After reading reviews of how much people hate Petland I'm a bit nervous about posting my experience. The point of this review is not to review puppy mill/spca, etc...I'm strictly reviewing a buying experience at Petland so others can be more educated than I was going into this.
I'd been taking my 10 year old daughter to Petsmart, SPCA, etc to find a puppy. On our way to the mall we went into Petland and held the sweetest snuggly puppy ever. She cried when we left. I cried when I heard the price! Considering our other pets are from SPCA and the pound, the price was a huge shock.
I Read reviews, studied the breed, struggled with everything from the puppy mill to the money, negotiated some on the price. Came home with the puppy 2 weeks later.
1) Included in price is 60 days of vet bills and some meds by Petland specified Vet in Frisco. If you don't use their vet, you void your 60 day warranty.
2) The costs of some meds and office visits ($55) are covered for 60 days, vaccinations are NOT covered. Be sure you read the warranty you sign. I thought vaccinations were included when talking with the staff.
3) There is a 3 year genetic warranty.
4) Includes lifetime microchip membership. Petland also did all of the registration for us. We just uploaded a picture. (About a $200 value)
5) Petland also did most of the AKC registration for us.
6) Puppy has been pretty easy to potty train
7) Took her home on Sunday, by Tuesday she had mild kennel cough and couldn't receive vaccinations.
8) Usually the females cost more than the males.
This puppy has quickly become part of our family. We are glad we are able to give her home. Very happy with the puppy.
