Online scams are on the rise. PetProov helps you verify sellers and protect your next pet purchase.
Puppy prep 101 – backed by Beco
Never pay without seeing the puppy
Scammers often use stolen or AI-generated images to advertise pets that don’t exist. They’ll avoid live video calls, ask for deposits upfront and disappear after payment.
Always insist on a live video call or in-person meet-up before paying anything.
Watch for unrealistic prices or pressure
If a price feels too good to be true – it probably is. Scammers use urgency to rush decisions: “I’ve had loads of interest – can you pay now to hold the puppy?”
Trust your instincts and avoid listings with vague details or pressure tactics.
Do your research – and verify it
Before you commit, check the breeder’s credentials, ask questions, and make sure the puppy’s environment is ethical and safe. A genuine seller will always be happy to share details.
Look for ID, proof of address, vet records and clear communication.
