Holiday Puppies and Kittens

When gifting a puppy or kitten this Christmas keep a few things in mind.

Giving a pet is a very personal decision.
Does the recipient want a new pet and are they equipped to spend adequate time and resources on the pet?
What kind of pet would they like to receive?
Will the recipient afford the veterinary bills and a good quality food?

Puppies and kittens are precious and although they require a lot of work you are sure to reap the benefits of their love. If you are purchasing from a breeder have your veterinary clinic look over the records they provide. We want to make sure your pet is adequately protected with the appropriate amount of vaccinations and free from intestinal parasites. When adopting from an animal shelter they will most likely have the first set of vaccinations and be spayed or neutered but again have your vet look over the records.
