Health Guarantee

We certify that your puppy has been examined by a licensed veterinarian and is in good health at the time of leaving the Breeder’s place of residence. A Health Record is provided for each puppy purchased from us, which shows vaccinations, deworming, medications, etc., received by the puppy while in the Breeder’s care.

All puppies purchased through our website are covered with at least a 1-year health guarantee by us which a contract is signed to guarantee. If you have questions about what is covered, please view the Law associated with your state.

Within ten days of purchasing your new puppy, you must take him/her to a licensed veterinarian for an examination. If the veterinarian determines, within ten days of purchase, that your dog is clinically ill or has died from an injury sustained or illness likely to have been contracted on or before the date of sale and delivery, you have the following options:

Return the dog for a complete refund. Return the dog for a replacement dog of equal value. Retain the dog and receive reimbursement for reasonable veterinary fees, not exceeding the purchase price. These options do not apply where we have provided a health certificate issued by a veterinarian, which discloses in writing at the time of sale the health problem for which the buyer later seeks to return the dog. If, within 30 days of purchase, a licensed veterinarian determines that your dog has a congenital or hereditary defect that adversely affects the animal’s health or that your dog died from a congenital or hereditary defect, you have the same option as outlined above.

You must notify us of the examining veterinarian’s name, address & phone number within two days of the vet’s certification of your dog’s illness. Failure to notify us within two business days will result in forfeiture of rights. Each state has different laws related to the sale of a puppy; please educate yourself on the laws in the state in which you purchase your puppy.

Each state has different guidelines regarding guaranteed health for sold puppies. For states that do not have a mandatory health guarantee in place, any buyer purchasing through our site is expected to cover the health of their puppies for at least 30 days. In the event that a state guideline is in place offering a guarantee longer than 30 days, that law holds precedence.

Some breeders offer extended guarantees on their puppies. It is not legal for a breeder to offer a health guarantee that is not at least equal to state law. For a more detailed description of extended genetic health guarantees, read below.

Extended Genetic Health Guarantees (when offered)

An additional guarantee specifically covers any disease or illness that is proven to be of a genetic origin through proper veterinary examination and testing.

These guarantees do not cover normal veterinary costs incurred while providing general care for the puppy. Proper documentation must be provided to the breeder before any compensation is paid. This guarantee does not cover any costs incurred related to injuries caused by the owner’s negligence or accidental injury.

In the event the Customer is unable or unwilling to care for the puppy at any time during the puppy’s life, the Customer agrees to contact us Pets for assistance with the puppy’s rehoming. If the Customer must return the puppy for any reason, this return will not be subject to any refund or credits for the Customer, and the Customer will be responsible for all travel-related costs to deliver the puppy to his/her new home.
