Rias Gremory Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well my parents decided to surprise me by gifting me a beagle puppy that I have been asking forever last week. I was sooo happy. Today, I asked my parents in what store they bought the puppy. So I was curious and Googled the store. And I found this... Read the comments http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15241711808/puppies-r-love-inc-miami They sell puppies with mortal diseases or just sick. I found my dog coughing and sneezing (not a lot) but my parents told me that puppies can cough sometimes since they dont have well developed lungs. But now that I read all those comments on that page... I am getting sick worried. D: THEY EVEN MADE A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ABOUT THAT PLACE! http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2010-12-30/news/puppies-r-love-sells-sick-canines/ This is getting worst D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 That's terrible what they're doing over there... I'm sorry to hear that. Have you tried taking your puppy to a vet for a checkup yet? Better safe than sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rias Gremory Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I just made my mom make an appointment. But still if my dog is sick... they wont even respond. Like to the other people... they will just ignore it. And worst.. with all the complains and reports made to the Florida Puppy Lemon Law and they didnt even bothered to get in the case! ISNT THAT THEY'RE JOB! they have been selling sick puppies for 4 years D: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelp' Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Are you taking them to the store for a check-up or the veterinarian? Odds are the vet won't ignore you. Well, hope your puppy's ok. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Random Dude Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 You parents are like mine. My sister hit her head pretty hard, prolly got a concussion. Mom's reaction. "Put Vick's on it." About your dog, take it to the vet. They should know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rias Gremory Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 what I meant by the store guys ignoring people is that pet stores in Miami are suppose to give you money back within like 1 year if the dog dies. Or if the dog gets sick it has to be within 3 weeks after buying him. Most people got ignored or got tricked by them by charging them $100 so those b****** will check them. I mean! THEY SELL FREAKING SICK DOGS! THEY DONT KNOW S*** ABOUT DOGS! Vets off course wont ignore you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Your parents should always check the background of place before even thinking about buying them. I brought my puppy through a friend of my next door neighbour, but one, she and my mum went several times to see where the breeder was and see the health of the dogs before selecting which puppy to pick (The runt of the litter), and she was nice enough to be cautious and made us wait another 4 weeks to pick him up, because he was so small compared to his litter mates. (Appart from an umbilical hernia which we didn't notice until he was groomed (which will probably be fine for the rest of his life), everything he has now are either natural in the breed (such as bad knees) or developed naturally (his dry eye) and an undershot jaw, he's absolutely fine) My next door neighbour, but one got her new puppy on recommendation from a friend, she was allowed to see the puppy she picked with her parents, see the vaccinations had been done and find out the type of food to start her on. (The poor puppy cried all the way home, but there's not a thing wrong with her, she's like a greyhound in a Yorkshire Terrier's body) Basically your parents should have, checked the background, ask about health of the parents (this will tell you possible inherited conditions your puppy might have or develop) and ask to visit your selected puppy. Some breeders will have vaccinated the puppy before you pick it up, and have found a food the puppy has settled on. I advice you get pet insurance ASAP, before you go the vet, because any conditions the vet finds will not be covered if its the otherway around. You might find that your puppy has nothing serious wrong, or something like dog flu or kennel cough, but get it to the vet. Better to be safe than sorry.

.Nu-13 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Too lazy to type a wall of text, but as everyone said, visit a vet with your puppy. Though coughing and sneezing can be normal, my puppy was doing the same until he was like 3-4 months. Vet said nothing's wrong with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 My dog had a bout of sneezing and coughing, but it was combo of his Kennel Cough vaccine and his Dry Eye eyedrops causing him to sneeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish ~ Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 No offense to your parents, but shouldn't people KNOW about the place they are buying from? As for me, I have a dog and I bought from a store my uncle works on.But yes, take it to the vet and it'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rias Gremory Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yea... I think the same about my parents. It was sweet that they decided to suprise me but they should have at least checked some info on the place. O well whats done its done. I hope I dont become one of their victims.
