Overpriced! Looked at some lovely puppies, but the prices were ridiculous. Did some research and found that they were almost 3 times the average price of the same breed of puppy, Cavapoo, that you could purchase elsewhere. I purchased my puppy from a reputable breeder (the same as Petland is supposed to do) for less than half of what Petland was asking. And that included a $575 delivery fee to have my puppy driven from 10 hours away and hand-delivered to my home. Also, the puppies that I looked at and played with at Petland left me with quite a bit of odor on my clothing, so much that I actually had to wash my jacket the next day. My puppy arrived perfectly clean and groomed. read more

Will say whether you purchase and animal or adopt an animal, one must be very aware of their appearance and health. Yes, Petland is in the business to SELL puppies. However, I have a Chihuahua and bulldog from Petland and both have been amazing.. And believe it our not, they get along. Would post pictures, but know there are many out there that would criticize this mix :( read more

Cute pups! Employee's were rude and dismissive, and they were more focused on chips then helping customers and watching after the puppies. Had to walk into the back room to hand them the puppy because i didn't want to leave it unattende. read more

Staff is incredible and very knowledgeable as I was searching for a puppy for my daughter. We found the perfect match and the process was simple. Any questions we had were answered and there knowledge was over and above on what we did not know to ask. Definitely very happy! read more

Came here to look at dogs since I've been wanting one for awhile and haven't been able to find a smaller dog for sale at any of the rescues near me. Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of people looking at the dogs. They had a great selection and definitely keep the dogs and the cages clean. Staff was great and friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

I got the absolute best dog here. Super smooth, easy process. 16 years ago, I got another amazing experience. I'm not sure what's going on with the negative reviews here, but this is an amazing place. read more

Be careful what you buy at pet land. The return policy is pretty much zero on all items. They tell you the puppy comes with puppy replacement and puppy training kits. They don't your receipt will show $500 in additional charge. At the bottom no return on most of the items. Also be very careful buying puppies there because crated animals will without doubt begin to eat poop. Uneducated people will say otherwise. Petland employees. But pay attention while there. If a pup poops. The employees instantly clean to prevent customers from seeing the pup eat it. If a dog has to poop it will poop. But will eat it to clean its domain. My pup was loaded with worms and required 14 days of treatment. From eating poo. I still have to watch him every closely because he still wants to eat it. Even when pooping outside. Be very careful buying at petland. If I ever buy another puppy it will never be at Petland. read more

Would give this place a 0 if possible. My BF purchased an English bulldog from here and as though bulldogs are known to be medically expensive, they clearly sold an extremely sick one that has cost almost 20k in medical bills. He's had 3 surgeries for cherry eyes, his urethra, on top of the countless ear infections, seizures, etc. purchased the dog in October of 2023 and have tried to file 3 times for some type of compensation as stated you can do in the warranty but of course, nobody responds and you can't get ahold of anyone. read more

I bought a beautiful puppy from them last week! She is honestly perfection! The sales associate was so sweet and helpful! It was faster than buying a car! read more

I bought a puppy yesterday and she is such a joy. The people at petland were very kind and helpful. I'm so happy with my little girl. read more

I called these guys and they hustled me. I mean really hustled me to get me in there to look at puppies and then I went and made an appointment on the phone and then I went to Yelp to look at the reviews and they have some seriously bad reviews as in getting a puppy that was coughing and later on spending thousands on vet bills in an emergency with pneumonia and the like. And there's more than one of those stories so you know, I tend to believe it. So I called him back and I canceled my appointment And I told him why and then I got a flood. I'm talking flood of text telling how great they are how great the breeders are this not the other I mean it's just didn't stop. It was kind of creepy. So with that kind of flood of text justifying themselves after I canceled my appointment oh man that just made me grab my Nikes and run!!!! read more

