Business ProfileforPetland Sarasota

on 10/13/2023 we bought a puppy for over $9,600. After falling in love with him at the store we made the decision to buy him. Of course their sales tactic of "someone else is interested in him so you might want to jump on getting him, he wont be here long....etc.". We felt pressured to make the decision to buy him that day despite our concerns about our senior dog which we were planning on coming back with the next day with but after being told "he may not be here tomorrow" and that the next day may be complicated to bring in our dog with an event that was to be hosted that day, we risked it and just bought him. We paid cash and was given his paperwork. We were told all puppies are seen by vets while under their care and that our pup was HEALTHY, we were given the health details as "proof" he was fine to go home. We did notice a noise with his nose (like a stuffy nose) however after being told he should be in perfect health we did not think much about it and trusted the vet paperwork and their word. After going through paperwork we brought him home. The next 2 days we enjoyed our time together without an issue. Three days later his stuffy nose became more obvious, he then began to cough and started discharging mucus from his nose (2 day return policy was exceeded at that point). We scheduled his first vet visit within the 5 day period. He was diagnosed with giardia (parasite) and an upper respiratory infection. He was given rounds of medication (which he is still taking today). He began eating less and sleeping more often. Today we are constantly on alert with him and have visited the vet more than a handful of times in the short period of time we got him (One visit was for an emergency visit for ****** STOOL). This was not how we were planning on spending our time with our new baby, this is not only unfair for us but also for our pup! We were lied to and deceived! if conditions aren't met we will be escalating the issue and suing this company!
