sounds like you are trying to find out how much to sell yours for with everything that goes with it.
My first clue: a pet store does not give you all those things when you buy a dog.
I just recieved this e-mail:
From: Josh
Subject: Pet Stores
Message: I hate people like you who think they know everything about pets, lots of pet stores DO give you lots of supplies. Petland for example almost always gives everything you need.
Any pet store who gives you ANYTHING, you can be sure you paid for it when you paid way more then puppy mill puppy was worth. And I still say they do not give you everything that was listed.

I would not buy from a pet store, honestly because a lot of the time they are poorly bred and have issues. They will usually charge you about 1,000 for dogs at a pet shop. I would go to a real breeder, and pay that much, truly for a quality pet. If you must go through a pet store, I would not pay more than 700 dollars. Some pet places charge well over 1,000 for yorkies. Becareful, they can have health issues if you are not careful. Also try a breed rescue, they have low prices and good dogs that need a home, now. Good luck and be careful.

When you buy from a pet store you have no idea what you are buying. You can look the parents or the condition the puppy was raised in or anything. I raise dogs and I would never send mine to a pet store! You need to go to puppyfind.com if you don't have any local breeders. You can look by state. You could probably have a nice puppy shipped to you way cheaper than buying from the pet store and you know what you are getting!

NEVER NEVER buy from a pet store.. not only are you paying too much for a low quality pet but you are supporting a VERY CRUEL industry of Puppy Mills - who breed for no other reason than profit (not genetics, not health, not breed improvement).. as such you can imagine what short cuts they take to save $...(mom dogs living in cages bred over and over.. stacked on top of one another)
when you buy from a pet store you SUPPORT this..
Pet stores will DENY they get from puppy mills.. but NO Reputable breeder would EVER sell to a pet store.. why would somebody have to use a store rather than selling directly and making all the $$ themself??
did you know pet stores often mark pups up by 300%?? paying very little for the pup but selling it for big bucks!
people who buy from pet stores are 100 % to blame for immense cruelty of allowing puppy mills to continue.
NEVER trust a store.. they will tell you anything to get a sale.. and WILL NOT be willing to take the pup back later if you have problems.. a good breeder will...
where I am breeders sell Yorkie pups for $300 and up.. with shots - you should NEVER pay a cent for an unvaccinated pup of any bred...
so what if the store is "giving" you extras.. you are paying for it somehow.. they are simply trying to get a sale.. they are stores after all.. and pet stores who sell pups and kittens are SCUM!

I would reccomend not getting a dog from the store. Store bought dogs tend to be much less healthy, even though they look healthy, from all of the inbreeding (and many come from illegal puppy mills). Is that really the kind of buisness you want to support? Try looking for your next lovable pal at a dog shelter, it's good for you, the dogs, and animals everywhere!

Never buy a puppy from a pet store. They come from horrible conditions, have many health issues and you will be contributing to the suffering of hundreds of dogs.
Go to a rescue or reputable breeder.

Any puppy from a pet store is too much. Check out these male puppies:

If you're rehoming your dog, just charge a small fee to weed out the weirdos wanting free animals and charge a small percentage for the supplies.

If you are giving your dog away, please have him neutered first. Also, please find a rescue group to re-home him, don't just place an add in the paper.
If you are looking to buy, dont...
