I've noticed that there have been many harsh reviews about russo's pet experience and I thought that I'd clear things up. I worked at Russo's Fashion island for 5 months and I am also a member of P.E.T.A.(People for the ethical treatment of animals). most of the illnesses that people have been writing about are caused by exposure to many other dogs and people and are unavoidable in any place that carries a lot of animals. the owner, Dan Diciacamo wasn't the best boss but he cares deeply about the safety of the animals and only purchases them from top breeders(one of the breeders is his daughter and most of the breeders have won several best-in show awards). When I worked there, as soon as we noticed an issue with a dog we would drive them straight to the vet and have them examined. If the medical cost was too much for the store to pay, Dan would give the pet away to someone he trusted or someone an employee trusted. I have never been a fan of the conditions in pet stores but Russo's is a legitamate place to purchase a quality pet. I bought my Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Bryn there and I couldn't be happier...she was very well bred at Sanjon Kennel in Missouri which is one of the top kennels in the country. I enjoyed working at Russo's and I will definitely buy several more pets from them in the future.
Pros: well bred quality pets...NOT FROM PUPPY MILLS AT ALL!
Cons: none!
