Contagious/Infectious, Hereditary Disease Guarantee

This guarantee is per the Florida Puppy Lemon Law which states the following:

Buyer agrees to take their puppy to a veterinarian within 72 hours of puppy leaving Seller. This veterinarian appointment must include an overall health exam and fecal exam. If the puppy is purchased or arrives to you on a holiday or weekend, then the puppy must be taken to a licensed veterinarian on the following working day. If your regular veterinarian is not available, you are required to take the puppy to another veterinarian. Failure to have this exam on file will cause this guarantee to be null and void.

NOTE: We treat for internal parasites when the puppies are 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks old and sometimes worming medication does not eradicate them all. We do not cover for any parasites. Be sure to take a fecal sample with you to your first veterinarian visit to check for parasites.

Tick Disclosure

The dog has received a health certificate from a veterinarian, who found the dog to be free of ticks at that time. Please be aware, however, that we have a three-and-one-half acre property, and Florida has a tick problem. The dog could have picked up additional ticks between the time of the veterinarian's inspection and the dog's sale to you. Please inspect your dog carefully for ticks during the days after you receive your dog. You have been provided a tick kit which includes items to help you rid the puppy of any ticks if any are found. You agree that you have been made fully aware you may have ticks on your puppy and that I have provided you full explanation of how to use the products in the tick kit.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I have read, understand and agree to abide by the terms listed above.
