Do yourself a favor and do NOT walk into this store. My daughter and I walked in last week looking for some supplies and we had to walk right out. The stench in that place is indescribable, my only thought was that this is what death must smell like. I have no idea how the employees in that store manage to breathe and stay alive. After we ran out in horror, my daughter pointed out that one of the employees were eating. Eating in that stench! Gross! It took a while for us to compose ourselves and get that smell out of our systems. Never in my life have we smelled anything like this. I cannot imagine how much suffering any animal in this shop goes through. They clearly do not care for them or clean their cages, ever.

They sell dogs with the Parvo virus and they are all from puppy mills. Parvo virus us extremely contagious. Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious viral disease that can produce a life-threatening illness. The virus attacks rapidly dividing cells in a dogs body, most severely affecting the intestinal tract. Parvovirus also attacks the white blood cells, and when young animals are infected, the virus can damage the heart muscle and cause lifelong cardiac problem What Are the General Symptoms of Parvovirus? The general symptoms of parvovirus are lethargy, severe vomiting, loss of appetite and bloody, foul-smelling diarrhea that can lead to life-threatening dehydration. How Is Parvovirus Transmitted? Parvovirus is extremely contagious and can be transmitted by any person, animal or object that comes in contact with an infected dog's feces. Highly resistant, the virus can live in the environment for months, and may survive on inanimate objects such as food bowls, shoes, clothes, carpet and floors. It is common for an unvaccinated dog to contract parvovirus from the streets, especially in urban areas where there are many dogs. How Is Parvovirus Diagnosed? Veterinarians diagnose parvovirus on the basis of clinical signs and laboratory testing. The Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbant Assay (ELISA) test has become a common test for parvovirus. The ELISA test kit is used to detect parvovirus in a dogs stools, and is performed in the vets office in about 15 minutes. Because this test is not 100% sensitive or specific, your veterinarian may recommend additional tests and bloodwork. Which Dogs Are Prone to Parvovirus? Puppies, adolescent dogs and canines who are not vaccinated are most susceptible to the virus. The canine parvovirus affects most members of the dog family (wolves, coyotes, foxes, etc.). Breeds at a higher risk are Rottweilers, Doberman pinschers, Labrador retrievers, American Staffordshire terriers and German shepherds. How Can Parvovirus Be Prevented? You can protect your dog from this potential killer by making sure hes up-to-date on his vaccinations. Parvovirus should be considered a core vaccine for all puppies and adult dogs. It is usually recommended that puppies be vaccinated with combination vaccines that take into account the risk factors for exposure to various diseases. One common vaccine, called a 5-in-1, protects the puppy from distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus and parainfluenza. Generally, the first vaccine is given at 6-8 weeks of age and a booster is given at four-week intervals until the puppy is 16-20 weeks of age, and then again at one year of age. A puppys vaccination program is not complete before four months of age. Older dogs who have not received full puppy vaccination series may be susceptible to parvovirus and should also receive at least one immunization. Consult with your veterinarian about how often your dog will need to be revaccinated. Because parvovirus can live in an environment for months, you will want to take extra care if there has been an infected dog in your house or yard. Some things are easier to clean and disinfect than others-and even with excellent cleaning, parvovirus can be difficult to eradicate. Parvo is resistant to many typical disinfectants. A solution of one part bleach to 32 parts water can be used where organic material is not present. The infected dogs toys, food dish and water bowl should be properly cleaned and then disinfected with this solution for 10 minutes. If not disinfected, these articles should be discarded. You can also use the solution on the soles of your shoes if you think you've walked through an infected area. Areas that are harder to clean (grassy areas, carpeting and wood, for example) may need to be sprayed with disinfectant, or even resurfaced.

Please read all other reviews, they speak for themselves. I have no idea how this store is still open and in business ... probably thanks to all other dumbasses like myself. My boyfriend bought me a dog here over 2 years ago. Thank God we SAVED the poor man from these torturous money hungry jerks. The owner saw that I fell in love with a dog and talked my ear off until I begged my boyfriend to buy the dog. The dog, Claimed to be Bichon Frise, was sold to us for $1600 which is an absurd price (we didn't know better). The dog is not a Bichon. The owner told me that by 2 years old he'll be around 15-20 pounds, but the dog is barely 7. He is mix of God knowns what breeds and people always ask me if he is a Maltese? I wonder why. Let me know start with the vet friend that the owner sends you to. 2 days after purchasing my dog had a cough which I was terrified of. I brought him to ocean side animal clinic, as recommended by the owner of this PUPPY MILL and the vet went on to tell me that the dog might have cancer and I had to sign up for dog insurance provided by the pet store to pay for the extensive examinations and testing. I went for a second opinion and the cough ended up being a reverse sneezing which is common in dogs. These people will suffer down the line because they hurt dogs directly and thruthful human beings indirectly. Shawn on you.
