Why did Pets at Home stop selling dogs?
In response to frequent postings on social media that have consistently misrepresented our position in relation to puppy farming and the sale of puppies, we are taking this opportunity to make our position clear: We have never sold puppies or kittens from our stores, and we never will.
Can you buy dogs from private sellers?
Here's some things to know when buying a puppy from a private seller. A private seller is defined as someone who does not breed and sell puppies as a business. If they did, they would need to be licensed as a commercial trader by the local authority.
Is it safe to buy pets online?
That's why, in the US, the ASPCA and the Humane Society both say you should never buy a puppy online. The International Pet and Animal Transportation Association explains: “Pet scam criminals use free websites, Craig's List, local newspapers, or Facebook to advertise pets that do not exist.”
How can I get a free dog?
You can get a free puppy by simply emailing individuals or organizations with firsthand information on free puppies, such as dog shelters and rescues, kennel clubs, or dog breeders. You can also ask a neighbor whose dog has a new litter or search Facebook groups with a 'free dog adoption' handle.
Are puppy prices coming down?
Puppy prices may not be quite as steep as they were during the height of the pandemic, but they are also unlikely to significantly drop. The lockdown caused a dramatic demand for puppies which hiked the price up and the substantial waiting lists will keep the prices reasonably high.
Where is the safest place to buy a puppy?
The safest way to find a puppy is not to source your puppy through an online advertising website. Seek recommendations from your local vet, approach local dog clubs, look for established breeders with a proven history and good reputation, or consider getting your puppy or dog from a re-homing centre.
How old do you have to be to buy a hamster pets at home?
You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a pet from us. The welfare of the pets we sell in stores is our highest priority and we reserve the right to refuse the sale of a pet where our colleagues feel it is not in the pets best interests.
When can I buy a puppy?

Is it illegal to sell on a puppy?
This welcome law change will make it illegal for anyone other than a breeder to sell kittens and puppies commercially. ... It also means helping heartbroken pet owners when they discover their new puppy is sick, scared and under-socialised.
Can you sell a puppy you just bought?
Less than half of states make a violation of the law a criminal misdemeanor. California's law makes it a misdemeanor to sell a puppy under the age of eight weeks as does Nebraska's. ...
