Please drive away from this place, and just go to aspca or any other pet rescue shelter. This place is far from an adoption center, and often times you'll get a pet that may not live as long as one from aspca. I love animals but this place really needs to be shut down, consider it's ran by puppy mills. And no dog should cost so much as what places like this does. Please inform your friends and family to avoid this place at all costs. (BTW please research puppy mills and what they do to their dogs before going to one, also when they're no longer a puppy often times they get euthanized since they're no longer a baby). Imagine the amount of abuse the poor animals have to endure behind closed doors!!! read more

30 mile drive to see a puppy only to hear they want $6,400! Had they answered the question the first six times I asked, I could have saved the 2 hrs driving! HOW DO THEY JUSTIFY SUCH A RIDICULOUS PRICE?!?! SCAM read more

Never buy any animals from Petland brought a French bulldog from them two months ago and just had to put him down due too all sort of unknown diseases he also lost sight in both of his eyes ... NEVER EVER ADOPT any dogs or cats from them puppy mill dogs ... so so upset with petland for selling me a puppy who was filled with diseases.... They should be SHUT DOWN consider the amount of review this place has wish I would have read prior tooo this place is ABSOLUTELY THE WORST PLACE FOR animals they don't not take care of them at all if I could give zero stars I would . Petland largo or any Petland for that matter should be throughly investigated for animal neglected and abuse read more

You can tell they don't take care of the dogs, but luckily I do so the pup I had gotten from them I immediately took him to the vet to get his vaccinations, due to the fact the ones they claimed he had were over expired read more

Hoorible service, waited at the register to pay for 10 minutes while employees watched me and messed around. Absolutely childish. Will not return. This location will go out of business very soon if they keep this up. Lady with red hair was very disrespectful and rude read more

Sam W. and Karen are very friendly and kind people. Both employees went out of their way to assist me with what I was looking for, and were even respectful enough to ask for my approval before giving my pup, Pepper, a treat. Sam W. and I chatted about the ingredients in pet food and she was very knowledgeable and informative. She knew exactly what she was talking about. Petland is very clean, the staff is friendly, and the animals all looked happy and healthy! 5/5 stars. It's a shame that this place is rated so poorly. read more

they Sold me a sick puppy with pneumoni. I lost my job and went broke trying to nurse him back to good health they didn't try to help just gave me a number to call. Do not buy any puppy or pets from them!!!! Poor animals and familys that have to suffer instead of enjoying their pets.!!! read more

Go below 1 to -5 rating. I have been looking for a puppy for quite awhile. Found one I was interested in on Petland. Called the number because the closest location is not close to us. I asked if the dog was still available so we could set up a visit. Was told by a call center that they could not give that info. You have to visit the store. Are you telling me they can't call the store and ask? Guess not! I asked how much the puppy was was told they don't know...........RIP OFF. If you go there I'm sure they jack the price up to ridiculous but I decided after reading all the reviews not to go to such a disreputable store. It's ashame that this company get a business license. read more

We went to petland today for a dog I have been watching for 2 months. He is a Golden Retriever that is 4 months old and they had the nerve to give me a price of 7,000 dollars for this dog, yes you are reading this correctly, I said 7,000. I know what the breed costs as we already have one and we didnt pay 7k for him. We tried to negotiate a price and they came down 200.00 Really ? So you think the dog is better off sitting in a crate rotting because you want to make money ? I think you should be ashamed of yourself. read more

Terrible place to adopt a puppy. Brought home my brand new pup that cost me $7,900 out the door. The next day I had to take my pup to the vet because he had a kennel cough, aa heart murmur and parasites. The manager stated they only pay for the medication but not the actual visit! When calling in for help they placed me on hold and the line went dead. This happened many times. Also to take the puppy out the door took 3 hours long for paperwork and everything! I definitely would not recommend coming here to get your pet. Very angry and disappointed customer. read more

Recently our beloved Dachshund Nigel died at 15 years old. Looking for another pet dog and contacted Petland. One of their call center agents contacted us back and said they could set up a play date at the local Petland store. We are retired couple and are on a fixed income. Quality pets of course are not inexpensive, but before we went into the store to look at a dog, we wanted to know what would be the approximate price before we drove to the store. We find it very manipulative and deceptive do not give basic information before a potential sale. Do not shop at PETLAND! read more

