What makes Affordable Pup the best Choice for Maltese Puppies for Sale
Dec 15
Why should you do business with us and not one of those “super” pet stores you find all over the place? For convenience sake, wouldn’t it be easier to just drop in to one of their locations, see what they have to offer, and take a dog home with you? You might even pay less, but you’ll be getting what you pay for, and you’ll be contributing to the existence of puppy mills here in the United States and overseas. Many of the Maltese puppies for sale in pet stores were bred in horrific conditions that are not only immoral, but illegal in this country. Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop them from operating.
Here at Affordable Pup, all of the teacup Maltese puppies for sale we have listed on our website were bred by independent, loving humans who don’t make a living out of breeding hundreds of dogs a month. Their dogs are not caged twenty hours a day and actually have families that they spend time with. They’re healthy, vital, and energetic little dogs who enjoy love and affection and in most cases will live to their full life expectancy of fifteen to twenty years. That doesn’t happen in puppy mills.
The Maltese for sale you get from a puppy mill could have any number of physical ailments. The sole purpose of these facilities is to breed dogs. They cage them, feed them only their minimum basic requirement, and breed them until they’re worn out. Most puppy mills don’t pay much attention to whether or not the dogs they’re breeding come from the same litter, so inbreeding is a problem. Maltese are susceptible to knee problems as is. Inbreeding makes the chances of those problems occurring more likely. It also lowers the dogs’ immune systems to fight disease.
All of this is common knowledge and yet there are still pet stores that don’t have sufficient checks and balances in place to ensure that puppy mill dogs don’t end up in their cages. Much of this has to do with money. The Maltese puppies for sale Pennsylvania pet owners want sell for hundreds of dollars. A pure bred with papers can be priced at $800 or more. A Maltese without papers can still bring in $200 or more, not bad for a pet store that paid less than $50 for them. The numbers are sickening.
The holidays are upon us and children and loved ones will be asking if you can buy them one of the teacup Maltese puppies for sale they see in the pet stores. Keep in mind where these dogs actually come from. The price tag will tell you the story. You might save a few dollars if you buy there but you’ll definitely be contributing to cruelty to animals if you do. Puppy mills are already illegal, but consumer demand keeps them going. You are the consumer. Are you going to take a stand against puppy mills?
