overpriced as hell .I ended up paying 4100 or 4800 i don't even know for a mini poodle and after reading the reviews i hope she is healthy .

I find it very disappointing that you would tell customers one thing at the time of purchase in order to sell the puppy, but then the information turns out not to be true. I was told that the vaccines and tests would be covered so that I could have peace of mind and properly check my puppy's health after bringing him home. However, now I am being told that this is not covered, which is very frustrating and feels misleading. read more

I do not recommend Petland at all; it is the worst place to buy a pet. Check the paperwork thoroughly before leaving the store so you don't end up with a bad experience--it is all one big lie. read more

THERE WERE BABY ROACHES IN MY DOGS PET FOOD AND they didn't want to return within 24 hours! Full story: I was considering to own a pup here, GLAD I DIDN'T because they're pushy and extremely nice just to sell you a dog. I see now Management doesn't care after that! I came back here because they sell the Brand Nutrisource that I was all out of for my new puppy, the brand is sold in limited places. I buy it and served it only to notice one of the crumbs was moving and it was a BABY ROACH ! My husband checks the bag and there's a small beetle inside it. That was enough for me, I have a PHOBIA with bugs in my home, especially baby roaches, so I quickly TRIPLE bag it and simply think to put it by the door to return tomorrow. When I get there, I tell them what happened but I add for assurance that "it's ok, I'm sure it's on the manufacturing of the brand than the store." They tell me they can't accept it if it's open. Idk how it can make SENSE for me to find out their inventory has roaches in their food if I didn't open it. They told me that can't happen. But I show them my receipt, I HAD JUST bought it within 24 hours and I open all the bags and show them how full it is. It's new just open. When she was going back to ask the manager, I had to ask her to take my receipt to show them. If anything I'M looking out telling THEM there's roaches in that inventory so they can handle it with precaution with their vendor. To my surprise, THEY DIDN'T CARE!? It blows my mind how a few days back I had a manager trying to convince us on a puppy and the sales associate telling us to "see if we qualify" because their prices are much higher than others with all that they try to sell you but we wanted to pay in cash and didn't find the dog we wanted. But this time when I had a simple issue, the manager didn't even care to come out to talk to me or check the bag. I cannot imagine how disconcerting it would be to have invested so much and turned away over having simple issues with their food. Because of a simple bag of dog food that isnt taking serious I will never recommend dog people to trust these people to uphold quality. read more

Petland Kendall - There were BABY ROACHES in my dog food and they don't care. - Pet Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

Petland is absolutely disgusting. They do not care at all about the puppies they sell -- all they care about is money. The people working there will lie straight to your face just to make a sale. A few hours after bringing my puppy home, he got seriously sick. That means he was already sick while still at Petland -- they just hid it. When I spoke to them, instead of taking any responsibility, they tried to blame me, saying ridiculous things like "oh, you must have taken him on the street." They'll say anything to cover up their own neglect. I even have a friend who worked there who confirmed that the managers knowingly sold a very ill puppy because they "didn't care" and just wanted the sale. That says everything you need to know about what kind of people run that place. Petland is a greedy, heartless company that treats their animals like products, not living beings. If you care about animals at all, DO NOT go to Petland. You'll end up heartbroken, angry, and with a sick puppy that they'll refuse to take responsibility for. read more

Anthony was very helpful. My son had a very good time playing with the dogs and he can't wait to come back.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. I adopted a dachshund here, and the staff misled me about the costs. They said the payment would be $80/month with no interest for 12 months, but the total bill ended up almost $9,000--way more than the $5,000 they quoted. They added charges without my consent, taking advantage of my lack of financial knowledge. After adoption, my puppy got very sick with Giardia. They only partially reimbursed vet costs despite recommending their own vet and promising full coverage. It's clear they don't properly check the puppies' health before adoption. I feel completely ripped off--sold a sick puppy and burdened with massive bills. Be cautious. read more

