Also a Vet Check with health certificate on a replacement puppy as has been offered, all I can say is shouldnt that be done with any dog or puppy before it goes to a new home?
I started taking any new litter I have to my vet at about 6 weeks of age solely for a vet check and before I take any deposits from anyone wanting a puppy. I don't want a new owner to be looking forward to a puppy they have seen either in person or in pictures only to tell them later puppy has a health issue that my Vet could have warned me about ahead of time that could prevent it going to a new home. Then at 10 weeks I take them back for a vet check again and first vaccinations. |
I do this also...newborn health check at 36-72 hours old, again at 4 weeks old, andagain at 10 weeks old. Each baby is again given a clean bill of health within 24-36 hours before the baby is picked up by new owner. There is NO excuse for a puppy to be sent to a new owner, sick. The price you charge for your babies should guarantee that.
