And hoped to get her established with a new vet. But the morning of the appointment my puppy got sick and puked. They let me come in right when they opened. She was there for hours and I had to be the one to call to get updates. They told me I could come back at 5pm to get my dog and they'd go over things with me from there. They said I could take her home over night. But pushed for me to bring her back in the morning. It's now 5:20pm. They close at 5:30pm. They waited literally all day to tell me that she needs to be seen at a 24 hour clinic. She "may not make it through the night " said Dr Brown. The other assistants heavily suggested she is SO SO sick. They wanted to blame my breeder from the get go. Even before they got her tested. My breeder is an AKC certified breeder and I've been close to them and I trust them. This vet office used all kinds of pressure and scare tactics for me to go to their affiliated 24 hour care facilities. An assistant told me two people that work at Carolina Animal hospital also work at the same 24 hour clinic. They gave me meds for my puppy, but did not explain anything about them to me as they rushed me out .. I called a 24 hour clinic that I trusted & was an AKC clinic, and they told me it's safe to keep her home. It's not necessary to bring her in tonight. She was happy and playful with me when I took her home. And don't see how they thought she "may not make it through the night". I brought my puppy to another clinic and their prices are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the $1234.05 bill that this insane place charged me. They charged me twice for a radiologist to view the x rays that were taken. My mom is a radiologist and used to work for a vet clinic, and she says they completely took advantage of me with everything they charged me for. They over did a bunch of different things that weren't necessary just to rack my bill up. This place will do everything to guilt trip you into spending more money. I had a leptospirosis test be charged $120 here. And $37 at the new place I went. Insane. Save your money and stress, DO NOT COME HERE. They pay people for good reviews. I'm absolutely disgusted by the service I received.

They'd just had to close for (10 days?) a Covid outbreak amongst their groomers/employees, and on the first day they were back open, no one wore a mask. I stood far from the desk and refused to come any closer until the associate helping me put one on, but as soon as she went to the back to get my dog, it came right back off. And I could tell she was talking about me as soon as she got back there because everyone still in the grooming room turned to look at me. Perhaps they thought it was a hoax up until it affected their business to the point of having to close, you would think this would be the wake up call to mask up, but it was not. If you care about mask wearing, be weary going here.

Edited to reply to the "business": The only reason Tripp won his suit against me, is because he…read moresued me person to person. The reason I lost my countersuit was because I sued Tripp back, when I should have sued Labpups.com LLC instead for the false advertisement that led to the purchase of a dog that gave me hell for the last year, before having to be rehomed due to detrimental behaviors with my other animals and young children. It was a technicality that Tripp played all too well with his court room experience. The judge stated for the record (which I can provide proof of), that I do indeed have a case against Labpups.com LLC for the issues I've stated, so do with that as you wish. Please heed my warning on not doing business with these people, as I should have done myself from the multitude of bad reviews dating back even before mine (some going as far as a decade ago). Thank you for reading. -------- I had a very troubling experience with LabPups.com LLC and Tripp Wood Jr. and I strongly urge anyone considering this company to proceed with extreme caution. I would not recommend this breeder based on my experience. I was sold a puppy at around "7" weeks old, while federal guidelines recommend 8 weeks minimum for separating a puppy from its litter, and in hindsight I believe the timing may have contributed to some of the issues I experienced. The dog was advertised as an "AKC non-hyper family" dog, but that description did not match reality at all. My dog was extremely high-energy, difficult to manage, and nowhere near the calm, family-friendly temperament that was promised. It felt very misleading compared to what I was told before bringing him home. Raising a puppy always requires effort, but this went far beyond normal expectations and made the transition much more challenging than it should have been. This being said, Tripp Jr. offered a board and train 3-week program. While my dog was in their care for the program, my dog returned with injuries that were not communicated to me at any point during the training process. This was extremely upsetting, and I will be attaching photo documentation so others can see exactly what I observed upon my dog's return. In addition to that, the training itself fell far short of what was represented. Based on my experience, the results did not meet reasonable expectations and did not align with the agreement that was discussed beforehand. Within a month he was back to prior behaviors, if not worse than before. I would also strongly recommend that any business dealings be handled directly through the LLC with clear written agreements and documented terms. Based on my experience, it's important to avoid informal arrangements or side agreements with individuals and to keep everything structured, documented, and transparent from the start. When going to court, it's easy to deflect blame to the LLC instead of the individual, as I unfortunately learned myself today. Because of these concerns, I encourage others to do thorough research before moving forward. You can search publicly available records here and just search "Tripp Wood" where you'll see results of litigation on both the father and son that run this business: https://portal-nc.tylertech.cloud/Portal/Home (spoiler alert, not the first time they've been to court!) I recommend asking detailed questions, getting everything in writing, and carefully evaluating whether this company is the right fit before trusting them with an addition to your family, or any level of obedience training.

