What does it take to be a Petland San Antonio, TX breeder?

Petland San Antonio, TX works only with breeders who meet applicable licensing requirements and established regulatory standards. Breeders are selected based on strong compliance histories and adherence to animal welfare and veterinary care guidelines. When required, breeders maintain appropriate state-level licensing, and out-of-state breeders operate under their respective state regulations.

Many breeder partners also participate in recognized breed and care certification programs and must meet additional program standards to maintain those credentials. In some cases, we may work with small hobby breeders who specialize in a single breed. These breeders are carefully screened and must follow our humane care guidelines and medical protocols.

When you purchase a puppy from Petland San Antonio, TX, you are choosing a source committed to responsible breeding, regulatory compliance, and transparent care standards.

How we source

Our approach is different

At Petland San Antonio, TX, our approach to sourcing quality puppies is different from most other pet stores. We use state and federally licensed breeders — but that is not the end of our buying standard, it is just the beginning. Our owner and managers travel all over the country to personally visit our sources, so we know each breeder we support.

We have visited kennels in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Since the beginning of 2014, we have taken over 20 breeder inspection tours and traveled over 35,000 miles visiting over 300 kennels. It is a massive investment of time, effort, energy, and money to KNOW where our puppies come from.

This page is continually updated as we visit more and more breeders. We want you to be proud and confident that your Petland San Antonio, TX puppy came from one of the best breeders in the country.

It is the only program that not only incorporates measures of the physical health of dogs and puppies raised by breeders, but also strongly emphasizes their behavioral well-being.

The certification program is based on standards developed and led by Dr. Candace Croney, Ph.D. at Purdue University in 2013. Consumers and pet owners can be assured that dogs and puppies raised by the program’s certified breeders are cared for under stringent standards.

My dad got my Malti-poo from this store 6yrs ago when I was a teen. We bought him at 3mo old! He was a happy puppy. My family requested to play with him in the little cubicles and we were delighted. He was a little pricey, but he had his papers, proper shots/vaccines, and had an underbite that made him adorable. He’s doing well even today! Never gotten injured or sick. He’s expected to live the normal expectancy of a malti-poo. I don’t remember much about the store or any changes since then, but I remember that the lady helping us was nice! Here is Marshmallow!

Lots of dogs for adoption, well taken care of. Also have some birds, rabbits and a few sleepy ferrits. I stopped in for some feeder fish. Very nice staff.

This was my 2nd time back. My daughter has been wanting another set of guinea pigs. I saw the most beautiful lionhead rabbit 🐇 about 7 weeks. LORENZO educated me on their demeanor, foods etc... I was there a good while, he showed no signs of rushing me, or pushing a sale. Answered all my questions and even educated me on ferrets as i asked lol he loves his job & wish all associates were like this everywhere! I was very pleased 😀 didn't grab the rabbit as my daughter took forever to answer me, but we're leaving for vacation and would not be cool to leave him alone . We will be back! And I will only ask for him! Thank you for the great customer service!