I bought 2 bones for my dog they cost 15$ the receipt says they will take the items back within 30 days I had the receipt and paid cash the lady said that they couldn't return it because the item was opened nothing in the receipt says anything about the packaging. They didn't return it and on top of that the lady was very dismissive read more

Puppies are overpriced for common breeds And the interest rate is a joke. A hard pass for me. I rather buy dogs from private owners then to pay 5k for a Chihuahua. read more

DO NOT trust this place. They treat the animals horribly and any animal older than 3 months is going to have trauma and fear for the rest of his/her life. I know, I got a 7 month old German Shepherd from there that I had to give to a shelter because he refused to listen to any commands because he's spoiled. They never trained him, never took him on walks, or fed him properly. He had liquid fecal matter for days because they fed him nothing but cheap soft treats. He doesn't know how to walk properly and gets tired and scared VERY easily. I had to sit there with him at the park calling him into the car until someone came and called animal rescue because I told them I'm a absolutely done with him. I've had many dogs and I've never seen one this bad. I'm tired of carrying him everywhere like a baby. He's almost mature. Most dogs are ready to breed at 6 months, he's not. I talked to multiple trainers who all agreed he's special needs. It's their fault he's like this. I even called and tried to explain but the LADY (same lady who admitted to giving him only "treats") at the shelter refused to listen or even offer a refund. It took 20 minutes just for her to transfer me to someone else so they could tell me there's no returns. 6k down the drain. read more

Me and my husband weren't planning on getting a puppy this day. We both got cleanings at the dentist next door and walked in to this Petland. One thing I have to note is that the employees are always willing to help and let you play with any puppy you set your eyes on. A CURSE AND A BLESSING! Because not even 10 minutes in playing with this little black chow chow, did I fall in love. We had to take him home and Yuliana was a great help with that. She wasn't too pushy like most employees at pet stores and she assured us answers with any question we had. One of the sweetest and helped us through the credit approval process along with explaining everything we needed to know about our new little chow chow. Can't thank her enough so I figured a review is a good start! Haha **** Yelp didn't let me attach the photos so I took a picture of the photos I wanted to add in **** read more

My review is based on my experience visiting the store and seeing the puppies. I did not purchase anything. My friend and I visited the store while waiting for OneBlood to open. I had never been to a Petland before, so this was my first time. The puppies are placed in clean spaces with glass for people to look in. Photos aren't allowed and there are signs everywhere with a line slashing through a camera icon. An employee came right up to us asking if we needed help and offered to show us the puppy that we liked. We said we were just browsing for now. There were variety of puppies--chihuahuas, golden retrievers, boxers, german shepherds, shih tzu's, rottweilers, schnauzer, a shiba inu mixed with another breed, pugs, and more. Another employee came up to us and told us about the puppies, benefits of getting puppies from Petland, lifetime guarantees, unlimited vet visits, pet training classes, etc. It seemed too good to be true. We were eyeing the puppy mixed with shiba inu and something else, so the employee offered to let us play with it. He instructed us to wait at a puppy pen area, then came back with the puppy. It was so playful and cute. I kind of fell in love and kept playing with it and petting it. Then the employee asked us if we wanted to see the pug because we were looking at him earlier too. So he came back with the pug called Bean. He seemed confused, I think because he had just woken up, and then bounced around with so much energy. He was really cute and adorable. Before leaving, I asked the employee if they have any brochures or information that I can look at later and he handed me a piece of handout with his name on it to keep. He was very helpful and nice, full of resources. However, I am only researching for now and looking around with no intention to buy. I heard and read about the high prices of puppies at all Petland locations, and cannot afford that. The benefits seem too good to be true but I also read a lot of reviews online about people's experiences at Petland, so I feel iffy about this place now. After visiting Petland, if I were to get a puppy, I decided that I would for sure adopt/rescue instead of buying. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I previously purchased a dog in 2019 with them and everything with perfect and smooth sailings. Under new ownership it's a different story. Less than 48 hours ago, I purchased a female Dalmatian. Unfortunately my apartment complex is not allowing her due to a neighbors complaint of breed and previous history with the breed. The dog listens to no commands and only responds to eating treats. Not even her own food will she eat and it sits there. I walk into the store and explain my situation thinking I'm going to be met with compassion and understanding, little did I know, when the worker called his "higher up" it was a phone call lasting no more than 30 seconds, The owners, obviously money hungry and just wanting to get rich quick and not care about the customer, wouldn't even allow an exchange of pets, even after I took her to the vet and they told me she was behind on her vaccinations when they should be vaccinating her properly for her health. This place absolutely disgusts me and it is also my fault for falling into their trap again. You would think after spending almost 6k you would be met with some compromise especially since it is in a 48 hour window. Most Petland locations accept exchanges within this window, clearly this one doesn't because they couldn't care less about their customers and puppies as well. I URGE YOU AND I BEG ANYONE THAT THINKS PETLAND IS A GOOD PLACE AND WILL GIVE YOU A FOREVER PUPPY, IT IS A SCAM. Do not go here or to any Petland for that sake. Even after saying I have no one to give her up to, I have no choice but to go to my local no kill shelter, they wouldn't remotely think of helping me out. Absolutely disgusting, to the couple who owns this place, I hope you are never met with such harsh treatment as I was met with. read more

