"Where should I get a dog?" If you work in the pet industry, you’ve heard this question more times than you can count. And let’s be honest—it’s not always a simple answer!

In this episode, Sherry and special guest Verjean break it all down:

🐾 Ethical breeders vs. puppy mills – How to spot the difference

🐾 What makes a breeder "responsible"? – Health testing, socialization, and transparency matter!

🐾 Reputable rescues 101 – Not all rescues are created equal

🐾 The doodle debate – What pet pros need to know about designer breeds

🐾 How to guide customers – Helping them make informed, ethical choices without judgment

This episode is all about giving you the knowledge and confidence to steer pet parents in the right direction—whether they’re looking to adopt or buy. Because at the end of the day, the goal is the same: happy, healthy dogs in responsible, loving homes.
