If you decided to get a pet, it’s definitely not a good idea to buy it on the Internet. But a lot of people do that, as the Internet is becoming a space for all kind of deals. A number of unscrupulous dealers and puppy mills or so called ‘animal brokers’ are selling pets to unsuspecting buyers. According scam reports, such kind of online brokers who are actually scammers use different elaborate websites and fabricated stories to bilk substantial sums of money out of people for pets that don't even exist. If the pets happen to be real very often they have serious health problems. Analyzing scam reports it is possible to identify some ways to keep from being scammed by online pet sellers. Let’s consider what it is necessary to know to avoid the most common problems with online pet purchases. Before buying a dog from a breeder it is recommended to visit him and check in what conditions the dog is living, it is necessary to make sure that the place isn’t a puppy mill or irresponsible backyard used for breeding business. We can’t support puppy mills which are inhumane factory-style operations by buying from them. Puppy mills are intended to breed dogs to be sold for a quick profit to pet stores and over the Internet. They are often sicky, and dogs from there usually have some inherited health disorders as their mothers are spending all their lives in cages constantly giving a birth to new and new puppies. And it is known when dogs are constantly pregnant they don’t pass on the proper nutrients and can’t give any healthy breed. Buying dogs from pet stores or over the Internet we support puppy meals as well as other irresponsible breeders that currently and successfully are operating on the animal market. That’s why it is so important not to buy dogs as well as other pets from distant buyers, sellers or adopters. It happens pretty often that pet owners don’t know that their dogs were born in a puppy mill abroad, let’s even say overseas, as a lot of animals usually come to U.S. brokers from China and Russia. So it is required to make sure that you don’t deal with a broker when buying a pet. One needs to check all the references that include veterinarians and others who've purchased pets from this breeder. It is better not to have any business with those who promises a free puppy just for the cost of shipping. According to scam reports, in such kind of transactions scammers ask people to send money, for example, because a not-existing dog stuck somewhere at the airport for some reasons. As well as one should never fall for claims that the seller, let’s say, represents an animal shelter or just a very nice person who organizes pets adoption. None of reputable shelters do their business in this way, by sending out mass emails and then shipping pets to people. There are a lot of scam reports like these and other different on the Internet. So be careful, don’t get scammed as well as don’t support awful pet scammer’s business!