These people treat their pups horrible I witnessed a baby pup eating his own fecal matter. He did so well such ease you can tell it wasn't the first time.

Juan and Diego helped us get out puppy today. It all started in the morning as soon as they opened. I called to check availability and they got us in to see her immediately. We went it and they helped us meet her, making the process easier for us to fall in love with the her. We said yes and throughout the whole financing process, helping us learn about the care and needs of the puppy, everything went by smoothly and easily. If someone ever goes to this store, definitely ask for Juan or Diego and they will give you the best help ever. read more

This organization, while seemingly friendly, does not convey all their details when regarding their contracts.

Overcharging for pets and their lack of telling customers what is on their contract is why I deemed this place 1 star, which is the minimum score. read more

Santi shoes is a few puppies and was really informative on all the services provided when you purchase a pet from them. Thank you

You are better off purchasing from an online ad. Don't believe their guarantee or the marketing that they care for their puppies. They don't care for the puppies and they certainly don't care for their customers. We purchased our puppy in December 2021 and within 10 hours of paying an enormous amount of money (because we wanted a healthy pet, one that was raised with love, and cared for, and brought a guarantee) we were at the vet. The puppy was SO sick, and it was so contagious, I went to the store immediately after and told them to look into the other puppy that shared a space w ours. I also inquired about the over $1,000 vet bill I had to pay and was told to submit it to their insurance and it would be paid. That was 4 months ago. I've gone to the store several times and the manager is never there and has never attempted to call me back. The worst service. The worst prices since their guarantee means nothing, and they don't care about their pets. Will never purchase there again. Side note: after months of treatment and and vet bills uncovered, our puppy is doing great! read more

Petland Kendall - The only good thing to come out of our PetLand experience--even if we came out of pocket thousands of dollars to get him well. - Pet Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

Stay away from this business. Begin to run.... You are assaulted without even feeling they are abusing you. My daughter was seduced to purchasing a puppy that will cost her $5600!! My daughter was asked to sign tons of paperwork to finance this dog seeing her vulnerability and the obvious which is her limitations to care for herself, much less care for the dog. She is on a wheelchair, hard of hearing, has a caretaker to help her with her necessities, and cannot read or write. My daughter took the dog back within 18 hours and was told she cannot return the dog. Bella, the business owner, determined she cannot return the dog. She is brutal and with no empathy watching everything that was taking place right in front of her eyes. DO NOT BUY any dog from her business. She saw this young sales person pushing this sale on my daughter and allowed the episode to happen! A heartless person of this nature should be selling non-living things. Pathetic! read more

