Last month we posted a blog to help you determine if you are ready to adopt a pet<\/a>. If the answer is \u201cyes\u201d, have you given any thought to whether you\u2019ll adopt a purebred or mixed breed? Do you know where you\u2019ll purchase your new furry friend? While this is an exciting time, it\u2019s important you consider these factors before committing to a life changing commitment.<\/p>\n

Here is some additional information you\u2019ll want to consider throughout your adoption process:<\/p>\n

Mixed Breeds Are Healthier<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a reputable full-service pet relocation company, we take pride in ensuring the safe travel of all pets. Because of this, we are particularly careful when transporting brachycephalic<\/a> (short-nosed) pets, such as Boxers or Persian cats, because their potential breathing struggles can make travelling difficult. Although this particular health concern is a factor when travelling, there are many others that are more likely to occur in purebreds than mixed breeds.<\/p>\n

Of 24 genetic disorders<\/a> examined in one study, 10 were more likely to occur in purebreds, including epilepsy, cataracts, and elbow dysplasia. In comparison, only one disorder was more likely to occur in mixed breeds.<\/p>\n

You Can Save the Helpless<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most animals in shelters are mixed breeds, and although we are happy to see a decreasing number of perfectly healthy animals being euthanized<\/a> at Canadian shelters, until that number is zero there is more we can do.<\/p>\n

If you are considering adopting a cat, keep in mind that Canada is currently experiencing a cat overpopulation crisis. If you purchase your new furry friend from a breeder, spay or neuter your pet to make sure they don\u2019t accidentally run away and reproduce.<\/p>\n

Find a Better Match<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shelters only charge enough fees to cover their overhead and the care and health needs of the animals; they don\u2019t try to turn a profit. Because of this, their staff ensure your future pet is vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and that their temperament matches your family\u2019s lifestyle. As much as the staff might bond with every animal they care for, they hope to send each one to their \u201cforever\u201d home.<\/p>\n
