Every year, the owners of Companion Pets Inc. make trips to visit our breeders in the midwest as well as attend conferences on animal care.
These trips give us the opportunity to meet new breeders, build relationships, inspect kennels and dogs, and learn more from the leaders in the industry that are innovating and improving standards in animal welfare and canine breeding.

We were delighted to see how much the Canine Care Certified program is taking off and are proud to see many breeders taking the extra steps and investments to reach this level of care!
The CCC Program is based on standards developed and led by Dr. Candace Croney, Ph.D. at Purdue University. Consumers and pet owners can be assured that dogs and puppies raised by the program’s certified breeders are cared for under stringent standards. Read more about the Canine Care Certificate here.

What do you get when you cross a French Bulldog with a Mastiff? These beautiful, chunky Frenchie Mastiff hybrids with overall better health and very trainable temperaments, weighing 50 lbs. on average.
Marion Nisley (Canine Care Certified) and his family specialize in this very intentional hybrid. We can't wait for these puppies from the parents shown about to arrive in our stores in a few short weeks!
| |
We assume a lifetime responsibility for every puppy we send home. Our Homes for Life program is the result of this commitment and our dedication to preventing pet homelessness.
We understand that for unfortunate and unforeseen reasons sometimes customers who purchase our puppies can no longer care for them. For this reason, our customers agree to relinquish the dog to us, not a shelter.
We do this to ensure that we can find them a new, loving home but first provide them with the rehabilitation and care that they may need in addition to a neuter/spay as part of our commitment to responsible pet ownership.

Meet Khaleesi and see why she is so charming!

She is friendly with other dogs in general but would need to managed around food/high value toys/treats to live with them.

If you are looking for a puppy, be careful & remain vigilant!
Here is how to spot a puppy scam online from AKC:
-
No phone calls. The seller prefers to handle communication by email and not the phone. A reputable breeder will always communicate with you via phone or video chat (if not in person) before selling you a puppy. Fraudulent sellers are oftentimes outside of the U.S. and may be hiding their phone number by only communicating by email.
-
Copycat or stock photos. Photos of the dog or ad text can be found on multiple websites. Search for the text or reverse image search the photos on Google to find out if they were copied.
-
Sketchy payment. The seller asks for wiring of money or payment by gift cards. Be aware that if you choose a non-secure method of payment, it is highly unlikely that you will get your money back. Avoid paying a stranger using apps such as Venmo, as it is harder to get your money back if you don’t get what you paid for.
-
Price is too good to be true. Research the prices for the breed you are considering. Purebred dogs sold at deeply discounted prices are typically frauds. If the seller says they register their dogs with a specific organization, you can call the organization to confirm.
