Vet Warns of Puppy Scammers after Rise in Lockdown Puppies | Good Morning Britain

A quarter of new owners admit buying a puppy during the coronavirus pandemic, with little research leaving them particularly vulnerable to scams and unable to spot the signs of an unscrupulous breeder, or ending up with a dog which won’t suit their lifestyle long-term. More than two in five bought a puppy to be their Covid companion and two thirds agree that their dog was a ‘lifeline in lockdown.’ Almost two thirds of those who bought a puppy during the pandemic believed lockdown was the perfect time to get a puppy – with three quarters also stating their dog was the best thing about lockdown – yet thousands missed red flags in the process: 27 per cent paid money before actually seeing their puppy, 42 per cent didn’t see the puppy’s breeding environment, in real-life or via video call, An overwhelming 83 per cent weren’t asked any questions by the breeder about their suitability as owners.
