Purchase Agreement

Puppies Direct, LLC Purchase and Terms &Use Agreement

1. ALL SALES ARE FINAL – NO RETURNS – PUPPIES ARE SOLD AS IS.  The buyer understands that there are no refunds and no returns. The puppy is in good health and free from any disease at the time of sale as far as can be determined by the seller / veterinarian. Buyer also acknowledges that a safe and suitable home will be provided for the puppy purchased.

The puppy must be taken within 3 days of receiving the puppy to a licensed veterinarian for a wellness physical exam. A required stool analysis (evaluation for internal parasites) is required at the owner’s expense. If the puppy is found to have a parasite such as giardia or coccidian buyer understands that parasites are common in puppies and considered a puppy maintenance condition and Puppies Direct does not cover such ailments. Parasites are relatively inexpensive to treat and simple oral deworming treatments are usually once a day for 3 to 7 days. It is estimated that roughly 80% of all puppies get giardia or coccidia. Deworming though the life of your puppy will be common health maintenance. We suggest that you take your puppy into a licensed vet at least once a year for a wellness exam.

1. If something is wrong with your puppy please call 619-265-6287 IMMEDIATELY! 

If you panic and go to the emergency vet hospital you may assume all costs unless otherwise required by law! Sometimes we can provide a simple at home remedy, which can save you a cost of hundreds (even thousands) in vet bills. Early detection is important in preventing and avoiding situations from going very bad. We strongly discourage Banfield, VCA, and any other emergency vet hospitals due to the fact that most of these type of hospitals are revenue driven corporations.
