Puppy Health Guarantee

Sales Agreement & Health Guarantee — Puppies of Indiana

It is hereby agreed by both parties that the following conditions will be met, and that no other warranties or conditions are expressed or implied.

Your Sales Agreement

Every Puppies of Indiana adoption includes a written Sales Agreement. Your agreement records the following details:

7-Day Veterinary Health Guarantee

The Buyer has a health guarantee extending 7 days in which to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian, and is urged to do so. If the veterinarian discovers anything wrong with the puppy, he must provide a letter stating the date of the exam and a complete diagnosis. The puppy will be exchanged for another of equal value from the next available litter. Any shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer. It is further agreed that no money is to be refunded at the time, and that all expenses incurred are the buyer's responsibility. Buyers are also aware that we will at no time pay veterinarian services. This contract shall also become null if the puppy is given any vaccinations within the first 5 days of arrival.

One-Year Replacement Guarantee

We agree to replace the puppy until it reaches 1 year of age if any of the following circumstances occur and all of the conditions of this agreement are met.

In the event of sudden death of a puppy due to congenital heart failure, or if the puppy is diagnosed with hip dysplasia that makes the puppy unsuitable as a companion, the purchaser must notify the breeder within 30 days and provide the veterinarian with the autopsy report or x-rays. If the above condition has been diagnosed, the purchaser must also provide the breeder with a pelvic radiograph and a statement verifying the diagnosis by the examining veterinarian.

Buyer's Responsibilities

The buyer is responsible for the care of the puppy. This includes, but is not limited to, maintaining the puppy on a proper diet and at a weight sensible for its size, age, and breed. The buyer must provide regular and proper care, including annual vaccinations, heartworm preventive, and light exercise for any and all large-breed puppies. No replacement will be given if the registration application from the company does not accompany the original puppy back to the breeder.

The new owner is also responsible for the transportation cost to and from the breeder for puppy replacement. This guarantee is only valid if all of the above conditions are met, and is void when the puppy reaches one year of age. Any dispute that may arise out of a claim must be filed in Washington, Indiana.
