Why Are Puppies So Expensive?

Puppy prices are a reflection of the care they receive before and after they are born. Breeders have to feed, care and house their parent dogs to keep them healthy and safe whether they are whelping puppies or not, which includes housing, veterinarian care, vaccinations and healthy food. The same goes for the puppies. There are prenatal and postnatal veterinarian visits, along with problems that can possibly arise. Good breeders aim for quality puppies. A cheap puppy is a red flag that it is possible you are not getting a quality, healthy puppy, and you could possibly be supporting a puppy mill.
