While the atmosphere of this pet store may seem to be happy and healthy, the way they run their business is anything but that. If I could leave no stars I would!!!! I recently got a puppy from this establishment, being made aware that he is a very "picky eater" and only really eats baby food and the soft food they provided us with. We later found out that our new puppy was infected with Kennel Cough and Giardia and that baby food should absolutely not be administered to puppies. He was 3 lbs. when we first got him. He is now on four different medications to be taken at different times of the day. Even though one of the workers, Natalie, just told us that he was simply very shy and very picky. Only to find out that he was extremely sick and living in a terrible environment. We were impressed by their link to Purdue and the urge to better the reputation of pet stores like this. Later, we dug a little deeper and did some more research. Everything started to piece together, Natalie was extremely excited that we were buying the pup we did but she also let us play with his sister who was 2x his size. It is clear that our pup was the runt of the litter, and according to the rest of these reviews; came from a puppy mill. We did further research on the breeder and found evidence to him being linked to a puppy mill. Please do not put thousands of dollars into a pet store that cares nothing about their puppies, and be sure to do your research before making a big purchase like this!

Visited the location when it opened and was impressed with the cleanliness and size of display kennels for the dogs available for purchase. A few days ago, my boyfriend asked if we could “go look” at the dogs as he’d been in earlier and found a puppy he really liked. As you can already guess, that puppy came home with us. She’s a tiny Shiba Inu we’ve named June and we are in love. She has been energetic and happy, and all signs point to her being very well taken care of at Happiness Is Pets. Karen was very friendly during our adoption, asking to be kept up to date with June as she grows. She truly seemed to care about her puppies. We took advantage of the accessories package and received a crate, bag of food, leash and collar, three toys, and a blanket for a reasonable price. Additionally, we have been impressed with the vet associated with Happiness Is Pets and plan to use them going forward for both June and our 9-year-old Red Heeler.

Got our pup Myles (formerly Michael) from here. Couldn’t have asked for a better pup. The vet clinic they’re partnered with also seems to be really good too. They took good care of him when we went in for his checkup and said he was healthy. Been 5 months since we brought Myles home and he is still healthy and the most loving dog I’ve ever had. I also forgot to mention that if you’re concerned about them being connected to puppy mills to not worry. This location at least gets their pups from breeders that are approved through the Purdue University Canine Care program that’s designed to prevent puppy mills and let those looking for a new family member know that the breeder is held to a high standard.

If I could leave no stars I would, lmao I went in cause I was very interested and purchasing a puppy she then told my fiancé we had to be 21 to see the dog , lmaooo but another couple came in looked the same age as us and she didn’t even ask them if they were 21 and they were white . That feels very discriminatory and the rule states that we can be interested in buying one to see one since we live on our own and our property allows animals. I was going to spend my money here but lol not at all what a shame . Literally feel like crying I’m so upset. She didn’t come up or even ask us for help. But went to the other couple with smiles smh.

Really concerned by how the animals are treated there. I have seen what looks like the dogs being neglected. Not pet, played with, or anything. Some of the cages are smeared with feces and even some of the puppies toys as well. It really made me sad and annoyed they let it get to that point. We ended up getting a dog from there because we were worried about him. And that same day we spent the night in an emergency vet. He is skin and bones, and would not eat. We are working on getting him better. But we highly discourage supporting this business. The practices are unethical for living creatures that are meant to be family members.

If I could give negative stars, I would. Some of the pups had stool smeared on the floors of their glass encasements, and the person feeding them didn't pet ANY OF THEM. The brachycephalic dogs weren't allowed out due to having stenotic nares, which is very common, and to deny them love and cuddles is cruel. We have a pug, and this breed craves and requires love and cuddles and human interaction. You slap a 4k price tag on a glass encasement and expect ppl to feel comfortable purchasing these pups, but what kind of behaviors are we going to have to undo? Do better. Love these babies.

Went there today to just play with some pups and this place is the cleanest and nicest pet store I have ever seen. I have been in the veterinary medicine industry for 5 years now and this is by far the best pet store I have ever come across. I was baffled. The staff is professional and highly educated. We played with 2 dogs and they made sure to switch rooms and even toys to eliminate possible cross contamination. 10/10 recommend. I didn’t see a drop of feces or urine while there!

This is a top notch place I have been looking for a specific breed for a very long time when I walked into happiness is pets I wasn't expecting much out of it but I told Karen what I was looking for and she was able to make it happen in a week it wasn't a long process at all super happy with this company and would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you Karen you have completed our little family we are so happy to have Lucy!!