The process was smooth, we worked with Mary, who called us every day after we made the first phone call. We don't live in the area, but we visited twice before committing. We asked a ton of questions and was provided reassurance time and time again that the puppies were healthy and that they took pride in selecting top breeders to ensure authenticity. During our third visit seeing Asher we decided to adopt him. After a few months after being home with our ShihPoo he totally began to look different than he did when we first got him. Although we were told that he was 50% shih tzu and 50% poodle, and provided photos of his parents, we learned that our puppy is mixed with four breeds. The photos of his parents are totally false. During our visits we were told that the puppy came home with everything they needed which was included in the price (crate, teddy bear, food, an additive to make the puppy eat, non-marking spray etc.) Long story short, the financing for our puppy was $1000.00 more than what our receipt says. I am now in the process of trying to work this out with them and called the store, talked to Mary (whom may I remind you called/texted me multiple times a day everyday) yet now I'm being given the run around. We love our puppy, he's become a major part of our family, and I wouldn't change him for the world, however the way these people do business is criminal and I would not recommend them to anyone. They are sales agents. they don't care about you, your family or these puppies. They just want to make a sale. I believe in doing things right so I will continue my efforts to get this resolved, even if that just means getting the word out so that this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

Excellent store! Very friendly and helpful employees. The puppies and all other animals are well taken care of and the facility is AKC approved. Support your local Petland and other independent pet stores/smaller franchises that actually sell animals! read more

While considering purchasing the puppy for my husband, who is an AirforceVet of 29 years, the puppy coughed a couple of times. I then asked the salesperson, Hallie, why he was coughing. She stated he must have drank something. Though he was damp from just getting a bath. She stated she would go ask. A few minutes later, she came back and said everything was fine. So trusting the sales person. I purchased the puppy. 3 days later, we ended up in the Animal ER. With upper respiratory infection/pneumonia. Was given 3 antibiotics fluid for dehydration and bloodwork. The Next day which was Monday which was day for of having the puppy we took the pet to Petlands Veterinarian. Parkway Veterinarian Center. Their own Vet diagnosed the puppy with PNEUMONIA after 3 views of xrays.He gave us an additional steroid to add to the meds given at the animal er. To say I am livid is an understatement!! Defrauded.. and CONNED!! Then when I went back to discuss what happened and question the salesperson about selling me a sick puppy. The manager got loud and said he RECIPROCATES the same energy!! It's really completely unprofessional and uncaring, to say the least!! I told him 1 have lost a weeks worth of work and will lose another week taking care of a sick puppy they've sold me. He said that was my choice to not go to work. I said, "Who and where do i leave a puppy that has pneumonia!! read more

We paid $10,000 for two absolutely beautiful poodles that are sisters on May 29, 2020. Unfortunately and sadly they were sick dogs and we have not slept one night as a result of it. We love the dogs and it is just heartbreaking and stressful to buy sick dogs especially after paying $10,000. You would think for spending $10,000 that we would have gotten healthy dogs. read more

We had a wonderful experience here at Petland. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. They went above and beyond. We did not intend to purchase a puppy yet but fell in love with her immediately. We were not pressured and spent as much time with her as we wanted to. They were transparent and forthright. We would highly recommend them. read more

I brought a 10 week old puppy from them at the end of November for a new companion for my 10 year old Italian Greyhound Chico. I thought that the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and I understood that my dog couldn't be in the room with the puppy cause I didn't know that I needed the paperwork showing he was up to date with his vaccinations and one of the employees offered to hold my dogs leash so I could go into the room with Vitio and he had pneumonia after I got him I took him to a vet within the the first 48 hours at that time the they had it down he had a cough and I was reimbursement for everything I spent to get him healthy he is now almost seven months old now a happy health addition to the family and both dogs get along great I also looked up the kennel online and was able to get in touch with the breeder and are now Facebook friends and she has sent me pictures of the mother and father and I have sent her pictures of Vitio and how how he is growing. I am glad to know that this owner is caring about the puppies that he gets in and is educating his staff on how to responsibility sale a puppy to a good owner. read more

They sold me a puppy that was supposed to be a Great Pyrenees / Poodle mix (pyredoodle) after bringing the puppy home I didn't see any poodle resemblance. I did a DNA test and dog came back as 100% Great Pyrenees. Also the breeder on the breed certificate had a different last name then the USDA check up form that was given by Petland and breeder is no longer listed with them. I gifted the dog because I would not be able to house a dog that would be that large nor able to handle the shedding, which is why we bought bought a poodle mix. Petland if offering us NOTHING to compensate us for a fraudulent breeder. read more

