Before purchasing a dog or cat, it is important to do some research in order to determine whether the person is legitimate and check that they are a reputable breeder. Follow the below list to avoid being scammed:
2. Ask for information about what vet the breeder is taking their animals to and proof of veterinary visits.
3. Have a look at breeder reviews.
4. Google the breeder’s name and contact number to see if they come up on any other scam review pages.
5. Meet with the animal in person before you put down a deposit or send any money.
6. Ask to facetime the breeder to see the animals you are interested in if you cannot visit in person.
7. Ask for references from other buyers before you put down a deposit.
8. Ask questions about their policies on refunds/returns/what happens if the animal isn’t a good fit.
9. Ask for the RPBA member’s mobile number to verify their breeder membership:
