Health Guarantee

The Breeder guarantees that the puppy is to be of sound health at the time of the sale. The said puppy has been physically examined by a licenced veterinarian prior delivery/pick up. The Breeder will provide a health record of all vaccinations and worming. The Buyer agrees to take the puppy to a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 3 business days for a physical exam. Failure to have the puppy examined by a vet within 3 days of the date the puppy is delivered/picked up or if the Buyer fails to provide required immunizations and medical treatment will be void this health guarantee. Dehydration, Diarrhea, Hypoglycemia , Coccidia, Canine Herpes Virus, Kennel cough, Dry eye, Internal and external parasites, Giardia, Fungal infections, or any condition that can be corrected by veterinarian treatment and any other preventable conditions are not covered. 

We provide a six one (1) year, from dogs birth date guarantee for life – threatening health issues. Illnesses must be documented in writing by a licensed vet within 74 business hours. The Breeder must be made informed of the examination that indicates that at the time of sale, such animal was unfit for purchase due to life threatening illness, disease, or congenital defect with proper documentation by a licensed vet. If the puppy was in fact unfit for purchase the Buyer may return the puppy to us for an exchange of equal value. The failure do this within 48 hours will result in the cancellation of a replacement puppy. The Breeder will offer a replacement puppy of comparable value and no money will be refunded. This is subject to availability. 

Conditions not considered life threatening and therefore not covered include but not limited to luxating patella, hernias of any kind, collapsed trachea etc. If the condition can be treated, it is NOT considered life threatening. In the event of a life threatening condition the affected puppy must be returned with all registration and veterinary documentation at buyer’s expense. The buyer understands that a replacement puppy will only be given if it’s discovered to be a Genetic or hereditary problem and not due to accident or illness. 

The Breeder guarantees the puppy against fatal viruses for 24 hours. These include Distemper, Parvo, and Corona. It does not include Coccidia, Giardia, Herpes Virus and Kennel Cough (which is self – limiting and must run its course with antibiotic treatment and is not life threatening).

Potential risks of Vaccinations, Dog Food, Pesticides, Aerosols, Fungus’s, etc. all are Environmental triggers to avoid with your puppy. Because of these unknown environmental exposures Breeder cannot be responsible for Sarcomas, Tumors, Autoimmune Disorders, Thyroid Disease, Stomach issues, Allergies and Seizures. Vaccine related Allergy and Seizure issues that result in itching or seizures can occur up to two months after administered vaccine. Breeder cannot be held liable for any of these conditions as they can be caused by unknown environmental triggers out of the Breeder’s control. It’s the opinion of most holistic veterinarians that the vast majority of immune-mediated diseases, including IMT, are triggered or exacerbated by vaccines, particularly bactrians (vaccines against bacterial organisms, such as the leptospirosis and lyme vaccines), as well as killed vaccines (rabies vaccine). Sometimes it’s a vaccine alone that triggers immune disease in a pet. More often, it’s vaccinations coupled with other medications, environmental toxins, poor quality diet, and other lifestyle stressors. The strength and balance of every animal’s immune system is different, so there’s no way to predict – unless your dog has had a reaction in the past — how much danger your pet is in from exposure to the modified virus contained in any given vaccine or the many toxic ingredients it also contains. That’s why we strongly encourage pet owners to avoid all unnecessary vaccines and re-vaccinations after the core vaccinations are given. Your Veterinarian can do a simple blood test yearly to determine your dog’s immunity instead of just vaccinating every year blindly. Your PUPPY needs all the core puppy vaccines and boosters. 

Buyer agrees to not allow Veterinarian to administer any vaccine if the puppy/dog’s system is under duress from other physical health issues including but not limited to; parasites in the intestinal system, injury or illness. Buyer agrees to not have the rabies vaccine administered at the same time as any other vaccine, but to allow a minimum of three weeks from the last vaccine date before having rabies vaccine administered to puppy.

Buyer agrees the puppy is not being purchased for resale, will never be sold to a pet shop or puppy mill, and will never be used for scientific research. 

Nath Lagotto Ranch are sold on a strict Non-Breeding contract. Buyer agrees to spay or neuter this dog by 7 to 9 months of age unless other arrangements have been made with the Breeder.
