Yesterday, March 5th, 2026 I took my cat Mr. Meowgi into the Idaho Humane Society Medical Center to…read morebe evaluated due to a serious respiratory issue that he has been experiencing. I explained my concerns about Meowgi's persistent cough and Doctor Patricia Pence was very thorough in her examination of him. The care and treatment that Meowgi received from Doctor Pence was nothing less than excellent. After the appointment, Doctor Pence contacted me twice to check on him and to give me an update on the results of his bloodwork and X-Rays that were completed. She suggested that we put Meowgi on a diet as he is a hefty boy and she explained to me that the medication that she was prescribing would very possibly cause him to gain extra weight, which may cause diabetes. Dr. Pence listened to me and I know that she took every word that I said to her seriously. I genuinely feel that she does care deeply about the animals that she treats. She also made me feel valued because she was not arrogant or pretentious in any way. If you are looking for a caring veterinarian that will do all that she can possibly do to take loving care of your animal, please make an appointment to go see her. Thank you Dr. Pence for your excellent care and for your love of our animals.

So this place! Ugh. I'm sure some saw me check into a pet store and were like TF??…read more Some of you know that my lil man, Frankie boy passed away almost 4 months ago. (Very weird as soon as I mentioned his name here, the song I tried to get him to dance with me to when we went to the mountains together...the song started as soon as I typed his name. Y'all would laugh at "our song" lol He's always with me) Losing him was one of the worst things to EVER happen to me. I miss having a little guy in my life. I've looked at several breeders online and whatnot over the past few months. And that's what y'all should do if you EVER even think for ONE SECOND about going into a pet store. For so many reasons! One being and the most important , the health of a pup from an actual breeder is always guaranteed. Another, pet store pups always come from puppymills . PuppyLand swears theirs don't. I'm like 34, 43, 38, 35 years old (LOL) and in all my years...EVERY pet store I've gone into has always sworn "we promise our pups only come from registered and experienced breeders" The pups were healthy. I didn't recognize any that were coughing. One pup and I hate saying this about any dog because dogs mean more to me than most things lol. This pup was listed as purebred Golden and it was soooo NOT a purebred. It was a funky looking little pup. Very friendly, because she was looking like a result of her mom hooking up with one of her sons and this little girl was the result. Their little areas were somewhat clean. You could smell the sh*t in almost all of them tho. The thing they do is just throw some more shredded paper on top of whatever is in there. The way they handled the pups too I saw and was thinking...umm, that's a tiny puppy! Show him/her some respect. Don't just drop it back in his/her little playpen. I've had friends who have gotten puppies from here and have yet to have ONE of those friends say "no health problems" So many awful stories from folks who have bought from here. Do I blame them? Absolutely not, they didn't know any better. So many people don't realize the gamble you take if/when you get a pup from a "fancy puppy mill" that's how I see SOME pet shops. I raised golden retrievers for years. Even before then I knew the horrors of pet stores and where 98% of these dogs come from and the awful conditions they come from. If a buyer came to me and told me they looked at a golden in a pet store I'd be like OMG WHYYYY!!! And they answered with "I didn't know pet stores were like this" I always told them to ALWAYS research these stores before and to never buy from one. Sure some may get a pup with zero health issues, but again, it's a gamble. Lady got a pup from Puppyland and she has a rare brain disability. The dog can't walk right and will be like this her entire life. Puppyland pretended to care and last time I talk to this lady I asked if they fixed the problem, offered to pay vet bills, anything!? And she said the messaged her once and that was it. They never offered to refund the $, no offer to help with the unbelievable vet bills, nothing. Puppyland is sketch as hell! Even when you go to their Facebook page and even if you comment something nice, they immediately delete your comments. So with breeding history, if you see this review ALWAYS contact a breeder first and ONLY! if you're wanting a purebred dog. Going to a pet store is too risky. Plus they charge 2-3k more than most breeders depending on the breed. I'd hope this day in age, most would know how bad pet stores are, but sadly they don't. Again, I don't blame them. Did I like my visit here? Of course I did. I miss my little man SO MUCH! But I know better. I also know these precious kids need love too. So it's painful to write a review like this when they need love too and if you buy from here or any pet store, that's your business. These kids were soooo sweet and so needing love. They were so excited to see anyone stop by to see them. They were literally dying for some love and when I'd walk away, they'd cry and cry. If Puppyland gave their health guarantees and actually honored them, the review would be much better not only from me, but from anyone who has actually gotten a puppy from them and if their guarantees about the puppies coming from reputable breeders were legit and they GAVE PROOF OF THAT! (Which they don't! No pedigree, nothing) then people wouldn't be contacting lawyers to get this place shut down. Puppyland, one thing, train your staff to be a little more friendly and less militant....and not just with the pups, with the customers as well. Tell them to put their phones down too and actually act like they like their jobs. 2 stars was for the pups. They deserve more but more stars would make this pet store look better than it deserves. Cheers! Edit: I had to cut out so much of this. So frustrating. Good info too. Yelp fix this. Reviews shouldn't have a limit. At least not your limit. Thx :)

