Petland Investigations: Pet Store Doublespeak: Puppy Buyer’s Guide:

Petland in Florida: Where Do They Get Their Puppies? Petland claims that they only buy from breeders with “the highest standards,” but the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has found that they continue to buy from known puppy mills and out-of- state brokers that deal with puppy mills. The Florida Petlands bought puppies from at least five major brokers which the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has cited for multiple violations. Several of the Florida Petlands also purchased directly from one or more known, notorious puppy mills.

A broker is a “middleman” animal dealer that buys puppies from many different kennels and puppy mills for resale to pet stores.
