Recent News

"Petland continues to face significant public scrutiny and legal challenges, primarily related to its sourcing of puppies from commercial breeders (often referred to as 'puppy mills'). Recent news (2024-2025) includes multiple lawsuits alleging the sale of sick puppies, an HSUS investigation leading to a store closure, and a cease-and-desist from PETA over the use of the term 'adoption' in marketing. The company maintains its position as a top global franchise opportunity."
