HERE’S THE THING
When a family negotiates the price, they are actually asking to negotiate the cost of acquiring parent dogs’, their health tests, the effort put into training and evaluating parent dogs, the costs needed to have a clean and healthy environment to raise pups, the sleepless nights of whelping a new litter, and the incredible amount of time and energy spent caring for the pups. A breeder is left to wonder which of these is worthy to skimp on. My answer, none. Producing a well-bred and quality puppy necessitates a higher fee for the responsible breeder to recoup their costs. Reputable breeders believe and stand by the quality of the pups they produce. What health guarantee would be offered if they didn’t? They have put their blood, sweat, and tears of joy (and sadness, because let’s face it Mother Nature answers to no one) into their furbabies and believe their fee reflects the quality.
How do you price a puppy?
It’s the number of puppies in your litter commonly referred to as the litter size or puppy count. Now, you can easily decide on the right price for your puppies: divide the sum of all expenses by the number of puppies; and put that price into perspective with the market and your reputation (aka supply and demand.)
The emotional cost of buying a pet store puppy
When you’re looking for a new puppy, it’s important to be aware of the emotional cost of buying a pet store puppy. It’s not just the initial price tag that you need to consider, but also the lifelong commitment that you’re making to your new furry friend.
Many people assume that they can negotiate puppy prices at Petland, but the truth is that the emotional cost of buying a pet store puppy is often much higher than the initial price tag. Pet store puppies are often sick and injured, and they often come from inhumane breeding facilities. This means that you could be facing a lifetime of expensive veterinary bills, not to mention the emotional toll of watching your pup suffer.
If you’re looking for a new puppy, we urge you to consider adoption instead of Petland. There are millions of dogs in shelters across the country who would make wonderful pets, and they need homes!