Puppy mill puppies are sold here for top dollar prices. They sell diseased and often dying puppies with falsified health certificates and a sham health warranty that isn't worth the paper it's written on. Pet counselors recite scripted answers to questions about the health and origin of their pups (all lies!). Pet counselors work on commission, so they will tell you whatever you need to hear to buy that puppy. Beware of the veterinarian associated with Petland- they are in cahoots and he will intentionally misdiagnose puppies to save Petland money in warranty claims. The breeder videos playing on the screens in the store are staged- that's not where they come from. Be sure to ask them about the isolation room in the back of the store where the animals that are too sick to be sold are denied medical treatment and wait to die. These diseased pups are a public health hazard- just Google Petland and campylobacter outbreaks. How do I know all this? I worked there and I saw and heard it with my own eyes.... do your research! You are supporting the cruel puppy mill industry when you shop at Petland. It's supply and demand -as long as the public continues to create a market for puppy mill puppies by purchasing them, the mills will continue to supply that demand by producing them.... read more

Stopped by today to look for new family pup. Christian was very helpful and explained all of the benefits of purchasing a pet through them. The animals look safe and the facility was clean and did not smell bad. They have plenty of staff to answer any questions you may have. Will definitely be back when we are ready to add to our family. Thanks again! read more

On Nov 2nd, 2019 I bought a Bernadoodle from Petland Largo. We were looking for a large breed dog. We saw this cute Bernadoodle puppy but hesitated due to the size. The saleswoman told us the mother was 70 lbs and the dad 90 lbs, which re-assured us... Now 1 year later, our dog weight 45 lbs!!! Obviously too late to return. We were blindsided by their sales tactic. BEWARE, don't trust them on anything, we should have called the breeder ourselves. LESSON LEARNED Don't trust any of them, they are salespersons. Will NEVER buy from them again. read more

$6,000 for a Shiz Tzu puppy that ranges from $1000- $2,500 maybe a little more but like wtf that such over price robbery... $6,000 on a shih tzu what in the world! If only they were cheaper pups... smh ridiculous read more

I've been searching for a Shih Tzu for over a month, after doing extensive research, I found several puppies from breeders across several States, including some in Florida, but required extensive traveling. I found puppies ranging in price from $1200.00 to $2000.00 which I felt was reasonable. Since I didn't want to travel great distances for my future furry friend, I decided to look at local pet stores. On Thursday, 07/30, I found a puppy named Hank at a Petland store in Pembroke Pine, Fl, a 4 1/2 hour drive from Tampa, Fl, I called the store for information and pricing and they told me I needed to come into the store (red flag), after further research I found this report on the Humane Society of the United States homepage at, https://www.humanesociety.org/sites/default/files/docs/2008-investigation-report-petland.pdf. On Saturday, 08/01, I called the Pembroke Pine store again to find out if there was a way to get information and pricing for the puppy, they told me I can visit the Petland in Largo, Fl, a 45 minute commute. Before leaving to visit the store, I applied for their financing and was approved through their Petland Credit for $4700.00, an amount I believed would cover the cost of a puppy and more. When I arrived, I was introduced to someone who was finishing up with a previous customer and told me she'll be with me shortly. I guess she wasn't quite finished because someone else approached me with information about (Hank), the puppy I was inquiring about. He stated he was a new hire and would try and assist me, he didn't know much about the puppy, except from what he was reading from the electronic device, it was like someone reading a teleprompter. After several minutes of sidestepping my questions, he left to talk with the person who I was initially introduced to, when she re-approached me, this was her question to me: How much much are you looking to spend on the puppy? My initial response was: Huh, then I told her about the price range from the different breeders ($1200.00 to $2000.00). Then she blurted out, the puppy your inquiring about is $5900.00 and I walked out. Today, I found these reports on the Humane Society of the United States homepage at, https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/investigations-reports. My advice to people looking for a pet, avoid Petland or Pet stores, my research paid off and I didn't have to spend an arm and a leg. read more

They give no information over the phone about pricing. For good reason for a predatory sales tactic. 6000$ for a Labrador is outrageous. Massive fees like 150$ microchip Loan fee of over 500$ I can see why people have given so many bad ratings If they told me over the phone they do not have any dogs that cost less than 4000$ over the phone I wouldn't give them 1-5 stars. Just a scummy sales tactic read more

Most of the staff is kind, but be sure to check the expiration dates on products. They replaced an expired product with an expired product and when I went to get the replacement replaced we found several items on the shelves from several brands expired as well, so just be mindful. read more

I called in looking for availability and pricing on a specific dog breed. I was told that I was not able to get pricing until I arrived to the location. So the whole family and I drove an hour to only find out the dog of interest was over $4500. I was being Over sold on their concept of why they are price gauging these pets. And none of it made any sense. On the bright side. The location was clean and the dogs were well groomed and presentable. read more

