of purchasing him. My mother also purchased a COMPLETELY healthy puppy from Brookside about 2 1/2 years ago. I am currently waiting for another puppy, who will arrive this Tuesday, and am completely confident that the puppy will also be healthy. I know quite a few others who have purchased puppies from Brookside and not a single person had any problems with the health of their puppies. I, too, along with my mother, verified the breeders and everything checked out 100% - completely private breeders - no puppy mills! As a matter of fact, the puppy that I am getting on Tuesday is the sibling of my dog now. It would be kind of difficult to purchase a dog from the same mother and father from a puppy mill. Puppies do get sick, just like babies. It is very important that they are taken to the vet within a few days of bringing them home. Diet is also a big factor and keeping a close eye on your new puppy so that he or she does not eat random objects, causing he/she to become ill. If there was, in fact, some sort of infection, disease or other illness and you took your new puppy to the vet within the first seven days, the vet would have picked up on it right away. Vets are pretty familiar with the common "puppy mill" diseases. If you had done that and had your puppy diagnosed, you would have had absolutely no problem returning your puppy to the store. Clearly, if it was past the appropriate time period to return the puppy, then it is safe to assume that you did not do the initial well visit. Brookside Pups N Stuff has been there for me throughout the entire 1 1/2 years that I've had my dog. Anytime I ask for advice, they are extremely knowledgeable and are even leading me through the process of introducing the new puppy to my home and to my other dog. They have been nothing less than wonderful and I couldn't ask for more in a pet store.
