  • Talk to your veterinarian about how to care for your older pet and be prepared for possible age-related health issues.

    Why are you so expensive?

    Although, in many cases, our prices are comparable to or less than those you would find elsewhere, our goal is to be the best and safest place to find your new furry family member. As a result of the heavy investment we make in our technology and nearly 200 dog-loving team members across the country, we are not competing to be the cheapest place to buy your dog. What we do involves a lot more than just selling puppies. Beyond matching you with your perfect puppy, handling all of the logistics to get your puppy to you and providing an industry-leading health guarantee, we also employ a full compliance team who screens, qualifies and regularly re-screens every active breeder in our network, as well as a team of health experts to make sure your puppy is in great shape before it leaves its breeder. We provide hands-on, personalized guidance throughout the entire placement process and are always just an email or call away. And, our customers can rest easily with our No Puppy Mill Promise and free lifetime support, which are all included in the exclusive package that accompanies every Puppiesforsalenearme puppy. All that allows you to focus on what really matters – preparing your home for your new best friend.

    Why use PuppySpot rather than adopt from a shelter?

    Reputable shelters are a great option for some, but they are not for everyone. If finding a purebred or purpose-bred designer puppy or knowing your new family member’s health and behavioral history are important to you, Puppiesforsalenearme  the better choice for you as that information is not often available to you at a shelter. That being said, we are not anti-shelter in any way but, instead, pro-dog. As dog lovers, what is important to us is that people are able to make educated choices and find their dogs from a responsible, humane source, whether that source is a shelter, a rescue or a breeder. And, while there are many wonderful shelters and rescues out there, unfortunately, that is not always the case. Unlike responsible breeders, rescues and shelters are not typically licensed or regulated by the government and often operate without government oversight.

    Also, while adopting from a shelter is a viable alternative for some people, for tens of millions of South Africa dog lovers, adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue is simply not feasible for health reasons (e.g., disabilities, PTSD, allergies). There are also many dog lovers for whom knowing the behavioral and health histories of their puppies is important, whether that’s because they have small children, need a service dog or otherwise want a specific breed with specific characteristics. There are countless other reasons a family may have decided a purebred or designer breed is the best fit for their family and, without documentation about a dog and its family history, it can be impossible to tell whether you are getting what you think you are.

    Will I be able to visit my puppy before my puppy comes home?

    While finding a puppy used to be a local exercise where you were limited to the breeds and breeders near you regardless of their quality or experience, Puppiesforsalenearme has changed all of that. Puppiesforsalenear  was specifically designed to connect you with the perfect puppy for you, no matter where in the country you or the breeder live. As a result, in most cases, the first time you meet your new best friend is when he or she arrives in your home. That said, our transparent process is specifically designed to eliminate all the scary unknowns that often accompany looking for a new puppy, whether you are looking online or offline. From the start of the process when we screen, vet and qualify every breeder in our network, to our unmatched health and vaccination protocols, we do everything to ensure you receive a healthy puppy from a responsible source. And, we back all of that with an industry-leading health guarantee.

    Although you will not visit your new family member before he or she travels to you, our team of puppy experts is committed to keeping you informed of milestones including your puppy’s health check, travel arrangements, and what your puppy is eating.
