The estimate for the surgery is $3,500 (including neutering, an undescended testical, and four baby teeth extractions). I paid $1,000 plus shipping for the puppy. The health guarantee says I can return the dog and get a refund. I don't want to return the dog, what will she do, put him down? The surgery costs more than 3 times the price of the dog, and I think some sort of reimbursement is in order. I can't believe this has happened. I love this dog and want to provide him the surgery he needs to live, but I don't have the money. Am I being unreasonable? |
I am very tired tonight and need to get some sleep but decided to check out just what is being said. I just sent you an email explaining that I have not ignored your emails, I simply haven't been on the computer for several days becuase of work deadlines. When you called me tonight I was at work and didn't get the message until after 11:30 pm and figured you would be in bed. To set the record straight, the health guarantee states "(1) Keep the pup, & receive another puppy of equal value (2) Return the pup for another pup of equal value...............No cash refunds will be given, options for replacing puppy are stated above." I might add that this little guy is the first ever of our pups to have liver shunts. And, yorkies are 1200 times more likely to be born with or develop livers shunts than any other breed. But that fact is beside the point. Just to set the record straight, I WOULD NOT put the pup down if he was returned so don't even suggest that might happen. Now I am going to respond to some other posts.
