On Nov 15, 2009, I bought my yorkie from Animal Kingdom in Grover Beach, ca. He is joy on 4 legs, but also very, very loving. He was bought on impulse, and though I don’t regret, there are things I should have done differently # 1 not trusted the pet store personnel, and probably should have bought my furbaby from a house breeder. The employees seemed very helpful & nice. So that in combination with my inexperitice made me trust them completely. They required me to buy the food the puppy supposedly ate there & a rebound, I was incentived to but $300 in accessories to get a 10% off; I signed a dozen papers relying only on the girls good faith & her lecture of the main points on each document (my mistake, their dishonesty). Problems: the puppy was 9 weeks old, not 6 weeks like stated; he didn’t ate the adult dog food they made me purchase which clearly indicates he wasn’t really under that food; vomiting and constipation followed; later I noticed I wasn’t given a sales receipt; for those who red my previous post, I’m suspecting my puppy, now 4 months, is not a purebred yorkie.I acknowledged he wasn’t akc registered (reason why he was $200 off), but they insisted that wasn’t an indicator of anything & that he was purebred. I have fallen in love w/him I don’t intend on losing my… morkie? I trully believe he IS NOT PUREBREED since he is not following the usual coat coloring defined in akc: yorkies are blue with tan. My pup was that but no white hair has grown on about 40% of his body is white instead of tan (little tan only on legs n hears). When I inquired about the food problem they failed to exchange the food. They didnt provided me w/ a copy of my receipt. I will never buy from them again and expect to file a formal complain.

Do not ever buy a puppy from these liars!I felt sorry for the little German Shepherd puppy so shy, and acted like it had been abused, on a impulse I paid $800.00 but with their Wags loan ended up paying $2800.00 for him, not including his medical bills, he has spine deformities, submissive urination, and had all his dew claws still on. he had a eating disorder, would not eat, has intestinal problems (cant get any nutrients from food) is on meds. will be completely crippled by the time he is three, and to top it off, he is a mixture of Anatolian shepherd, german shepherd, and other mixtures, not even a purebred like was told 800.00 really??? go find a breeder, dont take these liars lies, or better yet go to the Animal shelter and rescue a mixed dog, I would love to know how these pups get any exercise in the small aquariums they keep them in, makes me sick! no conscious these people, dont buy from them, so they have to quit buying from puppy mills, and letting people drop off pups in the parking lot, not knowing a damn thing about them, giving 25.00 or 50.00 and selling them for 500.00--to 2500.00 shame on you animal kingdom, My friend just purchased the most beautiful German Shepherd ever, from Craigs list for 300.00 quit buying from these liars!!

I purchased my Lhaso Apso puppy here about a week ago and shes been great! Shes happy, healthy, and pretty smart. The service was great, the young lady was very informative and honest when I asked questions regarding health and guarantee. I also asked about the reviews on the internet and she was honest about those too. All these puppies come from individual breeders. And contrary to what the reviews may say, theyre happy! We went in twice, getting a puppy is a huge responsibility, but wach visit, all puppies were playful and energetic. My puppy was bred in Visalia. I chose to purchase and not adopt because Id tried our local ASPCA and even some non local adoption agencies, and neither had a dog that fit my needs. Some agencies even turned us down because we lived too far away from them. Anyway, I dont owe an explanation to anyone why I purchased but Im happy I did. Shes a happy healthy puppy and we couldnt be happier. Thank you!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE! They claim that their puppies are not from puppy mills, but that is a 100% LIE. Puppies that are advertised as AKC registered ARE NOT able to be registered. They will NOT give you any information about the parents. We made the mistake of falling in love with a French Mastiff and bought her on a whim. When trying to get her registration information, the owner REFUSED to supply us with it. We began to experience aggressiveness, a sign that she was ABUSED as a puppy before we got her. Please do NOT let yourself or your family fall in love with a puppy, as you will suffer heartbreak and ENDLESS troubles with ANYTHING bought from Animal Kingdom Pet Store. The owner is RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND A SUPPORTER OF PUPPY MILLS.

Went in and spoke with someone working there. He told me he warranties the animals so thats why he charges so much. Of course i had explained that an aquaintance had sold her puppies to this store at 250 a piece and he turned around and sold them for 1250. Some warranty. Btw he did not know that i was aware he was the owner. All of this being said youre better off looking on craigslist and getting your dog vaccinated yourself. (The aquaintance also posted on craigslist) And for people looking to adopt go to the shelters first...not only to look for a pet but to see what happens when they are abandoned.

I co-owned a bulldog puppie which hadnt even been registered yet and they allowed co-owner to trade a $3000 Eng. Bulldog pup for a $600 Boston terrier pup straight across and then turned around and sold pup that wasnt even teirs to sell for $2500 not to mention unregistered. When I called them and asked regarding the pup first the owner acted like he didnt know what I was talking about and than got very hostile...Its a shame that people in this type of community need to run their business that way...CD"s is an amazing pet store, good honest helpful people...

Staff here is super friendly and helpful! They gladly answered all of our questions and gave us good advice. Spent about 45 minutes here trying to decide on buying this puppy or not. The staff let us hold the puppy as long as we wanted and didnt push us to buy the dog but instead gave good advice and went out of their way to make sure we were picking the right puppy for us out of the litter. I recommend going here if you are looking for a super cute puppy with a friendly staff!
