Dreamy Puppy

After much research, questioning of the dreamy puppy employees, and ignoring our better judgement, we adopted a Cavachon from Dreamy Puppy. 6 days later (after an initial clean bill of health from our own vet) I rushed the puppy to the animal hospital, was told he had Parvo, that due to his age and size there was a VERY small chance of him pulling through, and it would cost around $ 9,000 in vet bills to move forward with treatment that he likely would not survive. We had to put him down– in my arms, 6 days after we got him. In case you’re not familiar with parvo, it is a highly deadly highly contagious disease dogs get that can live on surfaces for months, even years. It takes at a minimum 7 – 10 days to develop, so he clearly had it before we took him home. Who knows how many other dogs at the facility were infected. Because of this we are not able to bring another puppy in to our home for fear of it getting sick. PLEASE do not buy a dog from this store so that they can be shut down once and for all along with the puppy mills they get their animals from.

Say «Bonjour» to Henri!
My experience with Dreamy Puppy was nothing less than pleasant. Thanks to them, the absolute love of my life, mi amor, Henri has become such an integral part of my life! Prior to closing the sale and taking Henri home with us, they full disclosed his eye condition which is commonly known as «cherry eye.» Since he did have a condition, they did give us a 50% discount. It’s a bit weird to talk about scoring a dog on clearance but I swear, we think nothing less of our little guy. In fact, we’ve affectionately named him «H.O.H» aka Half off Henri thanks to my friend. While at first a bit adamant about his condition, we eventually felt at ease with the help of the worker’s extensive knowledge on the issue. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience and I am glad I went there.

We bought a puppy in this place on 10÷02÷15, I regret we didn’t check the reviews for this place, paying an expensive dog and find out that he has an infection, diarrhea, he got really sick they also said that first vaccines were done and they gave us a piece of paper where it was only checked, we had to pay as new vaccinations, I can go on and on and only it is been 10 days. When I said where I got my puppy, people only says bad things about this place.

I was actually shocked to read some of these reviews; my experience was only positive. I have gone once to the store. The staff was extremely friendly and the place was thoroughly cleaned continuously. While there, several of their puppies were returning from their visit to the veterinarian. When I inquired for a specific dog, I was brought into their office and shown the medical records on the pup and the breeder’s license number. I have not yet purchased my pup, but will be going back.

Took my niece to buy a puppy — the place looks clean and the staff are friendly.
Warning: when we brought our little Shih-​Tzu puppy Buffy to the vet, we were informed that she had NOT had ANY shots, she had worms and kennel cough. Mind you, I am not complaining about the money BUT we spent $ 4,000 in vet bills after purchasing Buffy for $ 2,000… I would have spent a million dollars for Buffy as she is part of the family but our sweet little girl suffered for the first few months of her life. Our family was in tears because Buffy almost died… the vets were disgusted that the people at Dreamy Puppy would do this to these animals.
Thankfully our baby Buff is happy and healthy, with NO thanks to Dreamy Puppy. Had our baby girl died, it would have been a death on them.
If you love animals, DO. NOT. PURCHASE. FROM. THESE. PEOPLE. They have so many lawsuits against them I am surprised they’re still in business.

Bought a puppy here and not even a week, I already had to spend $ 400 on med bills coz he had kennel cough. It was the biggest mistake to even purchase a puppy at this place. Next time, if there ever be a next time, I will just adopt. Thank God they are investigating now. The owner seems very shady too!

We purchased our sweet dog here 3 years ago. She is a maltese shih tzu mix. We have had no problems with her in any way. The day after we took her home we had her checked by a vet. Whenever you purchase a dog, even one from a «champion breeder» there is a chance that the dog may be or get sick. Our dog is in no way a show dog, but her temperament is wonderful and she is happy and best of all healthy.

Store smells really badly. Cages look very dirty and we saw a couple of puppies eating their own poop. These puppies definitely appear to be puppy mill dogs. So glad they are in the news now and everyone will know how terrible they are.

Unhealthy puppies from puppy mills. Please don’t go here. This is very close to the Fairfax County animal shelter. You could get a much better dog here. If you don’t know what a puppy mill is, look it up. This is exactly where these pet store puppies come from. It’s very, very sad.

My overall buying experience from dreamy puppy was easy and amazing. Reese helped me out with a boxer puppy they had and I couldn’t of asked for better experience they made me feel very comfortable and they’ve already checked on the puppy after a day.
I did not go to the establishment I sent someone there and the guy I sent said it was very clean and something he’s never seen before purchasing a dog!
Thank you very much Reese!

Amazing place — Reese was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick out a puppy breed that we never even knew about — and we bought him! They take very special care of the animals and it shows.

Bought a white tiny toy Pomeranian from Dreamy Puppy early July. Would like to start off with cleanliness of there store. The second you walk in they ask you to clean your hands before holding any pups. The employees are very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient when picking the right pup for me. Even after purchasing my precious little Louie I was not able to take him home right away because he was too small, but every week they followed up with me. It’s been a little over two months since I’ve brought my pup home and he is healthy, friendly, and full of energy! Thank you again for a great experience and an amazing companion!

