Oceanside Puppy

We got my very best friend here. However, when we got her she had kennel cough for starters. Her vet records also did not include two vaccinations which we were told she had. Lastly she was microchipped but by a generic company and the number they gave us to register with for the microchip was completley wrong. Our vet said it was the worst set of records she had ever seen.

I bought a puppy that Caroline Schulte bred. She was the owner of both sire/​Dam Lhasa Apso. I purchased the puppy in Oceanside ca. Beach Buddy puppies. The dog had problems from the beginning. They just kept putting me off. Said good luck! #Mistake I just new something was wrong. Iv’e had Lhasa’s before and iv’e been a dog groomer for years. So 9mo. later I get a letter from AKC The whole litter was cancelled Pedigree everything. Due to Impure breeding. How I asked myself she owned both mom and dad. Sure enough it was true. She must of forged the paperwork. Here’s how to check for yourself AKC# 919−233−9767 Reference#201 601 027 Litter#NP394136 Now I have Mixed dog with all kids of medical issues, skin problems, Food allergies, dental problems. They had too know he had food allergies. I didn’t buy him until he was 4 months old.

Got my shiba inu puppy from here on a friday, and spent a ridiculous amount of money. We brought her home and she was very lethargic. Well, this place only gives you a few days to bring the puppy to a vet of THEIR choosing and let them know if anythings wrong with the puppy. We didn’t live near the vet office they chose. So we brought her to a vet in oceanside. Well our puppy ended up having kennel cough, along with giardia and another parasite. So on top of the $ 2,000 for a puppy, we spent a good $ 500 – 600 on vet bills. Oh and the «military financing» has a very high Apr rate. So don’t even bother financing. I love my pup, but we should’ve went to the animal shelter instead. This place is a joke.

First off I am not a friend of the owner, or friends of this store. I went into this location because they are close to my house. I got my baby Ziggy here. He is a Red Bull Terrier. Jonah was the best!!! I had so many questions since I am a first time puppy owner. They let me see any puppy I requested and were very knowledgeable about the different breads. I have now had my puppy for a full month, and I couldn’t be any more in love. This was the best experience ever! They gave me a puppy starter pack with instructions on what to do, along with a lot of paperwork showing the pure breed status.

We went to look at puppies on Wednesday. We left with a bunch of flea bites. I understand they just got new puppies in that week, but still. Maybe you guys should use Diatomaceous Earth on the animals. It’s safe for both humans and animals. We’ve used it in our backyard and you can even rub it on the animals (keep out of face). We would never consider getting a puppy from here. We’ve had too many friends end up with sick, unhealthy dogs from this place.

The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Alex who was very friendly. We got to play with three of the puppies, one of which we ended up adopting. Even though Alex was extremely busy with many customer phone calls, he was always available for advice and questions. It was obvious that he really cared for us and the puppies.
The store has been renovated recently and was very nice. The kennels were clean as well and the puppies seemed happy and well taken care of.
Once we decided, Alex went over our paper quickly and efficiently. He also gave us puppy and dog advice while we were filling out the paperwork.
We will definitely recommend Oceanside Puppy to all our friends and family that are looking for puppies!

Alex and Jonah are great! I have been in an out of Oceanside puppy for a few weeks now trying to find the perfect puppy for my son and I. They have been nothing but nice, informative, and very helpful in this process.

I wandered into this shop because I was unable to tell what was sold by their blacked out windows.
I was shocked to see that a «boutique» like this is even in business. It is criminal to keep large breed puppy dogs in glass tanks with other puppies, giving them minimal room to play and run around.
I immediately called PETA and the SD County Sheriff’s office to see what else I could do. After conducting some research, I discovered that the puppies sold here are often diseased– and then returned to the shop. I wonder what happens to these poor returned puppies… Something to keep in mind when browsing for your next furry family member at Oceanside Puppy.

My girlfriend and I had so much fun looking at puppies. She got to play with the cutest chow chow. She wishes they had more puppies, but I would have bought all of them if I could have.

