What are some red flags when buying a puppy from a breeder?
When purchasing a puppy from a breeder, there are some red flags to be aware of. Be sure to ask for the breeder's credentials and vet records. Ensure their puppies receive regular veterinary care, vaccinations, and check-ups. Ask questions about their breeding program: how they arrange litters, their process for selecting the best puppies, etc. Also, check to ensure the puppies are socialized and not living in unsanitary conditions. Finally, request proof of necessary paperwork, such as a health certificate or registration papers. If they can't provide this information, it may be wise to look elsewhere.
What credit score do you need to finance a pet?
The financing provider determines eligibility and any credit requirements. We do not quote a minimum credit score or guarantee approval.
Do dog breeders usually take credit cards?
Yes, many dog breeders do take major credit cards, and is the safest option. However, some breeders will accept other forms of payment (although not recommended due to lack of protection), such as cash, check, Zelle, or even PayPal. It is best to check with the individual breeder to determine their payment options.
Are there any alternatives to financing a puppy?
If financing is not an option, or if you prefer not to finance your puppy, we recommend saving until you've collected enough funds to cover the purchase cost plus expenses on caring for your puppy. Remember, there are other costs to take into account when a puppy is under your care, such as food, training, vet expenses, etc. Bringing home a puppy from a rescue organization or shelter is another path that may be more budget-friendly and can also help save a life.
Are there any requirements for financing a puppy?
Application requirements are determined by the financing provider. Call our team to ask about the current process and review any offer and its terms before deciding.
