🩺 Health Guarantee

At HealthySmallBreedPuppies.com, the health and well-being of our small breed puppies is our highest priority. We follow structured breeding practices, maintain veterinary oversight, and ensure each puppy begins life strong and well cared for.

This Health Guarantee outlines our commitment and the responsibilities of the buyer.

1. Veterinary Examination Before Placement

Every puppy:

• Is examined by a licensed veterinarian prior to placement
• Receives age-appropriate vaccinations
• Is dewormed according to veterinary protocol
• Is provided with health documentation at time of transfer

We guarantee that your puppy is in good health at the time of delivery or pickup.

2. 72-Hour Veterinary Examination Requirement

Buyer agrees to have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of transfer.

If a licensed veterinarian determines that the puppy has a serious health condition present prior to transfer, the buyer must:

1. Notify us immediately
2. Provide written veterinary documentation
3. Allow us to consult with the examining veterinarian

Failure to have the puppy examined within 72 hours voids this portion of the guarantee.

3. Congenital & Genetic Health Guarantee

We provide a 12-month limited guarantee against life-threatening congenital or hereditary conditions that significantly affect the puppy’s quality of life.

If within 12 months a licensed veterinarian diagnoses a severe congenital condition that:

• Was present at birth, AND
• Is life-threatening or seriously debilitating,

Buyer must provide:

• Written veterinary diagnosis
• Supporting medical documentation
• Confirmation from a second licensed veterinarian (if requested)

If verified, we may offer:

• A replacement puppy (when available), OR
• A partial refund up to the original purchase price

The puppy may need to be returned if replacement is chosen.

4. What Is Not Covered

This guarantee does NOT cover:

• Minor or correctable conditions
• Parasites after transfer
• Hypoglycemia due to improper feeding
• Injuries after pickup
• Illness caused by neglect or environmental exposure
• Stress-related issues due to travel
• Allergies
• Cosmetic or breed-standard variations
• Size or weight estimates
• Temperament changes

Veterinary expenses are not automatically reimbursed unless approved in writing.

5. Buyer Responsibilities

To maintain this health guarantee, the buyer must:

• Provide proper nutrition
• Maintain routine veterinary care
• Keep vaccination schedule current
• Provide safe housing
• Avoid exposing puppy to high-risk environments before vaccinations are complete

Failure to provide proper care voids the guarantee.

6. No Guarantee of Adult Size or Temperament

We do not guarantee:

• Exact adult weight
• Coat color changes
• Ear positioning
• Temperament development
• Show or breeding suitability

All puppies develop uniquely.

7. Transfer of Responsibility

Once the puppy is delivered or picked up, the buyer assumes full responsibility for:

• Veterinary care
• Training
• Socialization
• Safety

Our liability is limited to the original purchase price of the puppy.

8. Our Commitment

We are committed to responsible breeding practices, veterinary oversight, and ethical placement. While no breeder can guarantee a puppy will never develop health concerns, we take every reasonable step to minimize risk and ensure a healthy start.
