The Puppy Emporium 1101 Calumet Avenue, Valparaiso, IN 46383

"My family and I had a fantastic buying experience!!! To those posting reviews without experiences with the store or never going to the store, you know you can be sued for defamation and loss of business, right? It’s totally winnable and Google can also be sued too for allowing it. In my family’s experience, the girls that work there are super nice. They have rules for the dog’s protection, which is a good thing if you are the next buyer in the door. The girls keep the store very clean and are good at attending to the dogs and providing customer assistance. The dogs are taken out 2 or 3 at a time and allowed to play with each other. Perspective buyers can also play with the dog privately. The owner Riley bent over backwards for my family to help us find the dog we were looking for. She went a step further after the purchase when we had questions. The dog we bought is an English Bulldog. We took him to the vet and he is completely healthy. We went back a couple weeks later to see our dog’s sister. Again, the girls were super nice and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed all of the employees and they are really good with the puppies. I highly recommend!!!"

"First off, those that have bashed this business have admittedly never been in the establishment and if they knew what they were talking about, would know that the local shelters are overrun with second hand pit bulls, no thanks. Secondly, they had exactly what I was looking for. The facility was clean with the puppies out of their crates all playing and well taken care of. Courtney and Rylee answered any and all questions that I had about every pup that I asked about. The girls truly love the pups as I have brought mine in a few times during our walks and they remember her name and always welcome her in to visit with open arms."

"I dropped off my high school daughter and friend to look for a puppy on my way for a date with my wife @6p. The 2 employees were rude and turned them away because they didn't have an I.D. to prove they were 16...This isn't the first time I had a bad experience. I went in a couple months prior with my 11yr old to see if any of these puppies would be right for our home. They rudely told us that we couldn't interact or touch any of the puppies unless we signed something that we were serious about buying one. Puppies need love even if you don't decide to buy one. Absolutely terrible place to go!!"

"I’m glad we decided to stop in here and talk to the employees/ owner. Was hesitant at first because of it being a “pet store”, but boy was it a fresh of breath air. This place is so great! The dogs were all playing when we came in, clearly in good health. And shortly after they all started snuggling together in a big dog pile… so adorable. I spoke to the owner and did the due-diligence that most people online are neglecting to do. We talked about the process of where they get their dogs, and how the owner personally visits these dogs homes, vets the breeders, and verifies the mothers are in good health and NOT overbred. There are so many mean people on here that want to group this store in with all of those chain pet stores. But this one is DIFFERENT. It’s a woman born and raised in Valpo that has found a way to bring beautiful purebred desirable dogs to Valparaiso for families and people to visit and adopt the dog of their dreams. I think what The Puppy Emporium is doing is so awesome and a really cool business to have in our town. Shame on everyone who is sharing negative things without actually talking/ visiting the store to have a conversation!"

"I just bought my puppy from here yesterday, and I loved how wonderful and helpful the staff was! They were so sweet and they genuinely love their puppies. I have a healthy playful pup thanks to them. I would 100% recommend this place in purchasing your next baby!"
