That isn't necessarily true. Those vet checks ups don't immediately show everything. When I got my puppymill girl Bijou, I took her for her check up immed. The puppymill breeder had already mentioned the kennel cough and sent some Clavimox with me. She didn't call it kennel cough, just a little cold. According to her papers the pup had been wormed and UTD on shots. Within a week I noticed her stools becoming loser which prompted a fecal exam. It was then found she had worms and coccidia. To make a long story short I am still paying vet bills and treating all her ailments. Do I blame the puppymill? Absolutely. I was not sold a healthy dog by any means. Could all of this been found out during that first vet exam? Nope. Doesn't mean I wasn't ripped off.
I didnt say the vet was going to catch everything immediately. I said most ppl don't do it. My vet told me puppies are very prone to get coccidia and to treat for it anyway. Which I did not know at the time. My point is no one knows if the dog is sick like you said even the vet didn't know so how is the person who sold it going to know?
