Employees were rude, im going to keep this short. they are scam artists and now i spent 2300 dollars on a miniature poodle who now after being home for a week has all signs of kennel cough. they dont even care about every individual dogs needs here this place can be summed up in about two works "PUPPY MILLS". I now am having all kinds of trouble getting the "claims" department to help me with my first "free" vet visit so hoepfully my dog doesnt die. these people are evil

We go to Petland for fish and fish supplies. I trust the advice of the employees, which keeps me coming back. Thank you for the opportunities you have opened to us!

They were all very helpful and catered to my needs to get my dog healthy.

Compared with dogs obtained as puppies from noncommercial breeders, dogs obtained as puppies from pet stores had significantly greater aggression toward human family members, unfamiliar people, and other dogs; greater fear of other dogs and nonsocial stimuli; and greater separation-related problems and house soiling.Conclusions and Clinical Relevance�Obtaining dogs from pet stores versus noncommercial breeders represented a significant risk factor for the development of a wide range of undesirable behavioral characteristics. Until the causes of the unfavorable differences detected in this group of dogs can be specifically identified and remedied, the authors cannot recommend that puppies be obtained from pet stores.

I have worked at Petland and was disgusted. They encourage you to sell dogs on impulse, because if people actually leave the store and think about the commitment, they are less likely to come back. In addition, they don't tell you that the "local" and "reputable" breeders are puppy mills. For example, they use Top Notch, a mill notorious for animal cruelty. They also claim that they are helping local shelters; but the fact of the matter is local shelters won’t work with Petland. They have to go all the way to Tipton to say they are “doing a good deed”. Don’t buy a dog at Petland when there are amazing dogs for adoption at shelters and rescues.

Sasha is now 5 a 5 month old white retriever. She's the best dog I have ever had. She's smart, healthy and very fun. She knows many tricks and she's always a lot of fun at the dog park. Thanks so much!

3 and a half years ago, our family visited this Petland. We had just lost our yellow lab tha past fall to illness and was not looking for another, but a little Bichon, who now call Teddy, touched our hearts and convinced us to take him home. Thank you Petland for bringing such a wonderful dog into our lives.

Just purchased and amazing puppy in good health. A great addition to our family. Thanks!

I am always greeted on the floor whether if I am just running in real quick to buy a bag of food or browsing the isles, someone always asks if I need any help.

We found our perfect pet at Petland and we couldn't be more grateful. It's hard to be sad when he is around. He is so smart and always learning new tricks. He rings a bell by the door when he needs to go out, how cute is that?!

Before I got my French bulldog, Ozzie, I had no hobbies. Now I am outside all the time playing with my little buddy. He goes on walks with me, goes fishing with me and he even rides in my truck when I run errands. Ozzie gives me reason to get up in the morning and to come home at night. No matter what happens, I know he will be right there by my side.

We buy all of our fish here. They are all healthy and the employees here are very helpful and are always full of knowledge.

I'm a new dog owner and this will definitely be my go to pet shop from now on. The girl who helped was very kind and knowledgeable.

We got Gizmo in 2007, he is a Sheltie. We had a great experience with the staff here. They helped us choose him and went around the store to get all the supplies we needed for the first few months.

I just came here looking for a new pet, preferably something low maintenance like a fish. But I ended up falling in love with a soft-coated Wheaten Terrier. Wow! Such a great dog! So glad I decided to come in!

This is honestly one of the better pet stores I've been to because it's clean, smells nice, and is organized. If something is out of stock upfront, a helpful employee will kindly get it for you from the back.

I've gotten all 4 of my puppies from this Petland. They're usually the best part of my day. The employees here are friendly and nice. They know a lot about the pets they have and the products they sell.

I bought my cat and puppy from Petland. Both of these pets have constantly kept me motivated and also entertained. There's never a dull moment in my place and I wouldn't change it for the world!

I have been collecting fish and corals from Petland for many years. The corals I have give me many hours of enjoyment. My favorite thing to do is tinker with my fish tanks. They are more than pets to me, they're my hobby.

I got a blue mushroom coral here and it's a stunning addition to my tank. The staff was helpful in picking out the coral that would suit the low-lighting in my tank. I would highly recommend this store to any marine enthusiast.