I went to Petland in Kendall and I had great service. Elaney was the one that helped us in the purchasing of the dog. She really gave me all the details on the dog. Paul, the manager was also very helpful. He genuinely showed how much he cared for the dog. He even showed me a video of him playing fetch with our dog. It was really a pleasure to deal with this Petland. read more

Petland Kendall - Timmy at home - Pet Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

I cannot even put into words what we experienced at Petland, Kendall, FL Their dogs looked terribly sick and sedated. Many of them come in dead or very sick and then they are sold off to the public, please do not buy their lies, They purchase their dogs from a Puppy Mill owned by Mark Yoder in Bloomfield, Iowa at 15910 240th St Bloomfield, IA 52537. Mr. Mark Yoder is on the Horrible 100 list of dog breeders/Puppy Mills. After further research, we have seen the horrendous conditions that these dogs live in on a day to day basis. Still trying to figure out how any human being can be this callous is beyond me. Petland Kendall as well as all other Petland's purchase these dogs from Mark at an extremely low rate then sells them off at 6K-20K, most of these dogs are sick and not even pure breeds. Please, Please, Please do not buy dogs from any of these or any other petstores. Please use reputable private breeders read more

THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. My puppy was sick when I brought her home. Just 2/3 days after we brought her home she had serve diarrhea. She had Giardia. The vet they send you to has the worst review I've ever seen. Overcharging people, misdiagnosing the puppy, & much more. The lifetime guarantee is bs. You have to take them to the vet they pick for you?? Because they're partnered. I wonder why... The no interest financing is another lie. My loan is now charging a 24% interest on the thousands of dollars we spent on her. Not to mention all the vet visits we've paid for since she was sick when we got her. I will never ever buy another puppy from petland and I definitely will tell all our friends and family to never go there because I can't believe the amount of lies we were fed to buy her. She is an amazing puppy and we love her so much but I have so much stress and anxiety every time I leave her alone because I'm afraid she's going to be sick. It absolutely disheartening and frustrating. I already emailed corporate so let's see if we can get somewhere. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I beg of you to do your research before buying from petland. They guarantee they are buying from the TOP usda's breeders.. that is false information! I've gone many times to see puppies google any of the breeders names they put on the birth certificate and you will see they are linked to puppy mills!! Do your research please!! You willll be buying a sick puppy! If you have to get a puppy go see reputable breeders and make sure all puppies are genetically tested! Shame on you petland for working with puppy mills .. on top of charging $7,000+ for a SICK PUPPY MILL PUPPY and during a Pandemic!!!! Side note .. all their google reviews are FAKE! Just like them and the Poor young adults they have working for them who don't know any better. Just SAD! read more

I should have read the reviews prior! Found the perfect puppy on their website. I called ahead to assure the price was within our price range prior to getting our hopes up. They would not provide information on the phone. We went anyways. Waited an hour for the sales person despite having an " appointment ". We were so excited as the dog was perfect! The quote was $7200 ! This is insane! It says average price for that breed online is $1500-2500. How in the world did they get to $7200! That is just exorbitant! I was so upset they made us go through that experience and have my kids heart broken. I never expected triple what the average is. It was terrible to see my kids so sad after spending an hour with the puppy. Not worth it to go. Do not even waste your time. read more

Update: I continued my search for our puppy and found another black, miniature Goldendoodle, a week older from "Forever Love Puppies". I bought it for $4200 under HALF the price that Petland was offering. The Staff were super friendly and informative and it came with similar extras that Petland was offering. I'm literally in shock at Petlands unprofessionalism and extremely high - price gauging due to COVID prices. With all the bad reviews and very bad media regarding puppy mills you'd think Petland would be making the extra effort to ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience but $9500 for a small puppy is BEYOND a joke. I urge everyone to avoid at all costs - Try Forver Love Puppies instead! read more

Friendly staff eager to sell with a very clean facility except their concept of selling you a cute, cuddly puppy will cost you more than the birth of a child, truth!! They "care" for the animals because it's a family owned money pit however, their best interest isn't to help a dog find their forever home but instead make you take out a second mortgage on your home so you can bring a fur baby into your family. It's so sad, I left heartbroken. read more

Scummy place that sells dogs from breeders for thousands of dollars. The kicker is that most of these are mixes that are available from rescues for FREE with the same evaluation and, in many cases, better health. Stop supporting this filth. ADOPT a dog or puppy.

