Are you ready to commit to buying a puppy responsibly?

Congratulations! Bringing a new dog into your home and family is one of the most rewarding things in the world. But many new puppy owners indicate that their puppy is far more work than they expected.

 

Know the risks

That’s why we have created an exclusive “How to Prepare and Care for Your New Puppy” guide to help prepare you for puppy ownership.

Join our Cute. Quick. Sick. campaign to receive this guide and make the first step towards being a responsible pet owner. You’ll join thousands of people around the world who are committed to the responsibility of giving a pet a loving home, beginning with the way they buy.

Why should you join?

Every year, millions of dogs are traded in Europe, often bought from unregulated online websites or marketplaces. As the number of people looking to buy a puppy online continues to grow, the cruel and illegal trade also soars to meet demand.

Not only does the illegal puppy trade carry high animal welfare risks for puppies, it also comes with risks that new owners do not foresee:

  • Emotional- Heartbroken families must deal with the emotional turmoil of losing their new family member.
  • Financial- Vet bills are not cheap! The cost of treating a sick or dying puppy can quickly escalate into thousands.
  • Legal- Unforeseen quarantine costs and dealing with fraudulent paperwork can be a long and difficult process.

Play your part

Will you join people around the world who are committed to acquiring a pet responsibly? By doing so, you can protect countless numbers of dogs from the illegal puppy trade.
