Looking for healthy, professionally raised puppies near Kernersville? Healthy Pups has been a trusted source for quality puppies since 1982, providing families throughout North Carolina with loving companions raised to the highest standards. Located within driving distance of Kernersville, our USDA-standard facility offers something increasingly rare in today's marketplace: puppies directly from the breeder, raised in a state-of-the-art quarantine nursery that prioritizes health above all else.

Welcome to Healthy Pups: Serving Families Since 1982

Our journey began when local veterinarians recognized the exceptional health of our puppies during a regional parvovirus pandemic. While other puppies struggled, ours thrived due to our meticulous quarantine practices and professional care standards. Today, we continue this tradition of excellence, raising puppies that transition seamlessly into their forever homes with fewer health complications than typically expected.

The Healthy Pups Difference: Not Just Another Puppy Seller

When searching for puppies near Kernersville, it's important to understand what sets professional breeders apart. Healthy Pups maintains a million-dollar USDA-standard facility specifically designed for optimal puppy health and development. Unlike backyard breeders or retail pet stores sourcing from unknown facilities, we invite you to see exactly where your puppy was born and raised.

Our Professional Breeding Approach:

• Hospital-Clean Quarantine Environment - Our puppies are raised in a controlled, sterilized environment to prevent virus exposure before their immune systems mature
• Comprehensive Vaccination Protocol - Puppies receive multiple vaccinations at 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, and 20 weeks as appropriate while in our care
• Experienced Health Monitoring - With over 40 years of experience, we can identify and address potential health concerns before they become serious
• Genetic Diversity Focus - We prioritize mental and physical health through diverse genetics, avoiding the health issues common in heavily line-bred dogs

Our unique approach means you're not just purchasing a puppy but investing in peace of mind. The professional care our puppies receive before going home significantly reduces the likelihood of expensive veterinary bills and heartbreaking health emergencies that often accompany puppies from less professional sources.

Available Puppies Near Kernersville

We specialize in small to medium-sized breeds that make ideal family companions. Our puppies are typically in the 5-25 pound range when fully grown, making them perfect for most household situations. We offer both purebred puppies and thoughtfully planned mixed breeds known for their superior health, intelligence, and temperament.

Popular Breeds Available:

• Small Companion Breeds: Yorkies, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Toy Poodles
• Family-Friendly Mixes: Schnoodles, Yorkiepoos, Maltipoos, Shichons (Teddy Bears)
• Specialty Crosses: Puggles, Frenchtons, Beagapoos, Cavapoos
• Intelligent Working Breeds: Mini Aussiedoodles, Mini Goldendoodles

Rather than focusing solely on tiny "teacup" varieties that often face significant health challenges, we recommend puppies of an appropriate size for longevity and health. As we often remind customers, a gallon of milk weighs nearly 9 pounds – this provides perspective when considering the practical size for a lifelong companion.

One of our most significant differentiators is our emphasis on mixed-breed puppies. While purebreds have their place, our 40+ years of experience has shown that thoughtfully mixed breeds often demonstrate superior health, intelligence, trainability, and balanced temperaments compared to heavily line-bred show dogs.

Health-First Approach to Raising Puppies

Every puppy at Healthy Pups benefits from our comprehensive health protocols developed over four decades of professional breeding experience. While most puppy sellers focus primarily on appearance and price, we've built our reputation on prioritizing health measures that protect both the puppies and their new families.

Our Puppy Health Protocol:

• Strict Quarantine From Birth - Puppies remain in our biosecure environment from birth until adoption
• Progressive Vaccination Schedule - Scientifically-timed vaccines with preventative measures against reactions
• Regular Parasite Prevention - Ongoing monitoring and treatment to prevent common parasite issues
• Professional Health Assessments - Regular evaluations by experienced staff and veterinary professionals

This approach allows us to offer genuine health guarantees rather than the warranty gimmicks common among puppy brokers. We don't require monthly insurance payments or expensive proprietary food purchases to maintain your warranty – we simply provide healthy puppies raised correctly from the start.

"I want to say 'thank you' for all of your advice when visiting your facility. I purchased the last Beaga-Poo in your litter, a male, and brought him back to my home in Greensboro. I cannot be happier. 'Winston' is the most healthy, loving and affectionate dog I have ever met." - J. Williams

"We just wanted to send our thanks to your company for our new family member. We purchased a nine month old Rat Terrier from you, who we have named 'Mr.T' because he is a mini replica of a great dane we used to have named Taggy. He has been wonderful with allowing my son to give him hugs and kisses, and has never bit him or tried to hurt him in any way." - The Silvas Family

"Thank you so much for our puggle...he has been a great addition to the family. My son and boyfriend love him so much. His name is now Mister Henry Puggles...named by my 4 year old son, Brayden. You have to call him Mister Puggles or Brayden will correct you...it's been great fun."
