- Title
Advising clients on choosing a pet.
- Authors
Murphy, April Louise
- Abstract
As there appears to be an increase in the number of people purchasing puppies and kittens, it is important that they contact their veterinary practice to get advice before they make their choice. Veterinary nurses are best placed to talk to prospective owners about key aspects such as species, sources and age of their new pet. Ideally, we should encourage owners to consider adopting a pet rather than shopping for one. If clients still want to purchase a puppy, they should be aware of Lucy's Law that came into force in April 2020 regarding the sale of puppies
