We purchased Zoe from Animal Kingdom on April 7th 2010. We weren't too keen on getting a dog from a pet store, would rather have adopted from the humane society, but the minute we laid eyes on her we fell in LOVE. All was great until a week after buying her she began to have diarrhea. We took her into the vet and she tested positive for both giardia and coccidia, which Animal Kingdom told us she tested negative for. Both of these parasites take up to 2 weeks from infection to symptoms so we know for a fact she has them before we bought her. Had her to the vet last week and she has finally kicked the coccidia but we are still on round 3 of treatment for the giardia. It has turned out to be VERY expensive treating her for something that should have been treated before we got her or could have been prevented by the store keeping it's environment cleaner. After initially finding out that she had these two parasites we went down to Animal Kingdom to inform them and they were extremely rude and didn't seem concerned at all. Everyone that I have spoken to that has purchased and animal from there has had nothing but bad things to say about them. Everything from giardia to crushed windpipes. I would highly discourage anyone from buying a pet or supplies there. I find it absoultely irresponsible for a business owner to practice the way they do. Hopefully we can get the word out so they go out of business or get shut down.
Cons: Everything