While we didn't need up buying the puppy we were looking at, Karen explained to us how they get their puppies and everything that comes with getting one from there. It really says a lot when you have documentation showing the pedigree and info about a puppy, and the fact the puppy is sociable, fun, and receptive to people (omg and not to mention clean). We will definitely be coming back here to get a puppy later on!

Do not support puppy mills. There are plenty of dogs looking for homes at shelters and rescues. Shelters in Indianapolis are so overcrowded they frequently do free adoptions. Even with an adoption fee, you still aren’t paying a $1,000+ for a dog and you are truly saving their life. What a shame that Indiana does not have laws preventing puppy mills from existing.

Small dog shop with puppies in cages all around the room with play areas in the middle where you can play with dogs while deciding whether to buy. The dogs seemed happy and healthy but we were shocked at the prices. Many were over $3000 each. Not what I was expecting when I walked in. Perhaps others would not find that surprising but I did. We did not stay long.

This is a puppy mill in store form. Poor puppies are on a timer to be purchased and stuck in these tiny cages for probably 22 hrs a day. The dog that we played with had a rash on its underbelly, due to lack of care. Responsible pet owners, please don’t support inhumane places like this. They should be illegal. Go to a reputable breeder or adopt.

All the Karen’s acting like wannabe super heroes on here are hilarious. This isn’t the only puppy store in the world. I tried adopting a puppy I wanted for 3 years and never had any luck. I got my puppy here and couldn’t be happier. Very friendly staff and more than fair pricing. We are very thankful that we stumbled upon your store.

The friendly atmosphere is a variety of selections of puppies to choose from... A lot of mixed breed puppies they are pretty costly. They do provide helpful information concerning the puppies you are interested in. If you need any other additional information, feel free to reach out to owner Karen... Sorry, no pictures available ..

The worker was rude. Did not allow people to play with the puppies. Was inside the store for less than 1 minute before deciding to take my business elsewhere. The puppies were jumping and practically begging for attention as the one of the other workers mentioned some of them had not been taken out of their pen the entire day.

Visited for the first time and played with a couple of pups (Anthony and Heath)! I learned about their partnership with Purdue University and the Canine Care program. I've been wanting a mini goldendoodle for years now and I think I've found the place to get one. The puppies are happy, healthy, and very well cared for.

I literally feel racially discriminated against . Worst staff ever honestly. I can’t begin to explain my disgust as someone who’s purchased an animal from here before and was looking to get another today . I wasn’t even offered help. I can’t explain the hurt and anger I feel will never ever be back.

The Indianapolis location is very clean. Karen is very knowledgeable and super helpful. She knows each puppies individual personality, which helps her find a wonderful match for each and everyone family’s. We would highly recommend this location for people who are looking for a new family member.

Happiness is Pets has provided me the best experience anyone could ask for. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I went in on a whelm to just look, and walked out with my new best friend ❤️. Thank you Karen and staff for making this experience a very pleasant one. Thanks guys! …

Visited the location few times before deciding on a certain dog. The place was always clean, and the dogs were well cared for. Karen was very helpful, but not pushy. The warranty and resources they have for new family members makes this a reputable pet store that actually cares

Karen was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all her puppies. We went in 2 times prior to getting our perfect puppy. She was very nice each time and took extra time to answer all our questions. We are super excited about our puppy. We would recommend Happiness is Pets.

Do not go to this place! They get all their puppies from Puppy Mills. It’s a disgrace that this state allows these kind of stores to exist. They closed most of their Illinois locations after they passed a state law banning puppy mills and the commercial sale of animals

A very caring and knowledgeable staff. Facility was clean, puppies in clean crates and were being very well cared for during my visits, which were many. Very happy with my pup. Big thank you to Karen, who was very friendly and helped me in my selection.

Cute puppies but way over priced. I'm sure they target families with children that can't say no. I would rather adopt from the humane society or other adoption/rescue places. The dogs are caged up most of the day and I just can't appreciate this place.

The place was clean and well organized, but all they had was designer puppies most some sort of Designer Doodle mix. And come on, the avg price was over $2k - $5k. What ever happened to 200 or 500 dollar puppies, Golden Retrievers or Labradors?

There's millions of dogs across the board that need adopting and this place is charging up to $4000 for a dog that will end up abandoned 40% of the time. Shame on these people for profiting off of the pet pandemic in this country.

PUPPIES!!!! that is all I have to say, looking into it they ARE NOT a puppy mill, have specific breeders some who are authorized by Purdue university grants. High quality and warranties...can did I mention....PUPPIES?!?!?!

