Advertisements should be truthful, sincere offers to sell. Advertisers have a responsibility to have substantiation for all claims made and should be able to provide that substantiation upon request. All advertising that may mislead or deceive consumers should be avoided.
Advertisers should ensure that testimonials and endorsement are not misleading and represent the current opinion of the endorser. A consumer endorser’s experience should reflect what users generally achieve, unless there is a clear and conspicuous disclosure of what the expected results will be. Advertisers should not include claims in testimonials that they themselves cannot make and support.
Advertisers should avoid broad, unqualified environmental claims such as “green,” or “eco-friendly.”Other claims such as “degradable”, “recycled”, and “non-toxic” should only be used when substantiated and properly qualified. Environmental certifications and seals of approval may be used if properly issued. Additional disclosures are needed if not issued by an independent third-party.
Despite written requests, as of March 28, 2022, Hounds Around Town has not responded to BBB’s request for revisions and clarification in its advertising.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
