Episode description

Australia has one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world, with around 70% of households owning one. While choosing to bring a puppy or kitten into your home is an exciting time, the sad reality is a lot of these pets come from farms, mills and backyard breeders. Just 15% of puppies purchased every year are thought to be from reputable breeders.

This week a puppy farm was shut down in Tasmania after the RSPCA found evidence of severe over breeding.

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by Sarah Zito from the RSPCA to find out the best ways to spot a good breeder from a bad one.