The cats' rooms are extremely clean and well-maintained. Each room also has an outdoor catio that cats have access to. The staff are friendly and well-informed about the cats. They also write notes on the walls within the rooms about each cat for visitors to reference to. Response time to emails is very fast and staff do well in assisting with issues, even after adoption has taken place. We adopted two cats and have had a great experience during and after the adoption process. We will definitely be visiting again the next time we choose to adopt another cat.

So, preemptively, I checked the box "indoor/outdoor" on their adoption form. They asked for explanation. I explained that we'd allow the cat to go outside if he/they wanted to. We live out in the mountains, so there is plenty of space to explore. We were rejected by this organization because we are "out of policy" I offered to provide references, vet references, pictures of our old cat, etc. We were emotionally engaged (at the start) with two little guys, and this place rejected me and offered me another cat. I am incredibly sad and nowhere on their website says they would "reject" me. This place will allow you to engage emotionally, only to reject you. Suggest going to Idaho Humane Society as they don't discriminate.

" Claiming that he had kennel cough" regardless if likely all he has is a minior cold and minior eye discharge. Refused to also see my vaccination records. Stated that my dog likely caught it from daycare over the weekend. Which isn't likely the scenario. They refunded me the deposit, but I won't be returning. Not where they absolutely refused to see my dog when I had gone in to get blood work done to confirm my dog was fine to undergo anesthesia and get Snipped and then flat out told me they wouldn't see my dog after staying that " assuming that he had kennel cough and stating that my dog was likely contagious. Regardless if my dog has been vaccinated for everything under the sun and even vaccinated for Bordetella canine influsia etc and everything else." Not to mention my dog is acting allert, eating food etc and not acting like he has kennel cough. Not to mention the ladies at the front desk were incredibly rude to me with their assumptions but more eager to cancel all my appointments and refuse service with me and just refund me and then tell me don't return until seen by your normal vet and given the 4-8 week clear. At this rate I'm just gonna probly get my dog snipped by my normal veterinarian then be treated like this by SNIP assuming my dog has something he doesn't. Even refusing to see my dog.

We were told he was healthy. He wasn't. I brought Blue in for a weight check 3-4 weeks after his checkup. He had lost nearly a pound in that time. He wouldn't eat. His behavior had changed. No one followed up on my concerns. I called River City Vet a few days after the weight check because Blue was lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink. We were told they didn't have time for us. I took Blue in to West Vet for IV fluids every day for 3 days. My husband was out of the country and made an emergency flight home from Japan while we struggled to keep Blue alive so he could say goodbye to his favorite human. Blue died in our arms on Easter Sunday, a few hours after my husband got home. He was only 6 years old.
