Our Puppies

Our Puppies Our Kittens Our Small Animals Our Birds Our Reptiles Our Fish Our Adopt-A-Pets

Owning a dog is a big responsibility, but it pays dividends in love, loyalty, protection and companionship for people of all ages. Sometimes picking the right pup for your particular circumstances requires some help and advice. At Petland, our pet counselors are trained to assist you in selecting and caring for a dog that suits you and your family.

Our technicians and managers spend lots of time and effort to obtain good looking puppies with agreeable personalities and they take every precaution to see that the pups are sound and healthy! It is only after a licensed veterinarian gives these pups a clean bill of health and proper immunization that we can accept them into our Petland store. Once a pup gets here he is bathed, vaccinated, put on a nourishing diet and he begins the important period in his life that we refer to as socialization, we begin teaching our pups how to become pets.

Vaccination programs continue! Diets are closely monitored and hygiene is meticulously maintained. Our people are dog lovers! And because they are, they are constantly handling and playing with all the pups in our store! When we place our pups in a playpen, we are inviting every dog lover to pet and cuddle as much as they want. We realize that all this contributes to the pup's socialization, and that every pup's temperament is improved by it.

There are items expressly designed to make your new pup's house breaking, nutrition and grooming easier and more productive for you as well as your new pup. Please visit Petland Fairfax today and consult with a Pet Counselor to insure you are providing these fun and essential items that your new puppy needs.

If you are looking for a specific breed to add to your household we commonly carry over 50 breeds in our store. Here's an example of some of the breeds generally looking for a caring home.
