Some puppy mill puppies are sold over the internet, directly to the public, in newspaper ads, and at flea markets. Illnesses are common in dogs from puppy mills. Because puppy mill operators often failed to apply husbandry practices that would remove sick dogs from their breeding pools, puppies from puppy mills are prone to congenital and heredity conditions. These can include Epilepsy, Heart Disease, Kidney Disease, Musculoskeletal Disorders, Endocrine Disorders, Blood Disorders, Deafness, Eye Problems, and Respiratory Disorders.

Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, without adequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization. Puppy mill dogs do not get to experience treats, toys, exercise or just basic grooming. To minimize waste cleanup, dogs are often kept in cages with wire flooring that injures their paws and legs. It is not unusual to see cages stacked on top of each other. In order to maximize profit, breeding females are often bred at every opportunity with little or no recovery time in between litters. When, after a few years, they are physically depleted to the point that they can no longer reproduce, they are often killed.
