I give 72 hours to get the pup vet checked. I'm pretty lenient on it because I understand that people have busy lives. I do want them checked though so that they can compare my vets findings with their own. Introducing the pup to their vet right away helps get everything settled with the pups in their new homes. When I purchase a pup I always get it checked right away whether required to or not. My pups are guaranteed up to one year of age. I haven't shipped any yet so I haven't dealt with that end of it. I guess the reason they were returning the pup would come into consideration when deciding who paid for the shipping. I would never make them ship a sick pup back to me unless they were unable to care for it. Roxie became ill right after I got her and ended up in the hospital. I wouldn't have dreamt of shipping her back, I think it would have killed her. The bowel obstruction was cleared and she's been healthy every since.
