What to Know Before Buying a Puppy Online in Texas

Buying a puppy online can be convenient, but it comes with risks if you’re not careful. At PetSalesTexas, we’re committed to making sure buyers and sellers stay safe. Before you fall in love with a furry face, here’s what you need to know.

1. Do Your Research

• Know the breed’s behavior, size, and health issues.
• Ask for photos, videos, and recent health records.
• Learn about average prices—too cheap might be a scam.

2. Verify the Seller

• Check for reviews or ratings if available.
• Ask for ID, vet records, and references.
• Meet in person if possible, or set up a live video call.

3. Watch for Red Flags

• Seller refuses to meet or call.
• No proof of vaccinations or registration.
• Asking for money via gift cards or wire transfers.

4. Ask the Right Questions

• What food is the puppy eating?
• Has it started training?
• Are parents on site or available to meet?

5. Know the Rehoming Policy

At [YourMarketplaceName], we encourage sellers to be transparent and offer rehoming support. Always ask about returns, health guarantees, or temporary foster options.

Final Tip:

When in doubt, report suspicious listings and ask our support team to help. Your new furry friend deserves a safe start—and you deserve peace of mind.
