Welfare of your Westie, Page 3

Your animals welfare, should at all times be of prime concern. I have heard horror stories of people visiting breeders to purchase a pup, only to find the animals in appalling conditions. Cold damp garden sheds, several breeds of dogs housed in terrible conditions. The list is endless what people will do to make money without any care for the animals.

Ensure your "Pet" has a nice warm cozy spot in the house, If you have a bitch about to have puppies, set up a den for her, well away from drafts, and away from regular household traffic. Make sure she has warm bedding and plenty of food and water.

If you hear of any stories, no matter how unlikely they are, report them to your local animal welfare society. Local councils can be contacted, RSPCA, ARSPCA can be informed of ANY ill treatment.

Help stamp out animal abuse, shut down the puppy farms, Prosecute any breeders who do not look after the animals.