If I could give no stars I would. This place is a joke. Looked at a puppy signed papers for financing but left before purchasing the dog. I am now being charged $4500 for a dog that I never purchased. No kidding. Never took the dog out of the store!!! Plus they claim I opened a charge card which I never would have done. Commenity Bank, the Petland credit card people, have destroyed my credit. I need to hire an attorney. I flat out REFUSE to pay for a pet that I never purchased. Petland Largo, thanks for nothing! read more

Overall had a good experience purchasing our first puppy at Petland Largo. It was helpful that the website was up to date to check which puppies were available. Be prepared to pay a hand full upfront or inquire your credit. The better your credit the better options you have. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Samantha W. was the main representative that we worked with. She broke down the financing options available and helped us collect all the things that come with our puppy. We spent about 2.5 hours during the process. (Playing with 2 puppies, determining purchase options, paper work and collecting all item's). Overall, happy with the puppy we took home. Wish I had a detail specific of the bread and the full track record of the parents. read more

Our $6000 Chocolate lab female puppy we purchased back in May has developed a deformity in her skull. Petland refuses to help with the 3,000 cat scan of the puppies head, which now makes her a 9,000 dog. Pet solutions denied all help and referred me to their attorney JC PLANAS. After looking through the paperwork, the puppy didn't come from a top 2% USDA breeder as guaranteed, I reached out to the breeder listed on the paperwork and left a message no call back. I looked further into the paperwork and it revealed the mom and dad of the pup were severely underweight as being in the Labrador breed: female 50lbs male 68lbs. Petland swears by the health and background DNA of their animals and they have done nothing but told stories from the beginning(breeder, health, etc) No one that I have talked to could give any information on anyone higher up in corporate to talk to address this issue further we plan to contact news crews with Skyes story to get the REAL truth out about what is happening with these animals before and after they are sold, to help other people research before buying animals from Petland stores. Bottom pictures for reference. Old post: Today we got to pick our FUREVER fury friend with help from Vincent! He was there every step of the way with answers to all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed to go home! We received lots of great treats and toys for our pup! Awesome great place! read more

We ended up buying our puppy there. We ended up getting a cavapoo. At the end of the day the puppy cost us a small fortune. Their Cavapoo's run up to $4800 with free vet visits for life, chipped with first rounds of shots and six weeks of dog training included .. Miranda was very nice but we feel taken advantage of. Place was very clean. Our dog is 3 months old and no health issues. read more

Petland Largo - Bear - Pet Stores Near Me - Largo, Florida

Great quality pups, but shady financing. All fees - microchip, lifetime program, and sales tax were all reviewed in detail so I knew what my costs were. Until I viewed the loan with LendingUSA and they charged a $530 loan origination fee. I received printed copies of my paperwork in the store; except the loan disclosures. No interest if paid in full in 6 mos. but no mention of this fee which is nearly 10% of the purchase. I would paid a different way if I had known. read more

I guess you have to give them a 1 star ;( We purchased a $10,000 french bulldog from this company. Not even a year later, it had a stomach aneurysm and died within an hour. We bought a lifetime warranty which they (Petland Largo) agreed to replace if our puppy passed. Brookie was the love of our life and our children's life. They are not honoring the warranty because we didn't purchase vitamins from them. They look at these beautiful things like contracts instead of family members. They didn't have to clean up the blood, pick this beautiful baby up or wipe our childrens tears. This little girl was our world. If I could send you a picture I would. I am sure they will try to block this like all my other post. But know I will spend EVERY free moment taking this organization down because Brookie was worth it and worth every minute. Oh - our rabbit, hampster and bird also passed away from here. Pathetic. read more

This place is a joke. $8860.00 for a Golden Retriever puppy that's 11 weeks old with a noticeable tumor on her side. 9 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A PUPPY THAT I CAN BUY FROM A REPUTABLE BREEDER FOR $2500.. THESE people REFUSE to give pricing over the phone for this reason. Shady business STAY AWAY read more

If I could give less stars I would! Do NOT get a puppy from here way to overpriced and they sell sick dogs! Not even 4 days after purchasing my pup she was in the emergency room with pneumonia that alone cost the same price as the dog we were told we would be reimbursed if there were any issues but there shouldn't be because the dogs are "100% healthy" not surprising they didn't help us out only gave us a number to call to fix the problem. The hospital we took our pup to said they get A LOT of dogs from Petland in Largo that are ALWAYS sick just a horrible establishment all around. read more

Went in to just look at the puppies and walked out with a puppy. Rodolfo was our sales Person and he was great. Took the time to show us 5 puppies before we found the perfect one for us. He help find a cage and food ect. Since my puppy has been home he has took to the cage well and hasn't went to the bathroom not once in the cage. I'm very happy and will recommend this place to anyone. Thanks Rodolfo. read more

