Ethical Veterinary maintains a lifelong exam discount for all shelter or rescue-adopted animals.
Dr. Jefferson cautions against patronizing pet stores or breeders who ship to online customers. These are the primary platforms for puppy/kitten mills, regardless of what websites or storefronts might state. Whether or not these animals arrive to you free of parasites, illness, or injury, their parents typically remain behind in conditions of extreme confinement and poor sanitation. In addition, mass-produced puppies and kittens are not responsibly bred, making them prone to genetic disease(s) later in life. This often causes unnecessary suffering as well as unexpected or unmanageable expense. If ready to welcome an animal into your home, Ethical Veterinary recommends starting
