Naturally when you see a store that says puppies you think puppy mill, well this place has changed my thoughts on that completely. This is nothing even close to a puppy mill!! This place is amazing. It basically does the hard work for you when wanting to find a pure bred or hypoallergenic breed or something in particular. All their dogs are from AKC licensed and certified breeders, they warranty your pup and allow you to do a 72 hour vet check up to prove the dog they gave you is a happy healthy pup. They give you the information about the breeder and tell you all about the particular dog, which in our case was a golden doodle. Sooo incredibly knowledgable and an incredible family. We adopted Lucy our goldendoodle last Sunday after a painful restless night of her being on-hold by another family, fortunately that fell through and as we asked they called us 1st and boy do we love her. My boyfriend is allergic to most dogs so we needed a hypoallergenic pup, they let us take her out to our car to see if he had an allergic reaction, and after a half hour we came back in and said we'd take her! We brought her home and come Monday started developing kennel cough, typical for puppies, change of environment, we called perfect pup up and they had me come by and pick up a antibiotic for her right away! Not only that, I freaked out later that night and brought her in and they checked everything out and she wS fine, just exhausted from her first day home! Tuesday I took her into the vet and he said she was happy and healthy! We couldn't be more grateful for this place. The amount of care this family has for these pups and the relationships they create with each individual that walks through their door gives you a sense of comfort, as we all know adopting a puppy can be a stressful thing! Keep up the good work guys! read more

We bought a female boxer from The Perfect Pup last summer. She has grown into a beautiful girl, and has been perfectly healthy and energetic. Their shop is very clean and organized. They have a nice selection of healthy and well taken care of puppies. They are displayed on their website, and they even do special orders if you are looking for a specific breed/gender. They also sell food at a reasonable price, and a few items such as toys, dog clothes, bowls, etc. I cannot say enough great things about Christine and Chris. Any time I call (and I called A LOT at the beginning!) they are full of advice. They truly love the animals, and care about their well being. I just called today to ask their advice because my Molly has contracted roundworms. They steered me in the right direction, and were able to save me a lot of money. I think we have our hands full for a while, but if I ever wanted to get another puppy, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to The Perfect Pup. I've recommended that some of my friends go there as well. If you are on the fence, I'd say to at least walk in and meet them for yourself. You will be impressed by the owners and staff, and the overall atmosphere of the store. We visited many times before selecting our girl. Be prepared to walk out with a puppy eventually, once you find the right fit! read more

We have never bought a dog from a puppy store because of the horrible things you hear. On December 7th we got our little Morkie and she's been such a joy! Today she went in for her first grooming by Ashley and couldn't be happier! Planning on boarding her over spring break at The Perfect Pup. So happy to know our Sammy will be in good hands. read more

Do NOT buy a puppy from this organization. They have pending violations from the Department of Ag. They sell puppy mill dogs. I have been here and seen the unsafe conditions of the puppies. read more

I bring my adorable mini goldendoodle there to be groomed. She has a curly coat, more like a poodle and requires more combing and brushing on my part. Her fur tends to get matted easily. I am very picky about her haircut and am ALWAYS impressed at how great of a job Ashley, her groomer does. She takes her time....everytime!!!!...I highly recommend Perfect Pup.... read more

We came in looking for a specific puppy and found the exact one that we were looking for. She is beautiful! We could see right away that everyone there cared for the puppies, and wanted us to be happy with our purchase. This is a wonderful family owned business. read more

Came home with the most adorable yorkie today. We stopped in repeatedly before committing to a dog. They were so kind and patient to our small kids, knowing we were not buying a dog that day. Dogs come with all their papers and are registered with American Kennel Club. Including information on lineage and breeders. Not a puppy mill. Which is always a concern when you walk into a pet store. read more

Nobody knows pups like Chris and Christine. They stand behind every puppy they sell, and thoroughly vet every breeder. Beautiful doggies from beautiful people. read more

I know this review is late, but better late than never right!? Lisa, chris & christine were soo patient with me and my boys. We had been going in n out for about a yr! But I wasnt ready. Never felt forced, guilty bout walking out after spending over an hr...sometimes more everytime! Boys and I visited countless of times with PLENTY of questions and heavy hesitation on my part. Lisa always made me feel at ease with the repeat of questions and concerns. She answered & advised. I appreciated every bit of help to get over that hump to commit to a puppy! Finally in sept, we did. We went in, with hubby this time to add a shitzhu to our family but when we got there, the boys and hubby were like, this one is too calm ‍. So the cockapoo was recommended by christine. So here we go into the play area again with the cutest cockapoo! We all fell in love...end of story. And now he rules this house...lol. thank you to lisa, chris, & christine for ALL your patience and help! And ty for putting up with my phone calls afterwards too....lol! Cant recommend perfect pup enough! read more

All dogs are deserving of good health, care and love. Our story: Our 12 week puppy had developed major health problems. While at PUPPIES, being fed an improper diet contributed to a multitude of ongoing health problems diagnosed by our Vet. She is currently being treated by a Specialist, getting excellent care. . . but thousands of dollars later spent to provide her with a quality life. Short Version: Her medical condition results from improper breeding aka: Puppy Mill. So Buyers, PLEASE Beware! read more

