Petland Iowa City, Iowa
At Petland Iowa City, we understand that communicating the quality of our breeders is essential in building trust with you. We take immense pride in upholding exceptional standards, and we want you to know that breeders of this caliber are truly rare.
Over the years, Ron and Wendy, have dedicated thousands of hours and traveled thousands of miles to find and develop relationships with the best breeders. Our commitment to excellence ensures that you receive a healthy, happy puppy from a trusted source. Here are some key reasons we believe are important to share with you about the quality of our breeders:
1. Rigorous Standards: Our Canine Care Certified (CCC) breeders are certified to exceed rigorous standards related to physical and behavioral health, ensuring the well-being of every puppy. This is way beyond USDA regulations.
2. Veterinary Oversight: Only veterinarians are allowed to perform any alterations or surgeries on dogs, guaranteeing professional care.
3. Preventative Health Plans: Comprehensive physical health plans are implemented by our breeders for preventative care and treatment, ensuring each puppy’s optimal health.
4. Genetic and Health Screening: Our breeders conduct genetic and health screenings, along with regular dental care and grooming, to maintain the highest health standards.
5. Behavioral Wellness Plans: Breeders establish behavioral wellness plans and provide exercise, socialization, and enrichment for dogs, promoting well-rounded development.
6. Safe and Enriched Environments: Puppies are raised in safe, enriched environments with access to outdoor spaces, fostering natural growth and exploration.
7. Ethical Retirement Practices: Adult dogs are not sold for research after retiring from breeding, reflecting our commitment to ethical practices. You will see retired parents in our store up for adoption, now that’s cool!
8. Continuing Education: Breeders engage in ongoing education on canine care, ensuring they are up-to-date with the latest best practices.
9. Transparency and Compliance: Our breeders uphold transparency and compliance with best practices, providing peace of mind to our customers.
10. Partnership with Purdue University: The Canine Care Certified™ Standards, which our breeders adhere to, are maintained by the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, a leader in veterinary education.
