Congratulations on the purchase of your new puppy! A puppy is an adventure and a job all wrapped up in one bouncing, licking, loving package. We highly recommend that you read as much as you can about raising puppies, and specifically about the breed you have chosen. Informed owners always make better owners! We recommend www.siriuspup.com as one of many great sites on the subject of raising puppies.

Your new puppy has been raised with great care and love. We do our best to raise healthy, socialized puppies. We guarantee the health of your puppy against any GENETIC DEFECT for 1 year from the purchase date of the puppy. This includes only genetically caused problems in the puppy. If a genetic defect is found, the puppy may be returned with a written statement from the veterinarian and the purchase price of the puppy will be refunded, or you may choose a different puppy to replace the one you are returning. We cannot be held responsible for any vet expenses that may occur from any genetic complication if you choose to keep the puppy and seek veterinary treatments. We have never had anyone return a puppy for any genetic complication.

We cannot guarantee against, or be responsible for any expenses incurred from, Parasites in your puppy. Parasites are very common in puppies and may include various types of worms, coccidia, or giardia. Although we do our very best to prevent these Parasites, the puppy may require additional treatments to deal with these, because of the different life cycles of these parasites. We recommend that you take a stool sample to your vet and have it screened to determine whether additional treatment is necessary. Your puppy has received his/her 1^st set of shots and has been wormed for Roundworm.

We highly recommend that you take your new puppy to the vet within 72 hours (3 days) of purchasing him/her. The vet should perform a full well-puppy exam to verify the health of the puppy and screen the stool sample. A shot/worming record will be given to you when you take your puppy home. Be sure to keep it updated with any new information that should be added.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP YOUR PUPPY AWAY FROM ANY PUBLIC LOCATION (PARKS, MALL, PETSTORES, PUBLIC WALKWAYS, FRONT YARD, ETC…) until he/she has received ALL of the recommended immunizations. A puppy is not fully protected against Parvo and/or other diseases until he/she has received ALL of his/her shots. Your vet will be able to inform you when this process is completed. This is for the protection of your new puppy.

Going to a new home is very stressful on a puppy. You will want to watch the puppy’s stool carefully the first few days that you bring him home. A normal stool looks like a little log, but puppies can have somewhat loose stools that look very soft. If you see blood in the stool or yellow gel colored stool, I would advise taking a sample to your vet. Your puppy should eat, drink, and go potty several times each day, with lots of playing and sleep in between. This is normal behavior for your puppy. Any lethargic behavior, loss of appetite, or failure to eliminate should be warning signs and you should take your puppy to the vet immediately. This is just to help you be informed if you see something that doesn’t seem quite right.

We feed Nutro Max Puppy, and you have been give a sample of the food. Continue to feed this food until it is gone. If you choose to switch food brands, please do it gradually, following this transitional guideline:

Days 1 & 2-- 70% old food, 30% new food. Days 3 & 4--50% old, 50% new. Days 5 & 6 30% old, 70% new. By Day 7, you can have him on a completely new food. This should help his digestive system not be overwhelmed with a new food. A sudden change in food can cause diarrhea in a puppy.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have about your new puppy. We are here to help you through his growing up months. Our website is www.silverpawkennels.com.

I have read and understand this puppy sale agreement.
