Is it safe to buy a pet online?

What’s wrong with buying a pet online?

First of all, there is a problem when you cannot directly access the breeder and ask questions about the dog you are about to buy. Then there is a problem with the sites that sell puppies and kittens and that is that they do not have quality control on the pets that they sell and this is a big problem. You are not sure what you are going to get and there is no way to correct it.

There is also a big problem and that is that many puppies come from puppy mills and from people who breed dogs just for the money. Most breeders have never owned a champion dog or been to a dog show and are not breeding for the breed, just out of greed! Many sites say they refuse to advertise puppy breeder dogs, but since anyone can sign up and advertise without any checks, you can be sure there are plenty of puppy breeder ads out there.

A website unlike all others is http://www.pawsitesonline.com
On that site, you have access to thousands of breeders and a direct link to them using your Breeder Instant Messaging System (IBMS). With this system, as a buyer, you have the opportunity to communicate directly with the breeder if they are online and ask questions before deciding whether to buy the puppy or kitten or not. ALL breeders have been vetted and there are no puppy mills. ALL breeders have at least one champion and take their breeding program very seriously.

So be VERY careful where you go to find your beloved pet online. Don’t go anywhere and buy a puppy on your own, you could end up paying huge vet bills and having no way of contacting your puppy’s breeder.
