Here at Today’s Pet we work with a committed team of thousands of breeders from all over the United States. Our breeders are experienced professionals, well educated and committed to good animal husbandry. Our breeders love what they do and it shows in the superior quality of their puppies. At no time do we sacrifice the quality of our puppies and use typical “backyard breeders.” Each Today’s Pet puppy is hand selected from various litters by one of our buyers. The puppies Sire and Dam have been checked against our database for any previously reported debilitating hereditary defects within their line which may prevent the puppy from being a companion pet. This minimizes the possibilities that any puppy will experience health difficulties during its life. Puppies are visually examined by several veterinarians. We begin with the breeders own veterinarian. Each puppy is then checked in at one of our quarantine facilities where an intake veterinarian examines and scrutinizes each puppy for any musculoskeletal problems.

During this five day stay each puppy is bathed, brushed, nails trimmed, ears are cleaned and each puppy is updated on all vaccinations and wormings. Special breeds including Poodles, Schnauzers, Cockers and many others are beautifully groomed by professional groomers. Kawasaki T-Shirts SaleDetail is carefully applied to each and every puppy.

Nine out of the 12 pet stores in Maryland known to sell puppies were found to be apparently not complying with a Maryland law that took effect a year ago to protect dogs and consumers. During a two-week undercover investigation [PDF] in September, undercover investigators from The Humane Society of the United States and Baltimore-based ReLove Animals, Inc. visited the stores to see if they were complying with a new state law (Md. Code, Bus. Reg. §§ 19-701 to 707), which requires the stores to post certain information about their puppies' origins conspicuously on each cage. The law was designed to give consumers more information about where the dogs were raised, and help them avoid buying puppies from puppy mills. In one especially problematic pet store, Genesis Pets of Capitol Heights, investigators found that not only did the store fail to post any information on the puppies' cages, but one Rottweiler puppy was so ill and underweight that ReLove Animals, Inc., contacted local law enforcement immediately.

Prince George’s County Animal Control responded and seized the sick and malnourished puppy. When ReLove Animals, Inc., called Animal Control for an update a few days later, they were told that Animal Control had taken the puppy to a veterinarian, who diagnosed the puppy with coccidia and pneumonia. To The HSUS's knowledge, the puppy now remains in custody of animal control. Read the report on the pet stores investigated [PDF] » Julianne Brown of ReLove Animals, Inc. said: "ReLove has documents linking numerous puppy mills to Maryland pet stores, but most of them won't post any of that information on the puppies' cages. We have to wonder what these stores were trying to hide." The new law was introduced last year by Del. Nic Kipke, R-Anne Arundel, and Sen. Catherine Pugh, D-Baltimore City, and requires pet stores to disclose basic information about the origin of the puppies they sell. It also enables people who purchase a sick puppy from a pet store to receive a refund for veterinary expenses up to the purchase price of the puppy.

The law passed by overwhelming bipartisan votes last year, and went into effect on October 1, 2012. The investigators were specifically looking to see if the stores were complying with a disclosure portion of the law, which requires stores to post "conspicuously on each dog's cage" the "state in which the breeder or dealer of the dog is located" and "the United States Department of Agriculture license number of the breeder or dealer, if required." The HSUS provided its findings to the Maryland Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, which oversees enforcement of this law. "Buying a pet can be one of our most important and exciting purchases," said Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler, who strongly supported the legislation's passage. "Consumers deserve to have accurate information, as required by law, about where puppies come from to ensure they are purchasing a healthy pet that was raised in a humane environment." **Photos and video of undercover investigation and contact information of an affected pet store buyer available upon request.
