Petland - Tulsa

Can I hand out negative five stars? Despite what they claim, they get puppies from puppy mill breeders which they sell at inflated prices with a myriad of health issues purchasers are on the hook for. If you can't see the parents, don't buy!! Better yet, got through a rescue. There are plenty of breed specific dog rescues around.It's a shame that in 2024 pet stores selling cats and dogs are still around.Since the business owner alike still be judgmental, i reiterate RESPONSIBLE AND ETHICAL BREEDERS let you see the parents. Petland won't even provide records of the "breeders" they use.

I never wanted to shop from Petland but my boyfriend was adamant about getting his dream puppy. Great I LOVE puppies. But his dream puppy was ready and available at Petland. I tried talking him out of buying and tried getting him to adopt or rescue but he was dead set on his hearts want. Well $6,500 later it turns into a rescue and not a buying situation anyway. The entire process of getting your pup is sketchy from the start. WHY am I paying $5000 for a dog? (We accepted the amount of money, we knew we could have said no. Our issue isn't the 5,000 but it's the "why" behind the $5000)You can get an AKC pup from a breeder for around 500-1200 depending on your breed choice.Well what you're getting from Petland is your pup and a "welcome package"Which includes a nice Cage, potty pads, a GIANT HAMSTER water bottle, (they aren't even good for hamsters or any rodent for that matter it'll destroy their teeth imagine using that with a dog) a hand full of toys, "mouth stimulation" just in case your puppy who is in "good healthy condition" doesn't want to eat, you can get your pup insured (for an extra $100 through a company that isn't petland) you also get 10% off at their recommended vet your first visit is free! (Don't go to their vet like my boyfriend who wanted to play by the books did) oh and they walk you through the store so you can pick out a few things to take home with your pup. During this walk they tell you to buy some of their food because it's what all their puppies are on and they need to transition. You can tell them yes you'll take the little bag because you're going to transition to a better food but they will claim what they have is best (it's not, it's actually on the same level as pedigree or IAMS) anyway after a short argument I was finally able to choose the small bag. As we finished up the transaction with our pup we heard the employees bragging about all the "not optional" things they got us to get. You're telling me I could have gone home paying less than $5000? When I asked about that it was deny deny deny. Well anyway. We brought our puppy home and while she is the cutest thing in the world and her "medical record" from Petland was "all good" her first potty at home was a bloody liquid mess. We checked the papers to see if it was noted and nope sure wasn't! We took her to their recommended vet who told us "ah that's normal puppy stuff it'll pass" and then they diagnosed her with an ear infection without even looking at or swabbing her ear. Well we went on our way and guess what? That visit wasn't free that's where $100 went to nothing. Once we got her to our vet they ran parvo test among others, did some bloodwork actually took a fecal sample and sent it off got her on preventatives and $800 later we learn there's no ear infection, she does have an alarming amount of parasites that she's now been treated for, her little teeth had a few issues too.Long story short. PetLand is one of those places where you can believe everything you read about it on the internet. The employees aren't to blame, we all need a check to go home with at the end of the week. The company itself can form some better practices though.

My brother and I were walking about pet land seeing all the cute animals! Wonderful staff except one young lady! We walked by as they were feeding the snakes and we wanted to watch from a distance! This young lady looked at me and told me "they don't like an audience while there feeding" we were standing pretty far back I would say! My 12 year old brother is autistic and he kinda took it to heart the way she snapped at us! After she said that we walked out to my car while he's all teary-eyed! This happened on Tuesday November 12th at 7:30 pet land please let your employees know to not be rude towards customers who are wanting to purchase animals from you! All we wanted was to look at the reptiles and this rude nasty lady ruined his night! Do better! She could have gone about that in a totally different way!

