I agree with others that say Russo's Pet Experience purchases their puppies from puppy mills. We rescued a pomeranian puppy that had been in the store for only one day. He ended up having Girardia, which humans can catch and is really bad stuff. At first we thought he had loose stools due to the change in diet and we proceeded to change him over to a complete grainless puppy food, Orijen. It worked long enough for the guarantee period to end. Unfortunately, this ended up infecting my 3 other dogs. The puppy and one of my other dogs had to go through 2 rounds of medication and the other 2 dogs only had to take 1 round of meds.. The vet mentioned that Girardia is very common in puppies that come from puppy mills. I couldn't prove that he had Girardia when he first came home, it would have been nice to at least get reimbursed for all the medications and vet visits, not to mention the lab work as well. There is no way I would have given the puppy back. He is now 5 months old and we are still having problems house training and when he goes outside on his own he goes potty on the concrete, which leads me to believe he was in some type of kennel. He is the sweetest puppy and we love him very much. We are very fortunate, so far this is the only medical problem and I pray the last. Please do your research on the breeder you choose to purchase your puppy from.
Cons: Sick puppies!
