Sick puppies dog some online purchasers
Puppy-provider to the stars has some unhappy customers
By Greg Hunter and Pia Malbran
CNN
As for the celebrity customers, a spokesperson for Jennifer Love
Hewitt told CNN the dog she received from Celebrity Kennels had
several health issues that required costly vet care. The Osbournes,
however, told CNN they had no problems with their dogs.
Singer Jon Secada and his wife Mari bought their first family dog, a
Maltese named Sunshine, from Celebrity Kennels last August. The
Secadas trusted they were in good hands because of the company's
other famous customers.
But their $1,000 dog ended up having kennel cough for more than a
month and a tooth problem that cost another $1,000 to fix. The
Secadas were also told their dog came from a specialized breeder.
But CNN discovered that Celebrity Kennels actually bought their dog
on an online auction. The Secadas say they'd never buy a dog from
the company again.
Meanwhile, Tucker still has health problems. "Every time Tucker
sneezes or is laying around too much. I'm constantly worried that
something is wrong with him, which is not the way it's supposed to
be," Pura said. "It's supposed to be fun and it's supposed to
lighten up your life and instead it's made it sad and hard."