Wonderful shopping experience!! Went in to buy an aquarium filter and ran into Gage. Very very knowledgeable with a great personality. Also spoke to the manager who was equally great. After experiencing rude behavior at Petco on Manatee Ave I highly recommend Petland read more

Unfortunately, they raised their prices significantly "due to covid and the breeders" per the staff. $6000 for a Yorkie puppy! They had a sign out front that said "puppies on sale". I also found it strange that they wouldn't give us prices of the dogs until we filled out a form providing our SS#, address, if we own or rent a home. They also kept asking us "are you really serious about buying a dog?" Very bizarre experience and wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

It's terrible and over priced they try to get u to buy a huge tank for crabs when i had one for a year and i was very young so it didnt get the best care and i had in small tank but still it lasted for a year and they try to get u to buy a bunch of overpriced worthless junk read more

We bought two puppies from Petland. A cockalier in 2015 and a chihuahua in 2016. Both have the best temperament! I think all the folks that come and play with them definitely helps with that early on socializing. We are now 2-3 years later and both have been very healthy and the best dogs I have ever had! :) read more

Horribly expensive for puppies and their health is questionable. We recently had to put our little Yorkie to sleep due to congenital Hip Dysplasia. We purchased her as a puppy from Petland-Bradenton and was only 3.5 years old when we put her down. Even our veterinarian (who is suggested by Petland) says they see a lot of problems with pets from Petland. It was their opinion it was from Petland's reliance on puppy mills and the over-breeding that comes with those type of places. read more

The absolute worst experience looking for a puppy. We've previously had a French bulldog and went looking for a Frenchie and experienced the worst customer service. HIGHLY do not recommend going to this store and would HIGHLY recommend a local breeder as we are forced to do this thanks to these shitty people. Save your time and energy and go somewhere else. Specifically do not visit with Rose, the SALES person. Don't say nobody warned you. read more

They didn't seem to have as much knowledge about there dogs they often had to look things up. The Sarasota Petland told our family that the Bradenton Petland doesn't work closely with the dogs or the vet. The puppies were very expensive they only had two that were two thousand or below the rest were above three thousand. The employees were very nice and helpful! We purchased our puppy from the Bradenton Petland and he's perfect!! He is so well behaved and the sweetest dog! We personally had a very good experience there. read more

I was there today to check on male guinea pig. An attendant approach me and asked me what animal was I interested in. I told him but he never helped me with the guinea pig. A nice young man wearing a red shirt helped me then he had to leave to attend to another customer. He said if I need help those ladies that was seated on the corner with a phone can help me. None of those girls paid attention. Those two are in their own little world talking about personal things. The guinea pigs were a bit wild and I wanted to get familiar with one of them especially a male one. I got tired of waiting for someone who cares enough to assist me. I will only need one degree of caring and asking to have me buy the male guinea pig. The one degree never came. I left without buying one. Hey, girls, let me tell you this, you are at work, please tend to your customers. Sincerely, Customer Amelia read more

Before I go into this I think it's important to state some things.... Petland is a franchised store. This is not a huge corporate operation. Each store has an owner that has their own way of doing things. I met with this owner before shopping here. He really cares about the animals at his location. He does NOT get his dogs from puppy mills. Now that I've said that, I obtained my rottie puppy from this store along with my kitten. He actually gave me the contact information for the breeders he got her from. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. They go through a great deal of training, too. The only downside I can tell about this store is their prices are kind of high. The location is clean, well-stocked, and well-staffed. read more

Made an appointment to meet with a dog I was interested in purchasing drove 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there and they tell me they sold dog already and no one called me to tell me this and to top it off the bathrooms are employees only and was not allowed to use it read more

Great employees and puppies. The problem is that my puppy had a bad ear infection and Giardia. The Beach vet did a very poor exam and didn't take any time on the initial exam read more

