OUR HEALTH GUARANTEE
All our corgis sold come with a health guarantee. Within 10 days of purchasing your new puppy, you must take him/her to a licensed veterinarian for an examination. Suppose the veterinarian determines, within 10 days of purchasing. In that case, that your cat is clinically ill or has died from an injury sustained or illness likely to have been contracted on or before the date of purchasing and delivery, you have the following options:
– Return the cat for a complete refund
– Return the cat for a replacement cat of equal value
– Retain the cat and receive reimbursement for reasonable veterinary fees, not exceeding the adoption price
These options do not apply where a owner, who has provided a health certificate issued by a veterinarian, discloses in writing at the time of sale the health problem for which the adoptee later seeks to return the cat. If, within 30 days of purchasing, a licensed veterinarian determines that your cat has a congenital or hereditary defect which adversely affects the animal’s health or that your cat died from a congenital or hereditary defect, you have the same option as outlined above. You must notify the owner of the examining veterinarian’s name, address & phone number within 2 days of the vet’s certification of your cat’s illness. Failure to notify the owner within 2 business days will result in forfeiture of rights. By purchasing a puppy from us, you agree to the following:
1. The corgi will be taken to the vet promptly. You should make sure that he/she is healthy and doesn’t need a vet’s attention. We request that this initial visit be within 48 hours of the corgi’s arrival. This is to ensure that there aren’t problems that have arisen from shipping, and also so that your veterinarian is familiar with your puppy if a situation arises.
2. We are not responsible for a corgi’s exposure to diseases after they have left our possession. You should be careful where you take your corgi and who handles it as well. The puppy should not be exposed to previously infested disease areas or to places where a high level of exposure to diseases is possible. Treat him/her as if she is a newborn baby.
3. Validation of the guarantee requires examination of your corgi by the vet of your choice and at your expense within 48 hours of its arrival. This examination is expected to confirm that your cat was healthy upon arrival. If the corgi is showing any sign of illness, it should be taken to the vet immediately.
4. Your puppy , if shipped, has been through a vet check and has received a health certificate. He/she has been through at least his first shots and usually a series of shots before he/she has been delivered to you. He has also been de-wormed, but this does not mean that he is free of worms because young animals are especially susceptible to worms, are exposed every time they touch the ground, and worming is an ongoing process that will need to be continued once the corgi is in your care. Your corgi will also need follow up shots. It is very important that you follow up with shots and de-worming.
5. If the corgi has a vet diagnosed, congenital or hereditary defect, that is a life-threatening condition, bring the breeder a vet signed statement of the defect, and it will be replaced with the first available corgi with the same value as soon as possible. The original puppy must be returned before a new corgi can be delivered.
6. The breeder is not responsible for any veterinarian bills that the purchaser may incur regarding the purchased corgi .
7. This guarantee is null and void if the corgi is sold to a third party, and if normal precautions aren’t taken.
8. Especially with smaller breeds of puppy , there is always a chance that stress will cause the corgi’s sugar to drop to dangerous levels. The new owner’s responsibility is to be very observant regarding the corgi’s sugar level and be aware of action that needs to be taken if this condition does occur. The new owner should be cautious to make sure that this condition doesn’t affect the puppy . The breeder cannot be responsible for issues that result from neglect of this condition.
9. The new owner is aware of the past medical history of this corgi and accepts it. The new owner is responsible for obtaining veterinary advice when needed, and for paying for those services. From the time the corgi leaves the possession of the breeder, the purchaser assumes all responsibility of vet bills, and for the care of said corgi . If the corgi dies for any reason, the breeder has the right to demand and order an autopsy on the cat at the purchaser’s expense. Suppose death is the breeder’s fault, which is found as a result of original lab results from a licensed veterinarian. In that case, the corgi will be replaced by the breeder.
10. If a puppy is to be replaced, the breeder will provide a healthy corgi of the same quality as the previous puppy as soon as one is available. The new owner will be responsible for all shipping charges for the first puppy to be returned to the breeder and for the second corgi’s charges to be shipped to them. If the purchaser chooses not to accept a replacement puppy, the health guarantee is null and void.
11. We work closely with our vets to ensure the health of our puppies. They have been administered all of the shots and de-worming that are indicated on our shot records. Our shots are administered by the breeder under the vet recommended immunization program. We will only indicate the shots that your corgi has had. Please be aware that they have had these shots and continue to administer shots as recommended by your veterinarian. Giving too many immunizations and ignoring the immunizations that have been given can also be harmful to your corgi’s health.
