What to do if you've bought an ill pet

If you have bought a Dachshund from a classified ad or website that has turned out to be a poorly or problem pet, the Pet Advertising Advisory Group wants to hear from you.

It is important to keep a detailed record of your pet’s illnesses with dates and times of when they occurred. Ensure you obtain a full veterinary report. Similarly, take regular photos and, if possible, video footage that illustrate your animal’s condition. These records may be essential to show that your pet was ill when you bought it. If you have other pets ensure they are kept separate from your new animal until it is given a clean bill of health.

Please submit a report to the PAAG following their instructions here.
