Puppyland to Pay $3.75 Million to Settle Consumer Protection Lawsuit

Seattle: So, here’s the scoop. Puppyland, a pet store in Washington, just settled a big lawsuit. They’re coughing up $3.75 million because they were caught using some pretty shady sales tactics.

The Attorney General, Nick Brown, made the announcement. Apparently, Puppyland was not honoring health guarantees and pushing customers into bad loans. They even tried to silence honest reviews. Not cool, right?

Brown said they took advantage of people’s love for pets, which is just heartbreaking. The good news is that this settlement should help pet buyers get more transparency and put an end to those sneaky sales tricks.

Puppyland will pay the fine in installments by June 2026, and they’ll be racking up interest on that amount. Plus, if you bought a puppy that got sick within a year, you might be able to get some of your vet bills back.

If you think you’re eligible, just shoot an email to puppyland@atg.wa.gov to stay in the loop about any claims. It’s a step in the right direction for pet owners in Washington!
