Understanding Where Our Puppies Begin
Petland Dalton works with trusted licensed breeders, reviewing compliance histories, animal welfare practices, and veterinary care. Our owner and managers visit breeder facilities to learn firsthand about the places our puppies come from. Applicable licensing, humane care guidelines, and medical protocols are part of the standards described on our breeder page.
We support Canine Care Certified, a voluntary welfare program that considers physical health, behavioral well-being, environment, breeding life and retirement, and caretaker expectations. Ask about the breeder and credentials associated with the particular puppy you are considering. Read Dalton's breeder standards and our Canine Care Certified resource to prepare your questions.
Veterinary Care From Arrival to Homecoming
Veterinarians examine new puppies shortly after arrival, help manage health concerns, and guide sanitation and vaccination protocols. Our care program describes weekly checkups and health monitoring under a consulting veterinarian. A complimentary veterinary exam is also included after purchase.
The puppy package lists current vaccinations and deworming, veterinary checks, and a certificate of health. Ask our team to review your puppy's care information, explain the next veterinary steps, and tell you how to arrange the included exam. Our veterinary care page and local care commitments offer more background.
The Daily Routines Behind Puppy Care
Everyday attention matters alongside veterinary involvement. Our husbandry program includes quality food, daily weight checks, grooming, exercise, and play with adults and children. These routines support a puppy's needs and give staff time to observe and interact with the puppies in our care.
Our Pet Counselors take part in ongoing training and help families understand nutrition, behavior, and responsible ownership. Learn about our company and care program before your visit, and tell us about the routines your puppy would share at home.

Meet Puppies With Your Household in Mind
How much time can your family give to exercise and training? What grooming needs are manageable? How will a puppy fit around work, children, or other pets? These are useful questions to discuss as you get acquainted with a possible companion.
- Describe your daily life: Share your home environment, schedule, and experience with dogs.
- Spend time together: Meet puppies and ask a Pet Counselor about personality and care needs.
- Prepare before committing: Review the puppy's background, health information, supplies, and written terms.
A visit gives you space to connect the puppy you meet with the responsibilities ahead. Call first if you would like to check whether a particular puppy is available.

Verified Customer Experiences
Customer feedback provides insight into real experiences at the Dalton location:HollyAnn Hullender, ★★★★★
"Yesterday was my daughters’ and I first experience at Petland of Dalton. Hands down my favorite pet store! The store was impressively clean and the staff was the best! Sarai and Lexus greeted us when we first walked in and continuously provided awesome service. We loved chatting with them and getting some hands on time with the animals. They know a lot about each animal that comes through, able to describe their personalities that will best fit our family, and provide the plans and after care of each pet. You can tell they really care about the animals and the families coming in. I would 100 percent recommend this store! Great experience and we will be back!"
Olivia Theodore, ★★★★★
"The staff at this store were such a help in getting my schnauzer. After almost getting scammed, it was such a relief to be able to speak with someone on the phone and then go and see the actual puppy I was getting. Theo is healthy and the staff helped me get all of the things I did not even know I would need. I am super ecstatic to add him to our family."
