Getting a new dog is a wonderful experience, however, there are some pitfalls to avoid. Whether rehoming a dog from a rescue centre or buying a pup from a breeder, ensure you obtain as much information as possible about the animal’s history before committing.

It is unfortunately all too common for pups to be bred in poor conditions, but thankfully there are lots of people who have decided to have a litter because they have a passion for a particular breed and want others to share their enjoyment of pet ownership. If you are thinking about getting a new dog, contact the surgery to speak to one of our veterinary nurses for advice.
