Why should I buy a puppy from Today’s Pet rather than a private or backyard breeder?

At Today’s Pet we work with a committed team of over 14,000 breeders from over 27 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 use “backyard breeders."

Each Today’s Pet puppy is hand selected from various litters by one of our buyers. The puppies' Sires and Dams have been background checked 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 checked extensively by several veterinarians. We begin with the breeder's 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, and has its ears cleaned. Special breeds including Poodles, Schnauzers, Cockers and many others are beautifully groomed by professional groomers. Detail is carefully applied to each and every puppy.

When it comes time to leave our quarantine facility each puppy is again thoroughly examined by a second veterinarian. Puppies that aren’t physically ready to travel to our store are retained until they are certified healthy.
