instead ofbeing taken to a veterinarian.Employees also discussed placing dying animals in the freezer,possibly while still alive.Our investigation ended abruptly when the HSUS's investigatorbecame ill and was diagnosed with campylobacter,a zoonotic bacterial illness that a recentCenters for Disease Controland Prevention investigation linked to contact with sick Petlandpuppies.  \nThe Frisco Petland store was the seventh Petland store the HSUS has investigated undercoverin less than a year.At every store,we found sick puppies in back rooms,and at five of the  \nstores,including the Frisco,Texas and Tyler,Texas stores,we found dead pets in the stores'freezers¹.Sick puppies weredocumented at the Frisco,Texas Petland store from thefirst day of the investigationto the last day of theinvestigation.  \nMany puppies,transportedhundreds of miles to theFrisco Petland store frompuppy mills in the Midwest,had bloody diarrhea or were  \nvomiting,coughing,sneezing or lethargic,and several were visibly underweight.  \nThe Petland Frisco store returned several puppies to their breeders-a long and miserabletrip for such young animals -when their illnesses or injuries were deemed to be beyond whatthe store owner was willing to treat,despite Petland’s website's claim that“every puppy findsa home\"at Petland and that animal welfare is its top priority.  \nKennel staff,who had no apparent veterinary training,routinely force-fed sick puppies or gavemedications directed by the kennel manager or the store's owner,who was seen on cameradirecting sick puppies to be given back-room remedies,such as probiotics or cough syrup,rather than having the puppies taken immediately to a veterinarian.  \nDespite numerous puppies with bloody diarrhea and other illnesses,we saw no evidence thatthe Petland store was sending fecal samples for testing in order to correctly diagnose sickpuppies;instead,our investigator observed that they provided ad-hoc care in house,sometimes for more than a week.If puppies recovered and were sold,the new owners werenot always told their puppies had recently been sick.  \nThe investigation also revealed once again that Petland was purchasing from problematicdealers,including Justin Jackson of Clifton,Kansas,who has appeared in multiple HSUSHorrible Hundred reports on problem breeders (most recently in 2017);and Pinnacle Pet,ahigh volume