THEY SELL PUPPY MILL DOGS. I am very ashamed to say that I bought my dog from here about three years ago. My dog is great, don't get me wrong. I am ashamed for having believed the lies of the pet store telling me my dog came from a good place. About a year ago I researched puppy mills. If you know what a puppy mill is and how absolutely horrifying they are then you know to avoid ALL pet stores. I was upset for having had contributed to the greedy business by purchasing a dog as opposed to adopting one (which i would only do now.) But still, the people that worked there seemed so nice I let myself feel better about it. Recently an article came out naming some of the worst puppy mill breeders out there....one of the perfect pups breeders was on the list...and he breeds my dog. :( This breeder has about 300 dogs living in horrible conditions. Please do not contribute to this greedy, disgusting business. go to pet finder .com or to a shelter, please. do not believe their lies. I regret buying my dog from them so much. read more

I've been looking for a puppy for awhile, and I went into perfect pup the other day to look at what they had and I was in there for 20 minutes before someone acknowledged me. The lady was rude and extremely uninterested in helping me. I asked her many questions and all her answers were short and annoyed. I wasn't done talking to her when she walked away and yelled from the back of the store "use hand sanitizer". While I know I look young and may not seem like a serious customer, that gives her no reason to treat me the way she did. I went in there expecting to possibly put a deposit down on a puppy and walked away swearing to never go in there again. I'm only giving it two stars because the puppies were cute. read more

We bought our pup, Marley OneLove under the guise that he was a hybrid puppy...specifically a CavaTzu. He was supposed to be a very laid back lap dog of about 15 lbs full grown. We made the decision to buy a hybrid because we wanted very specific traits and the CavaTzu checked all the boxes. Well Marley is now fully grown and is almost 30lbs! He has always been a very high strung dog, a nipper and full of energy. :-( At 62 years old, this was not an ideal situation for us. At our Vet's advice, we had a DNA test done and found out our "hybrid pup" was actually a "mutt" LOL Four different breeds, one of which was cocker spaniel which explained the size and temperment. I now warn everyone we talk to about The Perfect Pup and advise everyone, regardless of where they are looking to purchase a pup, to either purchase AKC registered dogs or have the facility produce a DNA for the "hybrid" pup. The fact is, we love Marley of course, but had we decided on a fully mixed breed dog, we would definitely had sought out a shelter dog. read more

I bought a soft coated wheaten here about 2 weeks ago and so far he is great. The staff is very nice and the are not puppy mill dogs. They have the breeder info for you and we researched the breeder and it was all legit. Whenever I have a question they don't get frustrated they answer all of your questions. I highly recommend it! read more

Stop Puppy Mills -- It Starts With YOU ignatures: 41,686 deadline: ongoing signature goal: 50,000 Sponsored by: Humane Society of the United States Pet stores that care about puppies don't sell them. That's because the majority of pet stores that sell puppies carry dogs from cruel and inhumane puppy mills. Puppy mills are like dog-making factories with the mother dogs spending their entire lives in cramped cages or kennels with little or no personal attention or quality of life. When the mother and father dogs can no longer breed, they are discarded or killed. Consumers who purchase puppies from pet stores or over the Internet without seeing a breeder's home firsthand are often unknowingly supporting this cruel industry. Help stop this cycle of cruelty by: 1. Choosing not to buy your next pet from a pet store or Internet site. 2. Refusing to buy supplies from any pet store or Internet site that sells puppies. 3. Always considering adoption first. Sign the pledge to stop puppy mills. read more

Puppy mills, puppy mills, puppy mills......unfortunately my father and I both fell for the BS being dished out by the owner of this place (and his mother). My dog is NOT a purebred, you could tell by looking at her as she got older that she is not a purebred beagle. I love her dearly but the paperwork I was given was completely phony and numerous beagle breeders have confirmed, as well as my vet. My father also bought a dog from them that has severe hip problems. The vet told my dad immediately that the dog was from a puppy mill, without a doubt. When he tried to contact them about it, they avoided him like the plague. When they realized he wasn't going away, the owners mother offered him $500 back as long as they agreed to sign a non-disclosure agreement! My dad refused.....it was unbelievable. These people are scum, do your research. Their breeders are listed, publicly, as being associated with puppy mills. Adopt or go to a breeder. Stay away from this awful place. read more

This puppy store is not average store. The owners dont care about there animals or dont care about the well being of the dogs they sell. They are only in for taking customers money! They even falsify there puppy guarantee. 3 yr guarantee. Any oroblems reimbursement, but they dont tell you, if dog is returned and seems unfit too resell. They will end the dogs life. I have had first hand history with this company doing so. But want my dog to have a full life. But have yet to see any reimbursement for any medical bills or help in any further medical or therapy the dog needs. The owner is rude and mean after the point of sale. So I highly recommend not buying a dog from this store. I even know of several other dogs and owners that are battling with them about the same things. read more

My family has purchased two puppies from them in the last 3 years and have had great experiences both times. They are very courteous and knowledgeable. When I have questions about my dogs health, I'll go there first and then go to the vet. They only work with breeders and provide information on who the parents are and where they're from. We take our dogs there every so often just to visit. I've also started them there for grooming. read more

The Perfect Pup is a class act! My family purchased a puppy from the store about a year ago and the staff consistently provided excellent advice in the care and training of our puppy. Recently, I visited the Perfect Pup and chatted with the owner, Chris, about a training issue we were having. Without hesitation, Chris offered to come to our home so he could observe the behavior and try to offer ideas so we would be more successful with correcting this particular behavior. Chris was a man of his word and came to our home within the week and did, in fact, help us out (and our puppy) immensely. It was obvious he wanted us to be pleased as customers of the Perfect Pup, and he truly cared about the well being of our puppy. His support and guidance was immeasurable. Once again, a real class act! read more