I went yesterday and it was clean. All the puppies were either stretching out snoozing or playing. Thank you for bringing a puppy store here. I can look around without buying. Nothing better than puppy love ❤️.

I HAVE BEING SEARCHING FOR A SMALL PUPPY LONG TIME! AND CAME ACROOS THIS PET SHOP ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT THE OWNER IS AMAZING, FRIENDLY, THE PUPPIES ARE TOO ADORABLE I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU GUYS!!! …

All though we did not purchase a puppy from this store (because so many need homes that are in shelters) we were amazed and very happy to walk in an NOT smell dog extriment! Very clean!

I just purchased our new family member and I couldn’t be happier! Michael, (now Oscar) is full of energy and keeps us on our toes! The process was quick and efficient, thanks Karen!!!

got two of my mini dachshunds here and they have been the best additions to our little family! I recommend this place to everyone that I meet who is looking for a new friend ❤️ …

We love our golden doodle! Bane has been a wonderful addition to our family. Happiness is Pets is a wonderful place and we know where to go in the future or all of our pet needs!

Small dog breeder setup in a strip mall storefront. Store is maintained well. Visited to see what it was. Seems expensive but im gonna guess they are selling pedigree animals.

My friends bought two French bulldogs from this place and they are doing excellent they do ask for your extra newspapers and I always save mine and donate them to this place

Are you kidding me?! Purdue university...which allegedly has our states most reputable emergency vet care...supporting puppy mill breeding like this?!....just sad....

I'm looking for a TeaCup Yorkshire Puppy, most of them we seen on here. It just seemed like they try to Scam people, and I'm Disabled and can't afford to be scammed.

Cuteness all around! Don't go in unless you plan to buy, but it was a nice little stress reliever for a few moments. Nothing like fresh puppy breath...aahhh! …

Such great service, we didn’t think we were going to get a puppy but ended up finding a fantastic golden doodle. Great prices and they made everything so easy.

Supplied by puppy mills. Incredibly unethical. Puppies not well cared for and likely to come with diseases like parvo that will cost you thousands to treat.

To be honest this was the best pet store I’ve ever been to, I really love the service as well. I love and care about the dog that we got from this store.

I love my new baby. I have searched all over for him and when I saw him I knew. and the staff was great I would recommend Happiness is Pets to anyone

Best Experience I have ever had they take of not only every single Dog , but also every customer as well. It’s definitely worth your time an money.

The puppies on the website are exactly what you see when you go to the store. Friendly puppy tech that helps with your questions.

Very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable about the dogs. The puppies looked healthy and happy! I was happy to take my baby home!

They either had used some strong cleaner or it was some glue ? Very strong smell choked me and my mother and we had to leave .

I love my dog had her for about a week and she is everything! Karen is the best at the shop ! Must see her and her pups !

Got my puppy from there! Really nice workers! They have lots of puppies to choose from and not bad pricing at all!

Thank you guys giving me the puppy Reese cup he much adorable staff was friendly give me a discount sort of

Nice place! Cute dogs. Good staff willing to work with me on a harness that wouldn't work for my needs

Please do everyone a favor and just close this place down. Your “puppy sale” banners are disgusting.

A front for puppy sales. Not the best store quality. Puppies are detached emotionally from people.

Karen was very knowledgably and helpful. Also love the Canine Care Certification for your breeders

Karen is awesome!! Today she helped me find my baby!! Thank you for all your help!! You rock!!

We got a golden doodle with the help of Karen. He’s amazingggggg and the help there was great!

A really nice, clean place to purchase a puppy. Would definitely recommend them to others.

Karen is extremely rude, I came into the shop, she was on her cell phone didn’t greet me.

I thought all of these types of places were shut down. Indiana is so behind the times.

ADOPT DON'T SHOP. THESE PUPPIES COME FROM TORTURE AND SUFFERING. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.

Staff was very friendly and we were able to leave with a new member of the family.

Do not support pet stores. Supporting puppy pet stores is supporting puppy mills

this place is a puppy mill store, please do what you can to have it shut down!

Nice pups in this place. They have sales and you can get a pup for lots less.

Supported by puppy mills. Won't support this type of stuff. Filthy not happy.

Nice n beautifull pets..highly recommended.we love our puppie "shadow" lol

We found our perfect golden doodle! Super friendly and easy to side with.

Very nice people ! Amazing with customer service and with everything ❤️

Very huge chlorine smell that made us sick to our stomach after 5 min

Karen provided excellent service and went above and beyond to help us

Walked in with zero expectations and was co pletly blown away.

The absolute best place to get your best friend for life!!!
