HEALTH GUARANTEE
A Health Guarantee is important because it holds your breeder accountable for any congenital issues that may occur in your dog during their early stages of life. Pitter Patter Puppies is committed to ethically and responsibly breeding dogs who have healthy parents. This not only helps reduce the likelihood of your new puppy developing hereditary issues, but a health guarantee also ensures that should issues appear, Pitter Patter Puppies will bear the responsibility for the death of your dog. A health guarantee protects you, the dog owner, and holds our program to a higher standard of breeding.
The health of our puppies is of the upmost importance in how we operate our Breeding Program. All Pitter Patter Parents are health tested through Embark, and OFA tested by a licensed veterinarian.
DISCLAIMER: No breeder can state that any given Puppy will be completely free of a genetic defect. Pitter Patter Puppies screens the background of all prospective Male and Female Dogs used in the breeding program to reduce the odds of whelping a genetically inferior or defective Puppy.
Following the conduct of the wellness check, and until Puppy reaches 24 months of age, if Puppy is found to have an inherited health defect that prevents Puppy from participating in normal daily activities, or takes the life of the Puppy, Seller will offer a replacement Puppy from a future litter at the Seller’s earliest convenience. Buyer must provide, from a licensed Veterinarian, a written description of the defect, a description of the degree of physical impairment and a copy of the initial wellness check must accompany any request for replacement of Puppy. Seller reserves the right, at Seller’s expense, to have Puppy examined by a Veterinarian of Seller’s choosing. In the event that opinions of Buyer’s and Seller’s Veterinarians differ, Buyer agrees that the final determination of the validity of any claim will be made by a Veterinarian selected by mutual agreement of the Veterinarians who provided opinions to Buyer and Seller. The cost of the deciding opinion will be paid equally by Buyer and Seller. This guarantee does not include viral illnesses, bacterial illnesses, acquired illness, vaccinosis, allergies, bites, infections, hernias, luxating patellas, hypoglycemia, Guardia, Coccidosis, indigestion of foreign objects, ingestion of food or chemicals, or physical injury contracted or incurred following Buyer’s receipt of Puppy.
We can not assume responsibility for this puppy after 84 hours of the sale. It is the responsibility of the buyer to care for the puppy properly and keep it free from harm. Please remember that your Puppy must be treated with great care and protected from danger. Pitter Patter Puppies assumes no responsibility for any medical expenses that occur after the sale.
DISCLAIMER: Our program does not guarantee size. We can give the buyer an educated guess as to full grown weight, but there are too many variables besides genetics.
