“Pet City Pets is one of just a few pet stores still existing in Michigan. The concern here is what kind of veterinary care the puppies received, what was done to stop the spread of disease to other puppies, and what standard of care the rest of the animals were receiving,” said HSHV’s COO, Matt Schaecher. This is a terribly sad situation for all of the animals. “There have been many complaints about Pet City Pets over the years. The investigation is ongoing at this time. All of the puppies are currently quarantined at HSHV and are being provided with needed medical treatment and care. Testing cannot detect illness until dogs are symptomatic. Other puppies may have contracted the virus but are not yet showing symptoms. Parvovirus is a serious, painful infectious gastrointestinal disease that can be fatal - particularly without proper treatment. HSHV has confirmed Parvovirus in the sick and recently deceased puppies. Some of the other animals were seized based on alleged poor condition. The animals were taken on a search warrant based on an anonymous tip alleging there were sick puppies being hidden on the premises who were not receiving veterinary care. Febru(Ann Arbor, MI) – Animal Cruelty Investigators from the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) seized seven puppies, over 40 reptiles, and dozens of small mammals from Pet City Pets in Ypsilanti Township. Unfortunately, two of the seven puppies were deceased by the time investigators arrived.
