Petland Dayton, Ohio works only with breeders who meet applicable licensing requirements and established regulatory standards. Breeders are selected based on strong compliance histories and adherence to animal welfare and veterinary care guidelines. When required, breeders maintain appropriate state-level licensing, and out-of-state breeders operate under their respective state regulations. Many breeder partners also participate in recognized breed and care certification programs and must meet additional program standards to maintain those credentials. In some cases, we may work with small hobby breeders who specialize in a single breed. These breeders are carefully screened and must follow our humane care guidelines and medical protocols.

It is the only program that not only incorporates measures of the physical health of dogs and puppies raised by breeders, but also strongly emphasizes their behavioral well-being. The certification program is based on standards developed and led by Dr. Candace Croney, Ph.D. at Purdue University in 2013. Consumers and pet owners can be assured that dogs and puppies raised by the program’s certified breeders are cared for under stringent standards.

My man and I came by Monday, just looking around and ended up leaving with ALL three ferrets they had. We planned to get just two but the other one jumped up to us like she wanted to come too. Petland threw in a free ferret kit if we got the third one. I liked their financing plans they had as well it’s an easy way to bump my credit. So far Matcha, Mocha, and Lottie are loving their home. They love playing with the dogs and I love their silly personalities. I only wish they came potty trained, they didn’t have a specific area for them to pee or poop In so potty training has been a little difficult for the two older girls, only reason why I’m doing 4 stars instead of 5. But we are very happy with our girls and the free ferret kit ended up helping us a lot more than we expected 🫶🏻 thank you to whoever said it was okay to throw it in. It’s also a very specious pet land compared to the one next to my job, we will probably be back. Posted on Google Daniel a Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
