Petland is the largest retailer of puppy mill dogs. There are thousands of puppy mills—mass-breeding operations where mother dogs spend their entire lives in cramped cages—across the country being supported by pet stores like Petland. Pet stores sell puppies to make a profit, so puppies with expensive medical needs often don’t get professional veterinary care that would cut into the store’s revenue. Instead, they receive ad-hoc treatment from staff members in back rooms that are not open to the public. While many pet stores around the nation have transitioned to a more humane model by no longer selling puppies from commercial breeders, instead focusing on pet products and services, Petland doubles down on its outdated model by lobbying against laws that would stop the sale of puppy mill dogs in pet stores. If you really care about animals and their welfare, please stop supporting these types of businesses. Please spread the word amongst family and friends so we can shut this company down once and for all.
