The holiday season is upon us and many of us are looking for the right gift.
It seems like a cute puppy or kitten would be the perfect gift.
But before purchasing an animal from your local pet store, it's worth thinking about it.
Let's think about whether buying a pet as a gift would be a good idea.
General and useful recommendations
Avoid purchasing puppies from a pet store, as these companies may source animals from puppy mills - these dogs may be sick due to lack of nutrition and medical care.
It is also forbidden to buy other products from an organization that purchases goods from puppy mills, as this increases the profits of such organizations.
Consider an animal shelter or go to a reputable store.
It is unlikely that giving a pet as a gift is a good idea if the person is not ready for a pet. It is important to make sure that the recipient is ready for the responsibility.
