I recently bought a maltese pup from vanity pups. As soon as I received the dog I noticed that the dog was rubbing his butt on my floors. I took him to the vet to see if he had worms or any parasites. He had Giardia. When I found this out I looked at my contract with vanity pups and they provided the Breeders ID to see if they received any fines. And to my shock the place that breaded my dog had numerous fines. Every time they were on the premises they received a fine for dirty kennels, and sleep areas for the dogs. One of the fines for sanitation was given recently in May 2011. When you buy a dog or think about buying a dog please check out the breeders license number and do your background check before you make a commitment like this. Mike saw how upset I was and said he would watch the puppy for 10-14 days and get another fecal sample done on him to see if the Giardia went away. Dogs get Giardia by dirty water, and being around other infected dogs because its in their feces. So my dog was with vanity pups for the 2 weeks and he had another fecal done and it came back negative. When I came in to pick up the dog mike stayed in his office pretty much the whole time and I did not get the nice customer service i received when first buying the dog. I noticed that my dogs bed which he had with him at vanity pups WAS SOAKED WITH PEE and had poop in it. Now my dog pees constantly in his crate and bed and I have to get him checked to see if he has a urinary tract infection. Also I looked over the diagnostic paper that i was given to show my dogs fecal was negative and my dog is 5months but its good to know that they tested a dog that was 2months old. Now I have to go to my vet and get a UTI test and another fecal test. Thanks vanity pups for nothing it def seems like all you guys care about is getting good reviews on your company and the money. I used to praise vanity pups but not anymore. I let all my friends know the situation they left me with my dog and Giardia is very contagious so if you bought a dog from vanity pups or had them watch your dog during may-june I would get your dog checked for Giardia or any other parasites.
