Get to know our puppy sourcing standards, veterinary care, and the guidance available as you prepare to welcome a new companion.
An informed beginning
Clear information for your puppy decision
Choosing a puppy means considering where they were raised, the care they receive, and what daily life together will require. At Petland Janesville, our Pet Counselors receive ongoing training in pet wellness, nutrition, and responsible ownership so they can help families understand those responsibilities.
We are a locally operated pet store. Our team shares information about breeds, behavior, and long-term care to help you consider a puppy that fits your lifestyle.

Where our puppies begin
Breeder selection goes beyond a first impression
We work with licensed breeders selected for their compliance histories and adherence to animal welfare and veterinary care guidelines. Our breeder standards address applicable licensing and regulatory requirements.
- Licensing and regulatory compliance
- Animal welfare and veterinary care guidelines
- Careful screening of hobby breeders when applicable
- Humane-care guidelines and medical protocols
Our owners and managers also visit breeding facilities to learn about the sources we support. We have been an early supporter of Canine Care Certified breeders.
