Waggs To Riches

!!!Buyer Beware!!! They care more about their riches than their waggs!

On December 16, 2017 I purchased a cavapoochon from Kim at Waggs to Riches. Before leaving the pet store she told me the puppy had kennel cough and gave me a day and half worth of Doxycline to administer twice per day. She stated that puppies sometimes get kennel cough after their Bordetella shots. Kim gave me her phone number in the event I had any questions. As per her contract (if you are able to read it, see attached pictures) I took my puppy to her preferred vet Dr. Posner. He said everything is OK with the puppy and told me to administer the Doxycline once a day (not twice as Kim had suggested). Later that night I called Kim as my puppy seemed to be breathing heavily and panting a lot. She said that it was kennel cough and as long as he is eating, drinking and playing and I administer the Doxy he should be OK. By December 18, 2017 (three days later) I noticed as he slept a clear fluid drip out from his nose. I called and emailed Kim to inform her. She never replied to my email and didn't reach out to me until several hours later. I was concerned and decided to take him back to Dr. Posner (big mistake!). He once again Dr. Posner said he was OK but sent me home with Temaril-P pills (1/2 pill twice per day). Later that night things took a turn for the worse. My puppy didn't eat, drink, or play. He was breathing and panting heavier than the days before and coughed frequently. The fluid from his nose went from clear to yellowish discharge. I had to rush him to an emergency vet. When I arrived at the emergency vet they asked me to exit the building and go around to the back isolation room because they did not want whatever my puppy had to infect the others dogs. After spending several hours at the vet and over $1,600 my puppy was diagnosed with BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, upper respiratory infection, and left nasal discharge. Please see image below for full review as I did not have enough space.
