Health Guarantee
~ Puppies are 1st wormed at 4 weeks of age,
then every two weeks till they are 16 weeks old. They are started on heart wormer at 6 weeks of age. Tails and dew claws
are removed at 3 - 5 days of age by my vet. Puppies are
given an overall vet check and 1st puppy booster at 6 weeks of age by
my vet before placement. They are held 24 - 48 hours before
placement to ensure no allergies or reactions to shots occur. With a
clean bill of health and current vet records, the puppies are then
ready to be placed into your home.
Springers Forever guarantees all puppies 1 year from
their date of birth. This guarantee covers any diseases due to
genetic defects or chronic illnesses (this means a long ongoing
problem, several months, not something over a few weeks time).
This guarantee does not cover viral or bacteria infections after 7
days of receiving your puppy. Springers Forever requires you
to take your new puppy to a veterinarian of your choice within 72 hours
(3 business days) of receiving your puppy and get his or her's
approval as to the overall condition of your puppy. This guarantee
will be null and void if documented and/or verified veterinarian
visits and records are not maintained.
Springers Forever will not be responsible for any
vet bill unless we approve the treatment 1st.
Springers Forever reserves the right to have
the puppy examined by a veterinarian of our choice, at our expense
if, in the rare occurrence, any claims are made against us under the
terms of this contract. You must provide Springers Forever
with any vet records, test results and x-rays that have been done to
date on the puppy in question. This guarantee will be null and
void if your puppy is bred (male or female) before it's first
birthday (12 months of age). Springers Forever is not responsible for the health of any
offspring of this puppy, if you chose to breed him or her.
You understand Springers Forever will not be held
responsible for any of your vet bills after your first 72 hours if
something happens with your puppy. Pet ownership can sometimes
mean unexpected expenses, Springers Forever does all we can to
ensure you a healthy puppy at time of delivery, however puppies are
live beings and need proper vet care and exams until at least 6
months of age, until all puppy vaccines are finished. Then a
minimum of a yearly visit to a vet. You, the buyer,
understands that when a puppy changes homes, this is a very
stressful time. As a result any number of things can happen
due to this stress, such as hair lose, colds much like kennel cough,
loose or runny stools to the point of diarrhea, among other things.
In most cases this is a result of making the change to a new home
and new food, new water, and missing their litter mates and mother.
Springers Forever will not be held responsible for any vet bills
incurred to you due to the purchase of our puppies past our 72
hour required vet check. If for some reason your vet does not
clear your puppy's health, you are required to contact us to return
the puppy within 48 hours of your first vet exam at your expense.
We do our best to ensure you receive a healthy puppy, but stress can
affect puppies and dogs in many ways just as it does in humans.
Please keep this in mind when taking your new puppy to its new home.
It is best not to take it out and about for social visits until it
has been settled into your home. It is not advised by
Springers Forever or our
veterinarians that you take your puppy into any public venues until
it has received all its puppy boosters.
In the rare occurrence that something would happen
to your puppy before the 1 year is up (under the terms of this
contract), we would replace the puppy at no cost to you, with one of
equal value (sex, color, and markings). Your puppy must be returned
to us with the original AKC registration papers when replacement is
given. ~ No returned AKC papers ~ No replacement puppy.
In the rare occurrence of the death of your puppy,
we require an autopsy be performed by a licensed vet at your cost to
determine the exact cause of the death of your puppy. If the death
is due to a genetic defect your puppy will be replaced with one of
equal value (sex, color, markings). The original AKC papers must be
returned before replacement is given. If we were unable to replace
the puppy in a timely fashion (approximately 6 months time is
considered a timely fashion from your date of pick up - due to the
breeding cycles of females) then we would refund the original
purchase price of the puppy only; after the return of all
appropriate documentation (vet records, x-rays, etc...) and the
original AKC papers this will not include any shipping, vet bills,
or other expenses incurred by you, the puppy buyer.
