Since I live in the area I would always stop in Vanity pups just to look at the cute puppies; the place is really adorable. I will give it to them for presentation; the puppies are in little bassanettes, the store is very clean, and they have nice merchanidise displayed for the pups. They also have a great sales girl there, she really knows her stuff about the dogs and answers all questions; shes great. One day I was in there and fell in love w/a little yorkie and before I knew it I was taking her home. Later that night she was sneezing and coughing a little so I took her to the Bayside Vet (who Vanity Pups works with) the next day. They told me she had kennel cough and gave me meds to give her. After about 2 days the meds werent really doing anything and her cough was getting worse; I had to rush her to another vet. Well my little baby didn't have kennel cough, she had full blown bronchitis and if I didn't get her to a vet when I did she could have died. The new vet informed me that this didnt just develop over the 3-4 days I had her; she told me I was sold a sick dog and gave me an unfit for sale form to bring back to Vanity Pups! Now since I took my puppy to another vet I had to pay the vet bill out of my own pocket, so now i was out about $200-$300. I went back to Vanity Pups to try to get my money back. The owner gave me a bit of a hard time but after about an hour going back and forth he gave me about 80% of my money back that I spent at the vet. At that point I just wanted to get out of there so I took the money and left. After this happened to me I looked these guys up online and saw some pretty bad and disturbing reviews. I do not regret getting my puppy , I love her and couldn't imagine being without her now; but I would never go back to that place again.
