Contagious

The puppy mill owners only have one thing in mind, profit. To limit their costs, breeders provide no veterinary care, minimal food and water, and filthy living conditions for the dogs. From this, conditions such as epilepsy, respiratory and eye problems, and heart disease can occur. On top of this dogs that arrive at pet stores and into new homes can carry more serious diseases undesirable to new owners leading to further abandonment.