DO NOT trust Tripp Wood…read more Tripp advertised and sold us a "Brindle" Chocolate Lab for $4,500 -- a $2,000 premium over his standard $2,500 price. The dog we received is a standard Chocolate Lab. He does not have a speck of brindle coloring. When I asked Tripp to refund the $2,000 premium we paid for a characteristic the dog simply does not have, his response was: "You don't set my prices. How about you man up and accept responsibility for your own decisions?" That response says a lot about how he handles a legitimate customer complaint. Tripp has suggested returning/replacing the dog or providing another puppy. Neither resolves the issue. We love our dog and are not returning him, and a replacement would involve substantial additional travel and medical expenses. We also already own three Labs and cannot simply add another dog. The solution was straightforward: refund the $2,000 premium charged for the advertised brindle coat that we did not receive. Tripp refused to do so and told me he did not have the money to refund it. I've attached photos so people can judge for themselves: one showing an example of an actual brindle coat and one showing the Chocolate Lab we received. We paid $4,500 based on how this puppy was represented. Had he been accurately represented as a standard Chocolate Lab, we would not have paid the $2,000 premium. Based on our experience, I would not trust Tripp Wood when purchasing a puppy. --- UPDATE: In his response, Tripp attempts to explain Milo's appearance by claiming that brindle markings can change in "intensity, coverage, and visibility" as a dog ages. That completely misses the issue. Milo was never brindle. Embark Veterinary reviewed photographs of Milo both as a puppy and as he appears today. Their team stated that Milo "appears not to be brindle (currently or in the very cute puppy picture)" and explained that what was visible in his puppy coat was "what breeders call fever coat," an anomaly at birth that disappears as the puppy's normal coat grows in. So whether a genuine brindle coat can change with age is beside the point. According to Embark's review, Milo wasn't a brindle puppy whose markings later disappeared. He had fever coat and was never brindle. Also troubling is Tripp's reference to a supposed "pre-sale FAQ" explaining these coat changes. That FAQ language was added to his website AFTER I contacted him about Milo and raised this issue. It was not a disclosure provided to us before the sale. I have documentation of this. We paid $4,500 -- a $2,000 premium over his normal $2,500 price -- specifically because Milo was represented and sold as a Brindle Chocolate Lab. Once it became clear that he was not brindle, we asked Tripp to refund only that $2,000 premium. He refused. Returning a dog who had become part of our family or accepting another puppy does not correct the original transaction. We paid a $2,000 premium for a brindle dog. Embark's assessment is that Milo was never brindle. ___ Update, Since Tripp keeps changing his response: Tripp is correct that we previously purchased three Labs from him. That history is precisely why this experience has been so disappointing. We trusted him based on those previous purchases. Rather than supporting his position, our history demonstrates that we were satisfied repeat customers who had no reason to manufacture a complaint. We raised this issue because this transaction was different: Milo was specifically represented and sold as brindle at a substantial premium, and Embark subsequently concluded that he IS NOT brindle even in his puppy photograph. Everyone can see he is NOT Brindle. Dishonest people will be dishonest. Tripp and Tripper are perfect examples of that. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
