We guarantee your puppy will arrive disease free. Our veterinarian completes an exam at 8 weeks of age and issues a Florida Health Certificate showing vaccinations received and results of assessment.

Buyer must have their Veterinarian examine the puppy within 72 hours upon receipt of the puppy in order to maintain this guarantee.

The puppy must remain in a protected environment until 14 days after the puppy’s third/final set of inoculations, or this guarantee is void. You should not take your puppy out on a leash in a public places, dog parks, pet stores, community parks, rest stops, etc or around unvaccinated dogs due to risks of disease exposure, such as life-threatening parvo. Household members should avoid visiting places where dogs frequent during this time as well. Remember “All four off the floor” in public areas until fully vaccinated including your veterinarian office.

Stress from travel and/or a new environment, or abrupt change in diet, can often cause the puppy to have diarrhea or upset tummy. Pups leave Lea Acres with firm, normal stools so Please contact us if this becomes a problem. Costs of minor ailments due to puppy stress are not covered by this guarantee. Illness contracted either during travel or after the puppy is in your home is not covered by this guarantee.

We guarantee the genetic health of your puppy.

We guarantee the puppy is free of any inheritable disease that causes death or serious impairment of vital functions until 24 months of age. If such an inheritable disease is documented by a licensed veterinarian and presented to seller with sufficient supporting evidence as determined by seller (seller has option of second veterinarian opinion, exam or testing), buyer will be entitled to replacement puppy from next suitable litter. The seller will either re-home the puppy or the family may choose to keep the puppy.
