Yes, for the welfare of the puppies and to comply with UK law, all puppies sold must be microchipped by the time they are 8 weeks old. Vaccinations are also highly recommended before selling puppies to ensure they are protected against common canine diseases. While it’s legally possible to sell unvaccinated puppies, it’s highly discouraged due to the risks unvaccinated puppies face from preventable diseases. Pets4Homes encourages all sellers to vaccinate their puppies before sale, aligning with best practices for animal welfare.
