Pet Shop

A child’s first pet is the perfect friend, instilling the little one with companionship and responsibility. Because different animals require varying amounts of care, those interested should make a visit to a physical pet shop to obtain information and appropriate supplies.

However, there is a disturbing increase in animals soled in shops that come from cruel pet mills. One should avoid buying a dog or cat from a pet shop, but should adopt from overcrowded homeless shelters or the Humane Society instead.

However, for those who do chose to buy an animal from a pet store, here are a few responsible questions to ask:
• Where did these animals come from?
• Is this store USDA-licensed?
• What health problems are common to this breed?
• How much do they shed?
• What happens to the animals that don’t sell?
