I have now bought 2 puppies at Petland...the 1st was in San Antonio...my hometown..however when it came time to get my son's puppy (it was a surprise for him so we needed it before he got home from his dads house) the SA location had none. Since our experience at Petland was so awesome with our first puppy (a german shepherd), we decided to go to another Petland...it was a 4 hour drive for us, but they had the breed (siberian husky) we wanted with a few to choose from. I called and talked to someone over the phone first...and admittedly, did NOT ask the price. I figured it couldn't be a whole lot more than the location by us was (we had been researching them for a while). We finally got to the store about an hour before they closed and fell in love with our pup...they ring her up and when they told us the price...we were floored. Over 1000 dollars more than our San Antonio Petland was charging for the same breed. They justify it all with including extras that are ABSOLUTELY USELESS to someone who lives hundreds of miles away (vet visits, training, nail trimmings etc). I'm sorry...but if someone can provide proof that these items are unusable, there should be a way to not charge for this nonsense. Not to mention that all the warranty they taut is useless to me because I am not driving my sicky puppy 5 hours either and will take him to a local vet. I am not driving 5 hours to take my dog to training or a vet. Unfortunately because of timing...because we fell in love with her etc...we ended up getting her anyway...but VERY DISSAPPOINTED in this Petland. If the San Antonio Petland has your pup...I highly recommend going there as they do not charge ANY of this nonsense.
