Piggy Pet Shop

I HATE to write this review, but I have to - even though the couple from Piggy Pet Shop were sweet. I adopted my incredibly loving boy - a mini “Juliana” pig - on February 16th, 2024. In the beginning, I had problems with the way they conducted business and the lack-of, and inconsistent, communication, but I looked the other way with “rose-colored glasses”. But, I wish I didn’t ignore the lack of paperwork. Do your homework, request for a “bloodline” certification. Do not accept a piece of paper with their letterhead as the formal indication of where the pig came from. The vaccination certificate from them indicated no formal authorization from their vet, to transfer to my vet - as it was a simple piece of paper with two dates of the vaccinations with a letterhead. I asked several times for more detailed documentation to give to my vet but I never heard back. And I asked for paperwork with the exact documents proving his parents, with again, bloodline tracks, but I never received that, but only received a piece of paper with only two names of parents, with their letterhead, and that’s it. There was no formal registration or detailed information on the parents - only their names. Now, to go onto my big issue. We found out only a few days after delivery that our mini pig has preaxial polydactyly on his front right hoof, which is a hoof with 5 appendages, not 4. We noticed it 3 days after he arrived when we were at our vet for his overall exam. I was reaching out for 1 month straight about this concerning matter and only after a month did I get a response. I explained that preaxial polydactyly is only due to genetics, more specifically, inbreeding. I explained this, and they said “Well, the parents and the other litter mates have not shown any problems.” So, I brought up the 2nd problem, an enlarged preputial diverticulum, which is an obvious genetic factor as well, more specifically their skeletal structure, which is in no way environmental. I was told “When we dropped him off, we didn’t notice any of these issues.” And they refused to acknowledge or read my messages and only stated it must have been an infection when it came to the preputial diverticulum. That’s even after I explained what my vet said after my visit only minutes after I left and offering vet records from the same day (today) from the X-ray and vet notes. I even offered for them to call my vet. I was also told, “If we saw that he had a “pinky toe” (5 appendages on the front right hoof), we wouldn’t have delivered/sold him to you”. So, when I offer for them to cover, or at least pay half, of the surgical costs when I decide to amputate the extra appendage due to his inefficiencies when walking and steadying himself, they declined and said that it’s “not covered under our health guarantee because that’s only pertaining to death of a pig from an underlying condition, in which we would replace your pig”. I did, however, remind them that problems due from any underlying conditions, are in fact, genetic. There was no true concern at all. As sweet as they were when they delivered my baby boy piglet, they are absolutely not equipped to run a business. They didn’t even know my pig was a boy until a few days before delivery. So, I’m not shocked they didn’t notice the 5th appendage on the front right hoof. I can’t comment on the size of our pig, yet, but we will find out after completing his Deoxyribonucleic Acid Test. I strongly advise possible clients to do their homework and only accept real documentation and paperwork to assure a valid and accurate bloodline before their purchase. Unfortunately, I believe this business lacks the necessary expertise and resourcing capabilities to conduct business effectively and honestly. Poor management, inadequate documentation, and a lack of development in key areas resulted in their inability to provide accurate information - as simple as formal veterinarian documentation for vaccines. I hope they can gain the resources to provide real security for their clients and pigs to ensure and assure breed quality and practices.

Just recently had a fantastic experience purchasing our tiny Juliana pig. They were able to meet me halfway and made sure to provide all of the care information and paperwork. We are so happy with our tiny pig. We took our piggy immediately to the vet just for peace of mind and was met with a clean bill of health. We are actively looking to purchase goats for our farm, and will definitely be checking out Piggy Pet Shop’s availability on their next litter. Really appreciate you guys and we’ll be in touch with you soon!

The owner does an excellent job of running this property! She provides the best possible care and service to her clients and has handled the piggies amazingly with so much love and passion. I would recommend piggy pet shop to anyone interested getting little piglets.

This place and the owners were amazing. If I could leave more stars I would!! The kids had a blast. And so much to do and play with. Thank you guys again for giving my daughter a wonderful 10th birthday. 👏🏼🎉🫶🏼

We purchased a piggy on 2/15. Nicole said she would email the paperwork regarding care and vaccines. She has yet to send this information and is not returning phone calls. We love our piggy and she is extremely sweet but we will be having her fully vetted to confirm her health. We will be finding another breeder if we chose to purchase another piggy in the future. ***update*** Our piggy was seen by a vet on 3/3. She is 100% a pot bellied pig and not the julliana breed as promised by Nicole. She has also still not provided any vaccine records. Do not do business with this breeder. It is a scam!
