ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Many of you may be doing some last-minute Christmas shopping and veterinarians are asking you to not have a puppy or kitten on that last-minute list this year.
âYou donât buy on an impulse,â said Trey Newell, a veterinarian with Westover Animal Hospital.
He and other vets said you should do your research on dog and cat breeds and find out whatâs best for your family. They donât recommend you bring one home as a surprise for your kids, partner or even senior citizens because that animal might not be the right fit and could end up in a shelter.
