Petland store in Frisco, Texas is facing citations after undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the United States finds sick puppies and a lack of veterinary care.
Between July and August 2019, a hidden-camera investigation conducted by the Humane Society of the United States in the Frisco, Texas Petland store found heartless animal mistreatment and disease. City animal control charges are reportedly pending against the Frisco Petland store after HSUS investigators presented documentation of sick puppies to animal control and described puppies in the pet store’s back room who were too sick to eat or were suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea.
As someone whose worked there I can confirm a lot of this…. Unfortunately. And I’m apparently not allowed to talk about it… but those animals deserve better. We literally had a pomsky with a defect and I was told it’s being sent back and probably euthanized. Countless chameleons have died because of lack of care and maintenance on a daily basis. I attempted to use my own products from home to help out (since they were using a UVB bulb 24/7 for “heat” when it emits very little heat. Which they shouldn’t have the uvb that long only 12 hrs) only to be passive aggressively accused of messing with things without permission. And store using things. We didn’t have a GM and the two besties were in charge and def chose favorites. Let’s see there’s more….. oh having a puppy die in my arms the min I arrived at a emergency vet clinic because the person in charge of the puppies’ health said he was fine when the kennel manager told them they were not fine. An old GM refused to let anyone take a sick dog to the vet because of the holidays and it passed during the night. Constantly forget about the sick animals in the back, basically once their sick theyre just left to die. Constantly forget about the reptiles on the top shelf so they’d just shrivel up and die from lack of moisture. I was yelled at because I was trying to get this puppy to eat but kennel wasn’t open exactly on the time we opened which mattered more than the puppy eating. Then to top it off being scolded for not bugging someone to finance and take a puppy home when they clearly aren’t ready for a commitment like that — we are trying to find the best homes for puppies right? But that doesn’t technically matter because as long as they’re going home it’s fine. Just no! You can tell the types of people who impulsively get a puppy and the countless husbands or wives or people in general that bring them back because someone got mad is just nuts. And I just my heart hurts for all the puppies that are rejected for the stupidest reasons…. A BASSET HOUND HAD A HERNIA SURGERY AND THE STITCHES WERE SO BAD YOU COULD STILL SEE INSIDE HER STOMACH…. BUT WE WERENT ALLOWED TO WRAP IT BECAUSE IT WOULD LOOK BAD TO THE PUBLIC…..
Just an AWFUL place to work at….. I couldn’t do it anymore. I’m way too empathetic to watch animals suffer like that….
Talking from a employee we do not freeze the are animals in Iowa, we give them proper care, please don’t shut down the facilities, maybe some of them do need to be put down but think about what will happen to all of the puppies at the place if you do shut the franchise down, no hate though!
This infuriates me to no end. Then they try and sell these sick puppies to people for $10,000 and target low income families and people to try for a loan that ends up making them pay near to $20,000 after interest and leaves the potential owners to pay what ever vet bills it will take to get the puppies better if that is even a possibility! Tell me what I need to do. I will go undercover if they need it.
Petland should go to H3LL!
In 2022 I’m shocked anyone would get a an animal from a pet store. Where’s the common sense?
They have sick puppies a lot
WTF… this is sickening. NEEDS TO STOP. I want all the puppies to have a safe and loving home but I don’t understand puppy mills. And the freezing part, first time hearing that.. that’s fucking disturbing and so sad. You sick piece of shits. I would sue all of you. Why are on earth would anyone do anything so cruel and scary. This video makes me so so sad. Best is with a breeder who knows what they are doing. Poor babies, they don’t deserve this..
How the heck is petland allowed to stay in business? They need to be shut down permanently.
This literally made me cry! How can people be sO cruel! These poor animals depend on us, humans to care for them and they jus disregard needing medical attention. I feel sO sorry for all those animals. I recently found a dog at Petland I liked. After doing my research I will not purchase him however, I do feel extremely sad for the puppy. He couldn’t help his situation. What’s going to happen to him *cries*? People who run puppy mills and Petland need to be stopped! There is a special place waiting for them in HELL too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a reason we haven’t shut down Petland across the USA/wherever the hell else they are and charged the employees with animal cruelty or something? They should all be thrown in jail and we need to start executing these people who engage in puppy mills.
