Vets are just like doctors for humans. They all make mistakes, they all have different ways of doing things, and they all charge differently. However, redoing the shots can be dangerous so as soon as I would have heard that I would have gone to a different vet for a different opinion.
I have a friend that is adopting a daughter from China. I have another friend that already did. The second friend's daughter almost died the day of adoption. The China government offered them a different child. They took their original baby home with them. Child is now growing fat and healthy! However, if things worked out differently (and thank God they didn't), if the baby ended up needing serious hospitalization or ended up dying, do you think my friend would have been able to get a refund from the adoption agency? No. I look at adopting a dog or cat the same way. You are adopting them in to the family. Therefore treat them like family. Yes, I like the 10 day refund clause most contracts have. I agree they should be included. But the breeder's generosity should not be taken advantage of.
God forbid anything happen to my Matthias. But if something did arise, I would not ask for a refund or blame the breeder. These things happen. I adopted my boy and promised to care for him. So I will. Regardless of cost. The day I adopted him is the day he became my responsibility. |
