Read the 2017 Paw Report from PSDA - a survey of pet owners in the UK reveals "Dr. Google" rather than veterinarians is many owner's go to source for information. "Only 7% of dog owners spoke to a veterinary professional before taking on their dog" ... Lack of pre-purchase research impacts welfare.
"We need to make potential dog owners aware that vets and vet nurses can be their first port-of-call for friendly, knowledgeable, local advice. This would help them to make an informed decision on not only which breed could be right for their lifestyle, but also how to provide for their prospective dog’s five welfare needs, the cost and time implications of dog ownership and, importantly, how to find a puppy responsibly and avoid puppy farms."
