Reporting your concerns

Although it can be hard to walk away from a puppy that looks like it needs your help, you will only be funding the illegal trade by purchasing a puppy and another dog will soon take its place.

#SayNoToPuppyDealers
– walk away, report your concerns, stop the trade.

If you have concerns about a puppy you are looking to buy, or have already bought in Scotland call the Scottish SPCA animal helpline on
03000 999 999.

If you have concerns about a puppy you are looking to buy, or have already bought in England or Wales call the RSPCA cruelty line on
0300 1234 999.

If you are a vet, find guidance on what do do if you suspect the illegal importation of pets in Scotland.
