Vanity Pups reviews and complaints
Dog
We purchased a puppy that was promised to be a tea-cup-toy (small dog) and the dog has not stopped growing. The money spent was wasted and we are more than disappointed with Michael & Lauren. They are extremely nice, but alas, do not know much about dog breeds. After spending $1, 300 for a dog that we could have adopted from a shelter, we feel duped and...

My bf and I purchased a 9 week old baby Cockapoo (Biscuit) on Sunday @ VanityPups and the poor baby died on Thursday. Mike and the girls at the shop provided excellent customer service and went through everything with us upon buying the puppy. We felt so comfortable with them and left with this baby. By Tuesday night we were in the Vet with her (Bayside Animal Clinic) bc she wasn't eating, seemed lethargic and had diarrhea. The Vet said it may be due to the stress of a new home, sent her home with some vitamins to give her for the week and that was that. By Thursday, same symptoms, worse diarrhea, vomiting, and the poor thing could barely lift herself. I scheduled an appt. with Bayside Animal Clinic that same day and when I walked into my apt. to pick her up, she was practically lifeless laying in her own vomit and diarrhea. I RAN to the vet with her. They brought her to another room for an IV and I was then told that she was doing a little better but was going to be brought to the Emergency hospital to be looked after overnight and tested to determine what was causing her vomiting/diarrhea. I received a call that same night stating that she died. We were never told what the actually puppy was ill from.
Mike was informed and business wise, did handle the situation very appropriately, offering a full refund and apologizing profusely for the situation. Regardless, NOTHING can possibly make up or comfort us around this horrific experience. We were clearly sold an ill puppy by the store and I believe the clinic may have sent her back way too quickly without a thorough exam. In the days we had her we provided a loving, safe environment and did everything we could for this little baby. It was a traumatic experience that NO ONE should ever have and I would HIGHLY recommend not purchasing a puppy from this place.
To add to all of this, our puppy is STILL posted on their website, which is apparently updated every Wednesday. If you go to "Our Puppies" on their page you will see our little baby Cockapoo_784.
Please look elsewhere.

STAY AWAY-THIS STORE IS A PUPPY MILL! RUN AWAY
THEY DO NOT USE QUALITY BREEDERS! ALWAYS ASK FOR YOUR BREEDERS NAME AND RUN A BACKGROUND CHECK!
(If they ever told me I was getting a dog from this breeder I never would have gone to see the dog in the first place)
I found the dog online and they didn't tell me they shipped it from Oklahoma. By the time I finally got the information on the breeder this is what we found on Lanelle Eclair-
Here is the information on the breeder Lanelle Eclair.

Vanity Pups
Stay Away from this puppy mill boutique
My mom also bought a Maltese puppy from Michael of Vanity Pups about 5 years ago. This was before he had his "Boutique". He sold the puppy from the basement of his house. Our dog is healty and happy, but not a high quailty Maltese. His liver enzymes have tested as high we are hoping this does not present a problem for him. Two years ago, I wanted to buy a Maltese of my own and looked at the breeder information that was given to us by Michael. The breeder was from Missouri and had OVER 200 violations against her. I found a breeder, Jane in Claryville NY and went to see my new puppy. I was able to see the puppy's parents and see my puppy. He was was beaufiful and well cared for. The breeder asked all the right questions and would not allow the puppy to come home with me until the puppy was old enough. We love our "puppymill" dog from Vanity Pups and we are glad that we saved him from the hell he was born into in Missouri. He has a buddy in my Maltese and they spend their days playing together.
