This was posted by the Providence Vet Clinic (St. Croix Falls WI) the other day. BEWARE if you are looking for a puppy!:
"WARNING PET OWNERS!!!!! It has come to our attention that a breeder located in the Forest Lake / Northbranch area of Minnesota and who sells multiple breeds of dogs is using our clinic name to falsify veterinary records and invoices for the dogs they are selling. These records include wellness exams that were never done, laboratory tests that were never performed, and statements of health for dogs that are not healthy. Unfortunately several of these puppies have been confirmed infected with parvo virus, which can be lethal in puppies.
When we perform a litter exam at our clinic, each puppy receives a health card with the exam findings hand written on the card as well as any vaccinations or treatments done at the time of the exam being noted. Our clinic business card is also attached. If you do not receive this information from a breeder who claims to utilize our clinic, then we advise you to question the breeder. You can also contact our clinic for verification that we have provieded the services in question. Thank You. Dr. Jeff Engrav"