More like pet hell , poor babies
i used to work at petland and let me tell you i couldn’t even last there a long time the things i saw were horrible and no one cares abt the dog. they only care abt the money they make
Maybe I’m being naïve. But I’m shocked that these places are not a legal how is that not happened already? Today I was walking to the grocery store and there was a Petland across the street. I was very sad to see more than 50 dogs cramed in small plastic cages most cages had three or four dogs in laying on top of each other.
Funny how the Houston humane will go undercover and take videos but wouldn’t even see my dog on Saturday after I drove 2hrs to see them. She was dead by Monday night
satyanaash hoga sab ka sab ko Saja milegi tabahi aaygi
Loved this video.
THEY ARE LYING DONT BELIVE A WORD THEY SAY
Guys. Y’all gotta stop making hate videos because you have nothing better to do. Yes we freeze the animals if they pass away so that their body doesn’t decompose. Then we take it to the vet when we have time. They also aren’t dying because of us their dying because they got a disease from whoever the breeder was. That’s all.
No. 1
SAVE THOES PUPPIES!
Them shut them the heck down! We can’t just let those animals suffer!
What was the vacuüm at 0:15?
I got a puppy from petland so glad i got her before they mistreated her
These videos are absolutely terrible I am an employee at a petland location and I can tell you that it depends on the location we try and take care of our animals but I can’t say the same for other locations
Petland more like Deathland
The government should shut all petland a down . But they don’t care as long as they get their tax money from all the sick dogs sold .
I live in chlllicothe, ohio. PETLAND’S HEADQUARTERS. where i live, so many people are still being fooled by this company. everyone acts like they don’t have any problem that these pets are pretty much being exposed in those small ass compartments. people seem blind to the fact that there’s 2 other places where you can get pets that are much better, and kids believe that this is how all people get pets
I took a visit… its even worse then in the video
Acatully the sick part is actaully true we got my dog from pet land and he was sick when we first. Got him
The bunnies…..I bought one once and she wouldn’t eat drink or do anything….
this is so weird! i went to petland yesterday thinking it was a good store, but no it is not. I feel bad for those animals!
SICK!
I am so ashamed that our pet-loving country allows this. Greedy CEO’s only using animals for money. This is appalling and heartbreaking. I am even more shocked at how FEW people are aware of what a puppy mill even is! How do people not know yet?! They have phones. I guess marketing is that good. I walked into a Petland store last week (unknowingly), smelled and heard the puppies immediately as I was walking in, looked around to see if there was a shelter adoption event (*fingers crossed*), saw the cages, and almost left. Before I left I said to the store associates who had asked me if they could help me find something, "I’m sorry, I have to leave. I cannot support this." They probably thought I was the biggest "Karen" ever, but I don’t care. If they work there and KNOW how those babies are treated, they must hate animals. More people need to walk into their stores and show their disdain. I hope corporate sees the store videotape and thinks twice. They probably won’t but I can hope. Better yet, write a letter. They need to be shut down.
What kind of a sick bastards freeze live animals? Why are they in business?
adopt dont shop! shout for Awareness its not okay for puppies to be treated this way!
I love petland
That is terrible.
So what has been done about THIS??? This is horrendous.. Animals have rights…
I wish i knew this before !!!!! I bought a puppy for my daughter from petland and the dog was so sick the morning after !! And petland acted like they didn’t know and left me with the vet bills !! They are nasty and all of them need to be locked up !!!!!
I got my dog from pet land and no wonder it gets dirirea everytime it walks back in there
So I manager a petland kennel. Idk who runs that one but tahts ot how my owner kperate shos location and we have a vet clinic. Right next door we are partnered with. My puos get seen by a vet 2 times a week and I’ve only had one pup pass under my supervision after he beat parvo. Not all petlands run the same. The man I work for goes through the best breeding facilitys in the US. No puppy mills (which unfortunately exist) people will always want "designer breeds" and dog you cnat find in shelters. Just adopt responsibly
WHY DONT THEY BAN PETLAND IN WISCONSIN YET
Can’t/couldn’t watch til the end! These are God’s creatures may they all get punishment especially all the company be Shot Down immediately!!
