How much will a dog cost me?
Did you know 40% of all dogs
who end up in shelters are purebred?? You may find your new dog at your local
shelter!!
You think buying from a breeder is expensive? Puppy's from Pet
stores have really bad health issues, and in fact OVER CHARGE for their
unhealthy dogs to make profit. Very rarely does a dog from a pet
shop not have any sicknesses. Are you willing to take that chance? Here are some things you should
evaluate:
 | Is it worth buying from a Pet shop and then having an unhealthy dog? |
| How expensive will those vet bills be? |
| or better yet... will I be willing to spend hundreds of
dollars on the dogs health issues? |
| How happy will my family be with a sick dog or what if it
dies soon after you buy it ? |
| Breeders have written guarantees on their dogs for at least one
year, Most pet shops have "no return" policy OR you can return
them in 3 days maximum. Will I know ALL the health issues of that
dog in three days? |
| Am I willing to support animal abuse in order to (perhaps)
save some money? |
| If I have a concern regarding my dog, will the pet shop
help me with my questions and concerns? (The pet shop I got my two
dogs from refused to help me with my concerns, gave the me the name of the
"so called" breeder where they bought my two dogs from, and when I
wrote the "breeder" the breeder NEVER contacted me.) |
