Your puppy is guaranteed to be healthy at time of pick-up and is guaranteed for one year against genetic defects except teeth/bite. Remember: "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Select your veterinarian today and put your new puppy under his or her care.
-
Buyer must have puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within four business days of receiving puppy. (Please have a veterinarian appointment scheduled prior to picking up your puppy.) If the puppy is found to have a serious condition, Buyer must notify Breeder immediately. Buyer must return the puppy to Breeder at Buyer's expense with vet records. Once Breeder's vet confirms the findings, Breeder will replace the puppy with a similar puppy as one becomes available.
-
Ear mites, worms, and other parasites are not serious health problems if treated. Even though your puppy has been dewormed regularly, please keep in mind that, while very unlikely, your puppy may still have some worms. All puppies are susceptible to having worms. Breeder does not guarantee against coccidia (a common intestinal bacteria) which can also be easily treated.
-
Buyer agrees to follow the vaccination schedule listed on the Health Recommendations page. Buyer also agree to maintain the puppy's health in good condition by providing health examinations annually and as needed, heartworm prevention, good quality nutrition (including giving NuVet Plus and preferably feeding a raw diet as laid out on Health Recommendations page) and any other procedures necessary to assure good health.
-
In the unlikely event of death of the puppy within the first week, Buyer must have followed the vet's suggested course of treatment and Buyer must have a necropsy done by a qualified pathologist and send results to Breeder. If the results show a defect or condition that originated before the puppy left Breeder, Breeder will replace the puppy with a similar puppy when it becomes available. If the death is caused by circumstances that occurred after Buyer received the puppy, Breeder is not liable.
-
FIVE YEAR MVD AND SM GUARANTEE for Cavaliers: In the event of the death of the puppy within five years from its birth due to MVD or SM, Breeder will credit Buyer in full toward another Cavalier puppy. Buyer will have an autopsy performed by a licensed pathologist within 24 hours of death to determine the exact cause of death. Buyer will provide a certified copy of the death certificate, as well as all medical records, to Breeder. If an illness, an accident, nutritional deficiencies, over-vaccination, toxicity, trauma, or neglect is found to play a role in the demise of the Cavalier in any manner or fashion, Buyer agrees this guarantee is null and void.
