Health Guarantee
To the best of our knowledge this dog is in good health and Livalittle
Labradors will guarantee our dogs for 2 years from the date of birth against
life threatening genetic defects and hip or elbow dyplasia. This details the
terms and conditions for this guarantee.
Livalittle Labradors cannot guarantee adult size, conformation, color, or
temperament.
As stated on the puppy release form, the buyer will take the puppy covered by
this guarantee to a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours (3 business days)
from date of delivery of the dog. Failure to have the puppy evaluated by a
licensed veterinarian within 72 hours (3 business days) shall void any and all
health guarantees. Buyer(s) understands that any and all veterinary costs will
be the sole responsibility of the buyer(s).
Buyer is responsible for providing necessary vaccinations and proper health
care for the life of this puppy. Yearly checkups and booster vaccinations are
required.
Guarantee only applies to the original buyer named on the first page of the
puppy release form. The buyer(s) agrees that this puppy must be under the
regular care of a licensed veterinarian.
All puppies are sold as pet quality and are to be spayed or neutered by 12
months of age.
Buyer(s) agrees to feed this puppy only quality brands of dog food such as
Nutro, Eukanuba, or Costco’s Kirkland brand. Foods bought from the grocery
stores, Wal-mart, and Target are full of fillers and not a healthy diet for your
puppy. Many of these non quality foods can cause health problems and
feeding these types of foods to your puppy will cancel the health guarantee.
Should this puppy die from a genetic defect or should this puppy develop a
life threatening genetic defect within the 2 year health guarantee period
Livalittle Labradors will replace the dog with another puppy of the same
sex and value as soon as one becomes available. No cash refund will be
made. Breeder will not be held responsible for any veterinary bills incurred.
For the above to be enforceable, a written statement from the buyer’s licensed
veterinarian must be provided to seller stating the exact cause of death or
specific defect. In the event that there is question about the defect, a second
opinion from a licensed veterinarian of seller’s choice will be the determining
opinion. We will not under any circumstances replace a dog that has passed
away or been "put to sleep" if we have not been informed that the dog was
sick or if we had not given permission to have the dog put to sleep.
Hip Dysplasia Gurantee

being dysplastic this is the procedure to be followed:

growth period, Which includes running with or jumping the dogs excessively.
Livalittle Labradors does not guarantee any dog against injuries or
illnesses caused by the neglect or abuse by the buyer(s). We also advise the
buyer(s) to keep this puppy at home away from all outside areas and other
animals until the puppy has received its full vaccinations (16-20 weeks ) We will not be held responsible for sick puppies due to
contagious illness or the coccidia or giardia parasites (as these are common
parasites and easily passed from dog to dog, human to dog , and VERY easily
treated)