My daughter and I visited this store on and off for three months. It’s a nice store but we observed more than two puppy owners come in to complain about sicknesses and disorders with their dogs but that’s not only the store’s problem. It’s a problem with the whole breeding industry. The puppies are presented in a front room and seem to sleep in cages in the rear room but we weren’t allowed back there.
Over the months at least one very sad patron was there to claim a prorated refund for a dead dog. The contract is very clear and fair since this kind of dog breeding is a very risky business for the store and the owner.
I guess if you are happy with this sort of business and the potentially horrible risks then you would be satisfied with pure and semi pure breeds and their often heartbreaking health problems.
I’m not sure this is Dreamy Puppy’s problem. It’s a nice store for what it is. They let you play with the dogs and don’t start the hard sell until you’ve been there a while.

We bought a dog here for our office. She had a horrible cough for three weeks. It is just coming back six months later. We believe it was kennel cough but the antibiotics did not work. Also we took her to the vet and they told us that she was not given a rabies vaccination which dreamt puppy said they had done. We called dreamy puppy and they pretty much said «tough luck» because we had signed the paperwork and they would not cover the vet bills. I’m glad we paid thousands of dollars for a sick puppy mill dog. I thought this company was legitimate and they had healthy dogs. I was wrong. Please adopt from a shelter or buy privately. I feel so bad for the dog we got from this place.

I love this place. Very clean and the puppies smells great. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. Though i have not found my puppy yet, i try to visit once a week just to see what they have. Shoutout to Reese (sp?) Carlina and Brenda!

My puppy is the best! He’s healthy and smart! Vet said, he was strong for 8 weeks old. He’s all that was promised by Dreamy Puppy!

They specialize in toy and smaller breeds. Occasionally they will get bigger dog breeds. I have heard the rumors about this place being a puppy mill and while I do not have proof, I don’t know if it really is or not. I believe in the back they keep their dog in crates. In the front area is different sections to keep the different breeds of puppies together for show. They obviously don’t keep their puppies in there over night. They have a lot of puppies and they are brought out throughout the day. I know that if they have been out for a while they are put back so they can rest.
I really want to tell the people looking to get dogs to DO YOUR RESEARCH! It is a living thing you are trying to buy. It comes with a lot of time and money you need to put into this furry animal. Ask questions, ask for proof, don’t be afraid.
There are a lot of people that say «adopt don’t shop.» While I can understand that, people have different life styles and after your research you feel that buying from a breeder is better, that’s fine. I’ve looked around shelters first in my research, but the breeds were not for me that were available which is why I decided to buy from a breeder.
I will say though that I don’t really like how one of the lady there plays with the dogs. The way she plays with them is «rough» which allows the dog to bite. Some people don’t like this and it will be hard to knock this habit out of the dog. I know my friend is having a struggle dealing with the biting. Yes, the puppy is teething at the same time, but still. I do like coming here to play with the puppies though!

Bought a puppy a month ago & so far I’m up to $ 800+ in vet bills. My morkie was never given his booster shots. & he’s been on antibiotics for 20 days come to find out after numerous meds… He has pneumonia!!! I have to go back & pay another $ 380 for More X-​rays. Oh & a yeast infection in both ears, he’s only three months! I’m beyond pissed, if I wanted a sick dog I could have bought one anywhere. Never again! Save your money, my aunt goes to Windsor farm that’s where I’m getting my next pup from.(she has three, never had issues,& the pups are wayyyyyyyy cheaper)

Very difficult to choose a star rating on a place I thought so highly of. When I purchased my dog from here 3 years ago I was impressed by the cleanliness, they knowledgable staff, and how insistent the staff was on using hand sanitizer! They seemed to care very much about the dogs. As most customers would ask, I wanted to know where the puppies came from. I was told they were all from local breeders and was even presented with a portfolio of information about my puppy from the day he was born. Pictures, parents, shots, etc
Yesterday, I ran across the following link…
The Humane Society went undercover to local pet stores and posted this video…
What a shame that I supported puppy mills, and what a shame that 3 years later they are still in business.

The best/​only good part of this place is admittedly the name «Dreamy Puppy» Ive come here twice to oogle over puppies when I feel pet deprived and technically to help my parents pick out a dog. Both times, we were really disappointed with how few dogs they have here– and only certain uppity-​looking-​very-​small-​dogs-​for-​rich-​people types of breeds. Most of them have the word «toy» or «poo» attached to their name, Cockapoo, shih tzu, shih poo, yorkiepoo, etc. Dont expect to see maybe more than 8 dogs here. The second time we came, they were all asleep and you werent allowed to touch or pick up most of them. Their prices are very high as well. Not worth the trip!
Now reading from other Unilocalers that this place might be a puppy mill or selling unhealthy/​underaged puppies is even more worrisome and probably worth paying heed to.