This place is so gross. They do not take care of their animals. The puppies are so sick and they smell horrible . I have two friends that have bought from here and the puppies ALWAYS end up sick. Their cages are disgusting "all the animals" . Their prices are OUTRAGEOUS. Just go to a shelter and adopt . These puppies have no personality. The staff here pressures you to buy and you're only allowed to look at 2 puppies at A time ?? You're better off going to a breeder yourself. Better puppies and better prices . I wish o could Give them negative stars. read more

Terrible place, they have outrageous prices $4,200. For a puppy. Crazy. They want you to go through financing so they can rob you blind and end up paying 6,000 for a pet. There animals are sick. The customer service is absolutely horrible. Asked for details and lady was clueless. Ending up going through a breeder. Do not buy from this place. read more

I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and find the staff extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their job. Ordinarily, I buy different pet products (mostly fish) and have worked with Adrian who is absolutely fabulous. In addition, I've enjoyed the personalities of Mike and Rose whom always find a way to make me laugh. The staff, although young, shares a common passion for the betterment of Pets! read more

If I could give Petland a minus 5 I would. I paid $4600 for a Shih Tzu puppy. As the puppy grew his face didn't look like a Shih Tzu so I had a DNA test done. He is half Shih Tzu and half Yorkshire Terrier. All the paperwork says that his father was a Shih Tzu and his mother was a Shih Tzu. The breeder lied and the store lied. They will do nothing about it. I have emailed their Claims and Warranty Dept and spoken to them on the phone many times and they say it's not their responsibility. It's false advertising. That is against the law. read more

DO NOT BUY A PUPPY/ANIMAL HERE! We made the mistake of buying a "rare" Silver Labrador Retriever here for the LOW price of $900. Yeah right. Before I ran my card, we were assured that the puppy was in good health, AKC registerable (his parent's werent even AKC, I wasn't told that until after I ran my card and got the puppy home). On top of all that, on our puppy's first vet visit, we were told he had kennel cough. They treat the animals they have like crap, buy from HORRIBLE kennels (border line puppy mills), and lie about "rare breeds". Silver labs are actually a genetic anomaly. I love my dog, and I should've done research, but I was duped. Please do your research before buying an animal, and do not make the same mistake I did. Petland thrives from people like me, impulse buyers and suckers. read more

Horrible service, irresponsible employees. Was set to meet a puppy with my son and after a very long drive (1hour and 30 minutes) the dog had been sold and "We forgot to call you to cancel your appointment". This is totally unacceptable. By the way, the prices are ridiculous. Also, I asked for the restroom and I was told that the restroom was only for employees. They deserve a 0 stars review. read more

If there was a negative star, I'd give this joint a negative 100. My daughter got her first ever bunny from here two days ago. The teeth were protruding to the point where this poor sweet bunny could not drink from his bottle. My daughter had to hand feed the water. On taking the bunny to a Vet, he found a huge tumor in its mouth. Sadly, we returned him, receiving no explanation. We got refunded and a "sorry." Pathetic! You will be reported, Petland, Bradenton. Shame read more

I went into this store to look at Puppies. As I walked in a young long dark haired girl was standing behind the desk. I smiled and said hello only to be greeted with a smirk and a moving the eyes dramatically away from me like I was a serial killer or something similar. So grumpy and unfriendly. I simply turned around and walked out...end of. I simply won't ever go in there again. read more

Petland Bradenton - Pet Stores Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Disgraceful, selling animals that are sick. The staff is very pushy, they need to work on that. There's a "used car salesman" vibe going on there. They're more concerned on selling you "warranty's" for your animals than making sure youve bonded with the animal. I think Petland corporate needs to investigate this branch and come in and revamp how things are done here. I always heard bad things about Petland and their shady dealings but now it's 100% confirmed. Shame on you all. These are living things you're dealing with, not objects. read more

We bought our new puppy from this petland in October. We had just lost our victorian bulldog that we bought from petland 11 years ago. Point being, their dogs are NOT all sick. Our bulldog led a very long healthy life. Our new puppy has been amazing. Yes he was very expensive but we could not have been more happy with the service. It was quick, easy and i thought the store was very clean. We went to their suggested vet and the visit was completely free, including his preventative meds. This franchise owner is different from the rest! read more
