Your Health Guarantee
This agreement is made for the protection of BOTH the buyer and seller and to guarantee that you received a healthy puppy upon purchase. All Scarlets' Fancy and AFlame Red Poodle pupppies have been health checked by a licensed veterinarian before they are offered for sale. This health statement describes the health of each puppy and is part of the purchase package.
SELLER AND BUYER BOTH UNDERSTAND AND AGREE on the conditions and requirements of this agreement. The purchase of a puppy from seller by buyer, verifies that buyer understands and agrees to the conditions and requirements of this Health Guarantee.
*To activate your Health Guarantee, you must take your puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours of the time the puppy is in your possession, for a "well-puppy check". You should take a stool sample from your new puppy to the well-puppy visit. Sundays and holidays will not be counted.
*Should within one year your puppy be diagnosed with a life threatening problem such as heart, kidney or liver disorder, the puppy can be returned to seller with a 100% refund of the purchase price and the cost of shipping.
The puppy must be diagnosed by 2 different Veterinarians at different practices. Each Vet must write a statement that the illness was not due to the Owner to keep the puppy safe from hazards to its health.
*Should the puppy die within the first 72 hours after purchase, buyer must have an autopsy performed by a licensed veterinarian to determine the cause of death. A copy of the autopsy report written on the licensed veterinarian's letterhead must be forwarded to the seller before determining if a refund will be provided. Buyer understands and agrees that if the puppy is returned or has died, that seller will have the right to speak to the licensed veterinarian who completed the report for any further information that may be necessary to make the determination whether the buyer will be a refunded. The reason for an autopsy would be to rule out that the cause of death was due to buyer negligence to keep the puppy safe from hazards to its health or ineffective parenting of the puppy i.e. properly fed, watered, sheltered from cold or heat.
*If puppy or dog is purchased for the purpose of breeding, no guarantee is made as to the breeding potential of puppy or dog.
To return your puppy you must:
*Return your new puppy to the Seller within 84 hours of the time of possession of the puppy by the buyer. Along with the puppy, buyer must provide a signed statement from 2 licensed Veterinarians at different practices, on the veterinarian's letterhead showing the date and time puppy was given the examination, and why he/she believed the puppy had a life threatening health problem before buyer received the puppy. Buyer understands at time of purchase that if they should return the puppy that seller that right to contact the veterinarians (before the puppy is returned) that issued the reports for further verbal verification before determining if a refund will be issued.
*If buyer chooses to keep the puppy, regardless of any health issue, seller will not issue a refund for cost of puppy including veterinarian expenses or airfare.
*If another puppy is available, the buyer can choose to replace the returned puppy with the one the buyer chooses. If buyer chooses a replacement puppy that has a value for more or less than the original puppy's purchase price, then the seller or the buyer will make up the difference in cost before the replacement puppy is picked up or shipped. Refer to payment methods page.
Items not covered by your Health Guarantee:
*Parasites or Worms: including Giardia and Coccidia, which are common in puppies. All puppies are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. All canines should be on a maintenance schedule to control worms specific to the area that the puppy now resides in. We recommend Heartguard, which controls all worms that may be harmful to dogs.
*Hypoglycemia: Is sometimes seen in very small puppies and it is 100% preventable, information on low blood sugar will be included in the puppy's Bill of Sale.
*Non-life threatening health issues.
Bringing a new puppy into your home is a lifetime commitment. We wish loving and stable homes for all our puppies. If you are not sure you want a new puppy, or have the time to train a new puppy, please do not purchase from us.
