Why Experts Don’t Recommend Getting Puppies From Puppy Mills

broken image

A ‘puppy mill ’or ‘puppy farm’ is a large-scale dog breeding business. These facilities are known for placing priority on profit rather than the health and well-being of animals. Breeding animals live in poor unsanitary conditions and don’t receive regular veterinary attention. These conditions eventually mean they are mass producing low-quality puppies with questionable lineage. Since mating is not planned, there is over production. In fact, female dogs are mated each time they are in season until they are too old and will have to be euthanized. Unfortunately, many puppies suffer from health or genetic issues, and many are prone to develop behavior and/or health issues. In fact, many pets that end up in pet shelters have been bought from puppy mills. Puppies from these establishments are often sold in pet shops and online, which means they can easily be accessible. If you are planning to get a puppy, you should ask your animal hospital Burlington, ON for reputable dog breeding facilities near you.
