The link just made me feel quite sick when i read the posts, prices and number of people wanting to purchase.
There will never be an end to abuse or the abandoned animals all the time this is going on. Obviously there is a market and people are buying. :(
Googled Pet Mania, this is their facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pet-Mania-Dubai/193366014030230
wonder where their dogs come from? There seem to be a lot of enquiries on their facebook page. No good to have another pet store importing dogs here.
International City is a free zone, so I guess it is cheaper for them to open a branch there.
I shop at Spinneys there, they have some products at all times that are hard to find in other locations.
Haven't seen the Pet Mania though. The place looks different now - the green areas are maintained and most buildings are repainted. Nakheel is managing the place again.
Cheers

Is it just me, but anything at International City seems to raise a red flag ...
Me too, there is another "pet supply" operation coming out of there as well that can order any pet online for you and deliver with 7 days..............:(
Very, very dodgy. And sad. They really need to get in there and clean that place up. But on another note, how are these suspect companies operating when those of us with legitimate business ideas can't afford the start up fees and local partner?
