I found a Havanese puppy at our local Petland. (We decided a while before that a Havanese sounded like a great breed to have.) We bought the puppy, took her home... And she began to cough. We took her to the vet the next day and found that she had a case of kennel cough. She was given medicine, but 3 days later her cough was actually worse. We took her to the vet again, and the vet gave her 3 more medicines because her kennel cough is so bad. He told us that she will probably always be a sick dog, and will always require expensive medicine because Petland never gave her medicine to stop the cough while it was just beginning.
Sophie (the Havanese) was at Petland for about 3 weeks. Who knows how long they left her lie there in her cage coughing?
I called Petland to let them know what the vet said. I asked if I were to return the puppy, would I get my money back. They told me NO. I asked if they would help pay for her medical bills for a few months, they said NO. They said to me that every once in a while they "miss" a sick dog. I'd like to know how you can miss a dog who is coughing. Basicly, Petland won't help me at all with my sick dog. They condemned her to live her life on medication by not providing her with the care she needed while she was in their "care".
DON'T BUY A PET FROM PETLAND. They don't care about the animals and are just in it for money.
