Is it safe to buy a Pug puppy online?
You might find that the prices you find for advertising such as "Pugs for Sale, Perth" on websites or social media are a lot more attractive to you and your purse. But you should be wary of getting your dog or any other animal, for that matter, from online resources such as Facebook.
In general, there is no harm with searching for puppies online, but purchasing a puppy directly online is definitely dangerous in terms that the contact you are purchasing from is most likely a fraud.
Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure you are not falling victim to a scammer.
These are the things you should ALWAYS do and ask for before you purchase a puppy (no matter whether online or in real life):
- Have an introductory phone call with the breeder or contact person
- Ask lots of questions
- Ask for photos and check their legitimacy
- Request to visit and see the puppies (this is probably one of the most important steps to prevent you from being scammed!)
- Collect the puppy in person and ask for a sales contract

The tips above should also help you to protect yourself against scammers or getting dogs from a breeding stock that is prone to health issues.