Literally can't believe the treatment I got from this place. Went there on a Sunday two hours before they were scheduled to close and I can't even get in. The doors are locked. And standing in front of them is a group of every employee, sitting around chilling and chatting. I try to open the door and they just stare. Once I start to walk away, some of the male employees start harassing me. They open the door and shout out, "do you want a kiss?" "Hey come back!" Later on, two employees walk out and one of them shouts to me "he likes you" "he wants to kiss you!" "Why don't you go out with him?" "Is my smile pretty" I can't even believe it. Never in my life have I been met with something like this. I hope this petland corrects itself. read more

Petland Kendall - Workers closed early and thought it was funny. - Pet Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

Despite all the bad reviews....I had a good experience at the store. Yes...the puppies are probably over priced and you will be able to get them cheaper elsewhere...but I ended up buying a puppy that just arrived that day from the breeders and had such a unique look that I couldn't resist. I had no issues with her health. She is well socialized and has no behavioral issues. What they offer is a bit of a marketing machine....but if you can afford it...from what I could see they offer very healthy puppies. Of course I would have preferred and definitely recommend to buy directly from a breeder...but if u find the perfect puppy (and I have been picky).....then you are willing to pay a little extra to get it. read more

Five THOUSAND DOLLARS for a dachshund??? I told these people they were literally out of their mind. It didn't even cost that much for the birth of my daughter!!! And the dog we wanted looked a bit emaciated as well. Of course, the price was justified by the AKC title, the endless vet visits for a year, the fact that the puppies were related to Prince William, etc. But I'm sorry, guys. I could've adopted a child for a cheaper price. Just buy from a reputable breeder and save your money. read more

Only good thing that came out of our experience is our puppy. Wonderful puppy but not worth the price. Prices are insane.

Update, they told me the documents provided of the breed are "not official" and still won't connect me to management. Instead they loop me between a retail store number that can only make reservations to meet and buy more pets or "PetCare solutions" which offers no solutions. Petland, if you are reading this, remove solutions from your 3rd party "claims department". PetCare solutions is an illusion of a "claims department" that employs inexperienced people to hear you complain and cry and refer you to attorneys that aren't affiliated. This place is a dead end full of lies. But it's ok, there is a major case being built against them right now that will be reaching a federal level very soon. Take it to small claims court and fight it with a judge. Don't waste your time. Stead clear and take your business else where. read more

hopes to get a doggo and was told I could maybe get pre-approved for credit. I figured sure what's the harm in checking right? After realizing the dog I wanted was $6,000 to which I had no business spending so much money on, I left. At last 2 weeks later I receive a credit card in the mail from Petland with a $9,300 credit limit. Apparently "checking" locks you into a freaking credit card with this company. I had to sit on the phone being transferred back & forth for 20 minutes trying to get it reversed. SAVE YOURSELF THE DECEIT & ADOPT A DOG FROM A SHELTER. read more

Upon walking into Petland, I noticed the floor was somewhat sticky. (This is just after they had opened at 10:00 AM, to give you an idea that it wasn't the amount of foot traffic on a busy day) As I walked along the display kennels looking at the various type puppies they had here, i noticed a few of them had urine stained paws and a few that appeared to have eye issues. I would be wary of purchasing a pet from here. read more