Read the link from the Himane Society below, and the report.Petland consistently buys from puppy mills and breeders with violations. Some pups may come from safe places, but do you really want to take the chance of getting a dog from a bad situation and potentially keep those places running? Educate yourself before you buy!!!!!! https://www.humanesociety.org/news/horrible-hundred-report-exposes-disturbing-realities-puppy-mills-including-do-it-yourself

Wednesday November13 of 2024 I had went in to killl time before work- well I had checked out the ferrets cus I have wanted one for some time! Well I had seen a little dark one in there and he looked really cute and so I stuck my hand in the inclosure they have signs posted you can do this well on sign did say "handle with care may bite" and well they have bit me before it never drew blood or break skin well this little black ferret when I went to set it down turned around and latched on to my had pulling and trashing cause it to make me bleed I immediately let the employees and what I only assume it was the manger know about this incident and they basically said it was my fault and offered no first aid I wouldn't be upset if they had offered a bandaid or even like "oh okay we will keep an eye out" they blew me off and basically didn't care,

Most disturbing thing I've seen in a long time. I went in here looking to get tags engraved for my dogs and was appalled by what I saw. Gerbil like cages with harsh lighting and grate like bottoms that cannot be comfortable. Every single enclosure had piles of diarrhea on the bottom and dogs only source of water was little gerbil water feeders. Many of the animals looked either sick, dirty, or drugged up. Questioning how this is legal as these are clearly puppy mill dogs. What happens when no one adopts these dogs ? Begging you to rescue and not support this disgusting place. There are so many animals out there that are just as cute and don't come with a host of health problems.

The first time I walked into the store the ripe smell of feces and urine greeted me. The cages for the puppies were in deplorable condition, no water bowls out to properly hydrate the pups! Just rabbit waterers! They stand on grates all day that let their tiny toes slip through, they're crowded 2+ in an area. Not even Tulsa Animal Welfare treats animals like this (the shelter is over capacity so adoptions are FREE right now! Go find your new furry friend!) Also: DO NOT PET THESE DOGS AND GO HOME TO PET YOUR OWN, WASH YOUR HANDS PLEASE!!! Literally ALL of their puppies are in various stages of respiratory illness (either parvo or kennel cough) once you buy the puppy, within 48 hours you'll notice they're sick and take them to a vet, the vet will say it's parvo and you're going to be out another 4-5k for a dog you already overpaid for! Employees are all undertrained and because of the high turnover rate they never get taught what to look for in a sick puppy. All of their puppy's are EXTREMELY under socialized and VERY mouthy/nippy! They don't get much time to run and play so they are tight wrapped balls of energy. Please don't buy from here, I got my German shepherd from a local gentleman for $800, registered and great temperament. Please don't get scammed and buy one of these puppies the company has fricked over for the rest of their lives. If you bring it home, you're the one stuck with the behavioral issues these dogs all have for the next 12-15 years...Edit to add since the owner can't understand. Tulsa Animal Welfare treats their animals BETTER than Petland! Animal welfare has 3-4X the animals and cares for them better than the corporation Petland of Tulsa! Tulsa Animal Welfare has KENNELS OUTSIDE FOR THEIR DOGS TO GET FRESH AIR. Just because your puppies are sick doesn't mean they die daily, respiratory illness take time to incubate. Facts are? You keep your animals in tight spaces and any illness one has? Spreads to the rest. Do I have to remind you of the myriad of reviews below stating their new puppies were sick at the vet with parvo???if so? Just scroll once and I'm sure you'll run into a few. You also mentioned all puppies are mouthy and nippy. Not like yours hun, yours are the worst I've ever met regarding mouthiness, please I'm begging you if you have a small child DO NOT get a puppy here, get a puppy that stayed with their mom an extra week or two, they are a lot less nippy because their mom DOES train them! You and your business are the problem, you are looking to buy puppies for a few hundred dollars each and resell them for thousands. It's disgusting. It would be nice if you ACTUALLY improved these dogs lives and invest into them with training or gave them an actual comfortable place to exist in the mean time. But all you are is a reseller and a reseller of animals. I have no respect for what you're doing in this world. I do horribly dislike your business specifically. It should not exist. Anyone want to start protesting like in Texas?You say I'm emotional and what I've posted is untrue? Then why is it not ONLY me saying it? Huh?

friendly staff, very knowledgeable and helpful. a variety of breeds and different options to choose from.

If I could give a zero I would. Do not purchase a puppy from them. We purchased a puppy on Sun. Our vet was down on Tuesday. And diagnosed him with kennel cough which is a generic term for upper respiratory infection. He is now in the hospital with possible pneumonia/distemper We contacted Petland their lack of concern was astonishing. It almost seems like they are a puppy mill. If your dog dies under the warranty you can get another dog for free. Like we would take another puppy from them.

everytime I come in the employees always are asking if I need any help finding anything I need they are always explaining anything I have questions about.
