Smeraglia Goldendoodles Complaints

Smeraglia refers to the name of one of the most popular breeders that is based in Alabama, the United States. Despite being one of the most loved, just like any other things, it is normal for them to get a complaint from the customer.

In the forum called on BBB or Better Business Bureau, you will be able to find a complaint about the Smeraglia. The complaint was posted on April 16, 2018 and has been resolved. It is about the refund. Basically, Smeraglia has failed to issue a refund for a puppy that contracted a deadly virus while in training. On March 19, 2018, they informed the user through an email. The email itself consisted of a video that explained that the kennel had been infected by a virus and the 11-week-old puppy purchased by the user had been exposed to the virus and was getting treated at an animal hospital. About a week later, Smeraglia informed the user that the virus was serious and there was also a bacterial infection resistant to antibiotics. They added that the virus could be transmitted to humans. The user was asked to choose another puppy. As the user did not want it, they replied that they wanted to get a full refund instead, which included the cost of the puppy with the addition of 8 weeks of training.

The user though that they would be given a full refund. At the beginning of April 2018 9April 4^th, 2018 for exact), Smeraglia was called and asked by the user about the status of the refund. Then, the user was told that the request would be processed by the end of the week. Nine days later, the user sent an email to Smeraglia and asked about the status of the refund for the second time. They received a response stating that the check was in the mail and the message would be forwarded to the accountant. It has been about three weeks since the day the user was informed that the dog or the puppy had contracted a deadly virus at the kennel of Smeraglia. It was such a pity because the user had been attracted to the dog through the training videos that were usually sent every week. Apart from that, the payment for the dog and for the training process was prompt. In addition, there was no deed for the Smeraglia to beg for payment as the user was the one asking for a refund.

As stated before, the complaint has been resolved and according to the BBB or Better Business Bureau, the user has received a full refund on April 16, 2018 or three weeks after the initial request.
