8 Things to Know Before You Buy a Pet

The breeder only communicates by telephone

If you have been in contact with a breeder and he only talks to you on the phone but refuses to meet you in person, it may be a "red flag".

You need to make sure that you see where the baby and his parents are coming from, but also that the person who is teaching you is trustworthy. Pay special attention to the animal's behavior: the puppy must be friendly and sociable, and the place where it comes from must be clean and tidy.

"My girlfriend and I decided to take a pet and we found an online ad about a Bengali cat. We got to the breeder and wanted to see the cat. When we arrived, he wouldn't let us in. "I saw the kittens, I picked one, I paid, and I went home immediately. I found that the little one had fleas and certain eye problems. we've been stressed with him for a long time "

Ask  to  avoid surprises

A good breeder cares about his pets and treats them like his own children. He is willing to talk for hours about their schedule, food, and temperament. In addition to other questions, you may also be interested in his experience in this business.

You also need to be prepared to answer questions about your own experience with pets or if you can provide them with everything they need to live. He will also sell you a pet based on your answers.

Do not rush

A person who is advised to raise pets will never rush to sell you a puppy before the right time. Certain special periods will be taken into account, such as vaccinations.

The attitude of the animal

If you notice that the pet is hiding when it sees you or becomes anxious and aggressive, you should not try to buy it. Afterward, it may be very difficult for you to try to change his behavior.

A good breeder cares about the socializing skills of animals around humans, to prepare them for future owners. The puppy should be active and loving and not try to escape from the car during the trip home.

One race

If you go home to a breeder and see cages with animals of different species and breeds, then you should know that you have met a man who only wants to make a profit and does not care too much about those creatures.

An experienced person in this field will know everything about certain breeds, and the fewer animals he has, the better because they receive even more attention.

What do you do if you change your mind?

In some cases, you may end up at home with your new family member, and a few days later, you may find that you are allergic to it.

A good breeder will give you a period of accommodation with the animal, to understand what kind of responsibility awaits you and to figure out how you react around it. If something goes wrong, he should take the animal back without any problems.

The health status

Certain breeds of animals are more prone to disease. For example, large dogs often have heart or joint problems.

An experienced breeder will be ready to provide you with all the documents and certificates from the start that prove that the animals are healthy. He won't mind if you want to ask him to go to a vet of your choice to test the animal before you buy it.

Pedigree

If you want to compete with your pet, you will need all the necessary documents to prove that it belongs to a certain breed.

The breeder should provide them to you when you buy them. If you are not sure if the documents are real, you can contact the association that issued them and find out if everything is fine.
