What you need to know

Hey its L here and right now I'm going to tell you the truth about buying you dogs from the pet store.
First off many dogs at a pet store are from a Puppy Mill.
A puppy mill is a place that people house many dogs in small cages and breed out the females until death or when the female is not producing anymore offspring they are usually killed.
For instance a women bought a dog for 999.00 from a petstore and later that dog got very sick so she had to go to a special vet for the dog in all the total vet bill was around 90.00 and that wasnt enough. The vet said the puppy needed more advanced care the total bill from the animal hospital was around 3,772.00.
After all of the hard work sadly the puppy passed away due to Parivovirus.
This puppy was bought from a petstore and most likely from a puppy mill.
Since this tragedy occured there has been a law that came out called the Puppy Lemon Law which states that if a dog/puppy gets sick or dies with in 10 days of purchase you can request a full refund for the puppy to be paid within 14 days.
Just because this is a law does not mean that everything will be as easy as it sounds. If you are looking to buy a dog then why not check out the local paper for listings of breeders or go to the local animal shelter where there are many dogs who need a good home and will otherwise be euthinized.
Remember that even though there are dogs sold over the internet it is better to go to the place where the puppy/dog is located just too be sure that you are not making a bad descision.
Remeber Puppy Mills are not yet illegal so please do not support these actions thank you,
L
