Your Responsibilities

There is no better feeling than delivering a cute furry bundle of joy to their new forever home. We want to keep you and your puppy happy by asking you to take a few precautionary measures to ensure your puppy is healthy and will live a long happy life. Here’s what you must do:

Here’s what you should do:

  1. Take your puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 3 business days. (The exam must be performed by a licensed veterinarian.)
  2. Keep and maintain a copy of the exam or medical record results. Not taking your puppy to the vet within 3 days after receiving your puppy may void the guarantee. We understand life happens and sometimes vet appointments cannot occur sooner than 3 days. If this is the case, all we ask is that you communicate with us so we can update your puppy’s information in our system. 
  3. Note: Your puppy will come with up-to-date vaccinations and will be de-wormed, so make sure you do not give an additional vaccine to your puppy within the first ten days unless otherwise instructed by your vet. It is the new owner’s responsibility to continue proper de-worming and monthly exams up to the age of 16 weeks or more as recommended by the vet.
  4. Keep proof of the healthcare and maintenance records or your puppy, including vaccinations and exams in your personal files.
