Puppies for Sale Near Tampa: Plan Your Visit to Our Largo Store

A lot of our families come from Tampa. Our store is across the bay at 8240 Ulmerton Road in Largo, about 20 miles from downtown Tampa. Without heavy traffic it’s around 30 minutes. At rush hour, or if there’s trouble on the bridge, it can take a lot longer.

Getting here from Tampa

Take I-275 south across the Howard Frankland Bridge, then exit onto Ulmerton Road (SR 688) heading west. Follow Ulmerton to 8240. Coming from north Tampa or the Westshore area, the Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR 60) into Clearwater is another option.

Making the trip worth it

Since you’re crossing the bay, a little planning helps:

• Look first. Browse our available puppies online and write down the ones you like.
• Call ahead at 727-216-6110. We’ll let you know if those puppies are still here and ready to meet visitors. New arrivals sometimes need a few days to settle in first.
• Apply for financing early if you plan to use monthly payments. You can apply online with our lender partners before you leave home.
• Bring what you need for the ride home: a small crate or carrier, an old towel and a little water. Have someone ride along so the puppy isn’t alone in the back seat.

Meeting a puppy in person matters. You’ll see how they handle being picked up, how they play and how they react to your kids. That’s worth the drive, even when there are lots of photos online.

Tampa dog parks for later

The City of Tampa runs many dog parks, including:

• Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park (600 N. Ashley Dr.) downtown
• Jim Urbanski Dog Park at Al Lopez Park (4810 N. Himes Ave.)
• Davis Islands Dog Park and Dog Beach (1002 Severn St.)

Check the city’s “Barks & Recreation” page for weekly maintenance closures. Wait until your vet says your puppy’s vaccines are complete.

Your puppy’s health

Every puppy is checked by a veterinarian before going home and comes with:

• a health certificate
• up-to-date vaccines and worming
• a microchip
• a bag of super-premium food

Our guarantees include a 30-day general health guarantee and a 1-year hereditary and congenital guarantee. The Guarantees page explains what to do if you’d rather see your own vet in Tampa.
