Pets-R-US

We bought our miniature dachshund from here and at 10 weeks he is Perfect… My 9 year old daughter has been pining for a dog for the last few years and finally we gave in because she showed us that she was responsible enough with our friends chihuahua/​blue heeler/​pomeranian mix that she watched and took care of for a good two weeks… We got him home today and just knew immediately that he was already a great fit for our family. At just 10 weeks old he is as perfect as they come and couldn’t ask for any better… The sales/​educator really was very informative about the needs of our new little guy, what he likes and what he doesn’t… What future health ailments to be aware of and his diet awareness. They also recommend their own Vet for the first week checkup and give you a $ 45 credit towards your visit… I would highly recommend taking one of their puppies to come live in your home you won’t be disappointed…

Smaller pet stores these days dont usually have puppies for display, but Pets-​r-​us has about 10 different breeds and many puppies for sale most days. Examples of breeds are: Goldendoodles, Huskies, German Shepard, Shitzu, Poms, Chihuahua, English Bull dog, Yorkies, Aussie Doodles, Terriers of various breeds etc. I’ve heard whisperings about this being a front for puppy mills… all I can say is I hope not. The staff was friendly and let us visit with some of the puppies we were interested in purchasing. They also have bunnies, Chinchillas, guinea pigs, and small reptiles and bird varieties.

We live close, but usually go to Petco. They do a good job at a slightly lower rate. I’d say it depends on your budget.
I’ll go again. I’ll post a picture of my goldendoodle if I can here.

What a terrible store! The puppies are kept in feces riddled cages and I didn’t see food or water dishes either. Also, I saw a large tub with floating dead fish. I would never support this type of establishment. I will give my money to reputable stores that choose to support adoptions over selling dogs that probably came from puppy mills to begin with.

Hands down the dirtiest, most incredible joke of a «pet store» i’ve ever been in. I will tell you right now that they don’t care about the welfare of the animals they sell or care much for their customers, either.
— About 25 – 30 rats of all ages and sizes, male and female, housed together in a twenty gallon aquarium (!) that is only about 8 inches tall. NO other pet store I’ve ever been to houses males and females together, blatantly allowing for them to become impregnated, and if they do, they keep their feeder rats in the back and don’t do it in the public eye.
–Mice were housed the same. Saw a few of them munching on a dead one.
–Betta fish were in brown, slimy water, the dirtiest I’ve EVER seen, let alone at a pet store, where it is their JOB to care for pets.
–Puppies had no food (puppies should be allowed to feed freely), two different ones were sleeping in metal food dishes, as they had no beds. Saw no toy in most cages. Chihuahuas had extremely goopy eyes and peeling toenails. Huskies were the youngest I had ever seen available at a pet store.
*** There were only two employees working the entire store, which was obviously NOT ENOUGH STAFF, as the upkeep is failing miserably even in such a small store, and neither of them said a word to my family as we came, walked around for a good fifteen minutes, and left.
They claim to be «the only store worldwide» (says the sign on the door) to sell Cesar Milan Dog Whisperer treats. If Cesar Milan ever walked into this miserable little pet store, he would DIE. It’s that terrible.
I will never return to this store, except maybe to buy the 5 little bettas in those slimy brown little bowls and find homes for them myself.

Nice, no frills pet store. Got our dog there. Not your fancy chain, but real people. No complaints.