First lets start with their 5 star reviews. if you read some of their 5 star reviews it looks to be from friends or employees or people who have not purchased a dog there. The condition the dogs live in is poor at best. As a small business owner I am appalled how this place operates.
I took my family here since we are looking to add another family member. As we were in conversation with one of the sales girls one dog started viciously attacking another dog. The older spaniel was dominating the puppy french bull dog. The sales girl just kept on with her pitch until I commented on the situation. The lady who must be a manager and taking care of the dogs just pushed the spaniel aside, but the spaniel kept going after the bull dog puppy. The bull dog was crying as it was being attacked. I did not end up getting a dog from them. Although I would love to buy all their dogs and see this place shut down!

My husband and I got a puppy from here last week. We are totally in love with our little Shiba Inu puppy. They offer a military discount of $ 50. Our puppy has kennel cough, so they gave us his pills. Before we went in we had heard that all the puppies come from puppy mills and may be kept in poor conditions. However, the place looked really clean. He came with AKC registration, and a family tree. They are a little expensive though, and they only offer full payments or puppy leases, so you can pay monthly. The lease will almost triple in price when it gets «assigned» to a company, and there’s a «renters fee» added to the price. Oceanside puppy told me that my puppy was $ 2,300 after taxes. When the lease company got ahold of me, the price had been raised to $ 5,600 or a buy out fee of $ 2,700. Had We known this was how they’d charge us, we probably wouldn’t have gotten our little shiba inu. The leases are three years, and then you have to buy out or pay a fee to give the puppy back. But honestly who would go through spending so much money on (and time loving) a dog for three years and then return him? So if you’re going to buy a puppy from here, it would be smarter to have all the money to pay in full. It would’ve been nice to get a discount seeing as how they were selling me a sick puppy.

I have always rescued animals I have chosen as pets so I am not sure what possessed me to purchase, much less purchase from an establishment like this one. I found the sweetest Female Bullmastiff and decided to take her home. My entire family fell in love with her so it was heartbreaking to have to return her in less than 24 hours. She had blood in her stool so I called the emergency number (the owner) and he INSISTED this was due to her being wormed. Examining her documents closely all vaccinations were done in September. She was wormed 9÷21÷2014. She was purchased 11/​29/​2014. She had another bloody bowel movement. Then in the morning she had another bloody bowel movement. We took her straight to the vet and the vet determined (and wrote a letter) that she was unfit for sale. California Law requires they take the animal back under such conditions so we heartbreakingly did. On the way there she had an accident which was guess what… another (and the worst one) bloody bowel movement. She had so many bloody bowel movements that I’m surprised she didnt need to be given blood for all the blood loss. When we took her back guess what, they still insisted this blood was normal and due to her worming 9÷21÷2014. As a side note: while they claim all the puppies come from reputable CA breeders. Looking at her documents she came from a mill in Montana. Please do yourself and your family members a huge favor and skip this place.
UPDATE: The vet called today with results from the fecal test. She has Giardia, which is very contagious.
UPDATE: ¹²⁄₂₀ Our Great Dane has Giardia. I just spent 160 to treat him.

I had searched all over San Diego for an American Lab (hunting breed). I ended up purchasing a lab puppy from here at the end of August. He was obviously sick– kennel cough. The initial price was shocking. I received several discounts (I think because he was so sick and they wanted him out– kennel cough is very contagious). The discounts brought the price down to a reasonable price for this type of lab.
After treating the kennel cough and coccidia, which took several weeks, his personality really started to come through. He was obviously feeling better. He’s grown to be a fantastic companion for our household.
I’ve tried contacting the breeder because I’d be interested in possibly getting another. I receive TONS of complements on him, «beautiful lab» «fabulous color» «wow! He looks like he’s ready to hunt»
It’s now November, he’s cured of coccidia, but he still has an occasional cough and raspy voice/​bark. I’ve learned to accept the fact that it may be permanent. (His nick name is «Taz» like the cartoon character). I’ve searched and searched for the breeder and have had no such luck. Kind of makes me a little suspicious even though I have received all his AKC paperwork and medical records.
Would I go back here? I’m not sure. I’m the owner of a beautiful dog. He’s in excellent health (excluding the raspy voice). The vet technician really summed it up nicely on our first official doctor check up,“He’s a rescue dog. You’ve rescued him from a pet store.”

