If you love animals, then bringing home a new pet is like adding a new member to your family. The health and personality of this pet will have an impact on the health and personalities of your whole family.

​

Unseen is unknown – meet your new pet first. And take the time to get answers to these three questions before opening your heart and your home:

​

1. Is the source of this pet a licensed business by the state of New Hampshire, some other state or the USDA?

2. What type of health protections does the pet come with? Vaccinations? A health certificate?

3. Are you able to meet this new pet before spending any money?

​

Getting answers to these questions could help avoid an impulse decision that could lead to financial hardship and broken hearts. A new pet should be a joyful experience for you - your family - and your new pet.
