Ethical Veterinary maintains a lifelong exam discount for shelter or rescue-adopted animals.
Dr. Jefferson cautions against patronizing breeders who ship to online customers or pet stores. This is a primary indicator of a puppy/kitten mill, regardless of what websites or storefronts might claim. Even if these animals arrive free of parasites, illness or injury, their parents remain in concealed conditions of extreme confinement and poor sanitation. In addition, mass-produced puppies and kittens are not responsibly bred. They are highly prone to genetic disease later in life; this often causes unnecessary suffering as well as unexpected expense.