I haven’t purchased a puppy here yet because went haven’t found the perfect one. We go there randomly because my grandson loves to go. It’s always clean. The glass cages are clean it’s a showcase to show the puppies. It doesn’t smell. I don’t know if they come from puppy mills but they look healthy and very happy.
I have 2 friends that purchased puppies, they are very happy. They are pricey but so are breeders. I’ve gone to the humane society and rescues that stink, the dogs look sad poop and pee in the cage etc. I understand they have larger facilities and not enough help but maybe I want a dog that I’m not competing with 20 other people. Especially if its a puppy. Some of the dogs have been abused as if they came from a puppy mill.
I get it, there are horrible people in the world that do bad things to animals and to people. I just don’t think this place is like that. And it very obvious that some of these reviews are fake. The owner and employees have always been very nice.
This is my opinion I don’t need any feed back from anyone. I am not an employee nor do I know any of the employees or the owner. Thanks

Went in with my boyfriend looking for a Rottweiler and we had such a great experience that we bought two puppies! I wasn’t expecting to get a dog, but fell in love with a French bulldog. He has all his paperwork. Champion bloodline. He really fits my personality. Very chill.
Great customer service. Everyone was super friendly and was very helpful!
Had an overall great experience. I will definitely refer family and friends.

I really had a great experience here. We are now proud owners of a beautiful Scottish Terrier. Within three days I have taught him to walk w/​a harness around Little Italy. He already is a local celebrity pup. His temperment is perfect & he is already enrolled in Darris Cooper’s training classes.
The customer service was great at OS Puppy & the girls were so knowledgeable about each breed. The dogs are not inexpensive, however so worth it.
Sir Truffle goes for his first Vet experience tomorrow. He seems to be acclimating just great. There are too many pups to resist at the pet shop.

I read all the negative reviews on Oceanside Puppy and I’d have to disagree. The staff was so friendly and helpful! They seemed knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. All the dogs we looked at we happy and playful. We took our new corgi to the vet to get a normal checkup 2 days after we got him and they said he was in perfect health. Overall very satisfied!!!

Thankfully, I was able to get my Boston Terrier puppy out of San Diego Puppy after only a couple days of her being there. The next morning after purchasing her I receive phone call saying, «by the way, your puppy has kennel cough». This kennel cough then immediately turned into pneumonia and our 3 month old, 4 lb puppy was hospitalized for almost a week. We are lucky she survived. She was in horrible shape and gasping for breath. Oceanside/​San Diego Puppy promised us they would pick up the cost of our vet bills (almost $ 1000). After almost 2 MONTHS of having to badger them and chase down the owner and manager, they FINALLY reimburse us for our vet bills. Absolutely horrible professionalism and customer support/​appreciation.
Oceanside/​San Diego Puppy set me up to fail and placed both financial and emotional stress on my entire family. Think twice before doing business with them.

The people who work here really seem to care about these animals, I highly recommend this place! The dogs are super cute and they have a great variety I couldn’t make up my mind!
Me and my husband finally picked a cute lil yorkie, Bella. She is the perfect dog, super happy and healthy! All dogs at the shop are akc registered and come with microchips etc.
If you are looking for a puppy come here! Service is great, puppies are cute, overall great place!

I went in with my family to see some of the puppies. There were two puppies in the playpen by the door playing around. One peed on the floor, and Both were stepping in it and running around.
The staff (4 girls) was not busy as we were the only people in there. They were talking and texting but no one noticed the puppies trampling in pee.
Fast forward 45 min after my kids are done playing with the puppies. The pee is still on the floor. The employees never noticed or cleaned it up.
I wonder, if this is how they act when they are there with nothing to do, how much attention do these puppies get when no one is watching?
Bad customer service, cramped cages, and waaaay overpriced for mutts! Save your money and avoid this place.