Went to this place to find a dog and every single dog there was covered in urine and feces. I also saw a dog that had blood on its back and all over the glass. This place is absolutely disgusting. The owner either needs to shut down or actually care what these dogs look like or the conditions their in. The faculty and staff never greeted me when I walked in and smelt like dog urine. This place is a huge health concern for these dogs. Do not buy from here. read more

Do your homework, you will find a great pet for a lot less. We were looking for a miniature labradoodle and end up going to this Petland as they promote of having many pets on site, which they do. After looking around we spoke with one of the associates and advised her what we were looking for and she pointed out a miniature goldendoodle which is close to the breed we were looking for. (This is after we did a lot of research on the internet with qualified well reputed breeders). The dog was very energetic and very cute and I have to admit that I was falling in love with the dog, we had a great chemistry. After spending 20 minutes with the dog and others it was time to ask how much they wanted for the dog. The associate brought a tablet depicting all of the benefits provided by PetLand and also with a lot of pictures of vets and training and blah blah blah. After the small presentation she advised me the dog was 5, and waited a few seconds and then said 5,000. I was like my ears were not good. After doing many months of research we figure the average of a good mini labradoodle is from 1200-2500, 2500 being the top rarest colors. The associate told us, we can work on the price and we can finance 100%, so she is going to discount around 3500? The problem I see is that you are looking for a companion and at those prices and this economy I can't see too many people spending all that money in a pet. Then the dogs gets older and then they start lowering the prices to get rid of them when they can be already in a home being trained by the new family. Even if you travel out of state to get a dog from a reputable breeder, you still are going to save a lot of money. No wonder when I called last week inquiring about a dog in another Petland and ask the price they told me that they do not give prices over the phone, no wonder. Feel bad for families that take small children and fall in love and their parent have no choice but to finance an animal that they can get for a lot less if only they do their research. I have tried to adopt from animal shelters but unfortunately it is hard to find what you are looking for due to allergies and home space. I would stay away from PetLand. They are overpricing these animals which is not fair for them nor you. read more

Petland Kendall showed up on my instagram as an ad and I saw that they had a certain type of dog that I really wanted. I decided to visit the location after a friend of mine told me that she recently bought a dog there. She told me that at the location customers could interact with the puppies. She raved that their customer service was above and beyond, and that she definitely recommends me checking the place out. I decided to go with the same friend who purchased a dog from here after our nursing clinical. When we walked into Petland on a slow afternoon, nobody greeted us. I had to chase down an associate to get their attention. After telling the associate that I was interested in interacting with a dog, I was asked for my ID because apparently there was an age policy (21 +). I left my ID in my car, and after returning to the store, the associate didn't even look at it! He instructed us to wait at a puppy pen area, then came back with the puppy I was interested in. The puppy was super adorable and cute, but not quite what I was expecting or hoping for. I asked the employee if I could see a different puppy, but he told me that it was only "1 play per visit." How can I decide on purchasing a pet if I am only allowed to interact with 1 puppy at a time? My friend asked him when the policy was changed because when she visited in January with her bf, they played with multiple puppies before settling on one. The employee then proceeds to tell us that this was a new policy that was implemented a week ago?!?! I'm pretty sure the employee lied directly to our faces, because I approached one of the visiting customers that I saw playing with multiple puppies in 1 visit and asked if the associate mentioned the same policy to them and they shook their head and said no. They also told me that they had ZERO intentions of purchasing because the prices were outrageous and way over priced! She told me that a french bulldog was $9000!!! My friend and I then noticed a couple came into the store, they were immediately greeted by an associate and were provided with unlimited attention. My friend was super upset, because this was completely different from when her and her bf were treated when they visited the store. Maybe it was the way we were dressed or could be that we didn't come with our S.O. but this is no way to treat a customer and I am super disappointed in the way Petland Kendall employees approached and interact their customers. Do not go here unless you have so much money and not knowing what to do with it! P.S. the employee was a young male employee with a top knot/ponytail. read more