Warning! Do not buy from here!! I had purchased a dog for $4995 & within days he was so sick & almost died! I was told to take him to the vet & I would be reimbursed for everything, as long as I kept all the invoices, being how this all happened within days of purchasing him. I am still waiting to get reimbursed & it's been almost 2 years now. They will sell you a sick puppy & give you the run a round & many excuses & not reimburse you for medical bills even though they promise you a "14 day health guarantee" on each dog. On day 10 our dog was in an oxygen tank with double pneumonia, bordatella & influenza. Thank God he's still alive today but I am still out by almost $3,000 in vet bills! Beware! read more

I walked into Petland when they were at the Largo Mall to observe and play with puppies. My son and I were looking to adopt a dog however I have never purchased a dog. I have been a rescue pet owner previously. We walked in and saw a puppy bouncing in the kennel. Tail wagging, grinning with her tongue hanging, she was very happy. I requested to spend time with this pup and we were directed to the play area. Another customer walked up when the employee (Gabby) was bringing her to play with us demanding that she had come to purchase this specific pup. Gabby stated we were there first and she could see the pup after we were through. After a few minutes we knew this happy little pup belonged in our family. Gabby told me the cost of the dog, gave us the starter kit and luckily she was ready to come home with us that day. This little puppy, who we named Sally, changed our lives. Providing we purchase her vitamins there we have a lifetime guarantee. If anything should happen to our new family member from the date of adoption through x years we can get a new pup at no charge. I cannot imagine our lives without this baby. I visit bi weekly to get her toys, food etc and the staff remember her. They treat her like family. I have zero complaints about the customer service. read more

Petland Largo - Pet Stores Near Me - Largo, Florida

Speechless when they told me the little dog I booked play time with was $12,200. They have a policy of not sharing the prices by email but now I know why. A complete waste of my time. Normal price range for the same breed is 1,700-3,000. read more

Puppy threw up while playing with her. Excuse was she wasn't fed. Was pressured into buying a puppy from people who lacked any knowledge of owning a pet. Told me she threw up food then told me she didn't eat..Makes perfect sense. Dogs were beyond skinny and clearly weren't being taken care of because multiple dogs were laying on a diarrhea filled blanked. Terrible company. I purchased a $10,000 german shepherd dog last year and she was so sick when we got her, I spent over $10,000 in medical bills in the first 3 months and the "free" 14 bacterial infections did not do anything. Liars trying to get commission pay because they do not care about these poor beautiful babies. Company needs to be shut down immediately. read more

Horrible experience. Made an appt to see a bulldog from site. Got to store for appt and was ignored. Asked multiple people for help and ignored again. Then two people walk in and everyone jumps to them to help. Again we can't get anyone to help us. We have called earlier to make an appointment. Yet treated like we didnt even exist while employees almost fought to go help the two ladies who wanted to play with some dogs. read more

STAY AWAY!!! The amount of ways this place was dishonest with me in purchasing a puppy is hard to even coun. to start they will offer to finance then run your credit with SEVERAL companies without telling you. Then when i paid mine off in full a week later i got a bill from finance company saying petland had submitted the charge to them in full (100%) another time after paid. I have strong doubts the dog I purchased was the breed i was told was pure bread. Now manager is walking back on that claim. This place is unprofessional and the behaviors of the store are nothing short of scammy. read more

Great puppies and great people. I would strongly recommend to others. The workers help you out as soon as you walk through the door.

This place is an absolute joke!!! Our family had been in the market for a chocolate lab and have struggled to find any at all. With much regret we decided to call about this cute pup we found on their website. It seemed very weird that they wouldn't give a price so we thought the puppies would be quite expensive. Anyways, we decided to take the hour drive to check her out. The workers were near impossible to find and we waited for a decent amount of time. When we finally got to meet the pup she was awesome and the staff did seem nice. After we played with her for a bit we decided to ask about getting her and a staff member came over with an iPad slideshow with a bunch of bs about how they hand pick from the top 2% of breeders. Now the elephant in the room- the price. We would have been totally ok with spending 2k for the right dog but 6,000!!!! And it's not even AKC Registered. Totally a joke! The nice staff member from earlier then became very unprofessional when we decided that there is no way we should spend 6k when a good breeder would sell dogs for around 1-3k. She said (and just to quote a few) "I got my golden here so I'm not surprised", and "It's just value". Well thanks Petland I'm never going to step foot in your store EVER again. read more

worst place to buy a pet. they sold me a 6,000 dollar dog who was sick with bacterial infection and had about 6 seizures a day. they refuse to refund the 1600 in vet bills. they sold me a "lemon" they tried to compensate me with 280 bucks. it's no wonder petland stores get shut down all over the state. read more
