Buying a dog today is more complex than ever—and this book is your essential guide.

The Ethical Dog Buyer’s Guide explores what dogs truly need, the meaning of pedigree and breed, and the health issues tied to both purebreds and trendy crossbreeds. From choosing the right size and age to understanding sources—breeders, shelters, pet shops, and online—the author offers practical advice while tackling urgent issues in the canine supply chain: puppy mills, smuggling, and the rise of unhealthy pups. With a strong UK focus and insights into U.S. law, plus real-life case studies, this book goes beyond the typical “choose a dog” manual.

Perfect for informed owners and professionals studying the commercial pet trade, The Ethical Dog Buyer’s Guide is a short, high-level guide for anyone who wants to make ethical, informed decisions when welcoming a dog into their life.
