A cruel industry

Puppy Farming is an incredibly cruel industry that basically battery-farms dogs. Hundreds of thousands of poor bitches are kept in the dark, endlessly mated to mass-produce pups that are sick, diseased and unsocialised.

These puppies are then sold online, in pet shops and from free newspaper adverts, while their mothers continue to suffer both mentally and physically.

Unfortunately so many dog owners are still not aware this goes on – and even fewer know how to spot the tell-tale signs of when someone is trying to sell them a puppy produced in this way.

More publicity

Following TV Vet Marc Abraham's anti-puppy farming television item on DFS Crufts this year and the success of our first-ever Puppy Farm Awareness Day in Sept 2009 we’re continuing to fight against puppy farming in the UK.

A bigger event means more publicity and as a result a dog-buying population who are more aware of what’s going on and what they need to look out for when searching for a new dog: Always see pup with mother, responsibly bred, or to consider adopting a rescue dog instead.

PUP AID will try and help dog buyers everywhere be aware of how nasty this side of dog breeding is, and hopefully reduce the demand for pups bred in this way and help put a stop to puppy farming in the UK.

There will be a small admission charge to PUP AID with a proportion donated to Dogs Trust
