Guarantee: This puppy is guaranteed to be in good health, and free from any life threatening genetic defects to the best of the seller’s knowledge. If he/she wishes, the buyer has 72 hours, from the time of pick up, to have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinarian. IF THERE IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBEM THAT CANNOT BE RECTIFIED you may return the puppy to us, at your expense, on the day following this vet exam, along with the veterinarian’s statement indicating the life threatening problem. You will then receive a full refund of the purchase price. (Exclusion: This does not include the presence of parasites and also does not apply to a health problem resulting from injury or accident due to buyer’s negligence) Viral or bacterial infections such as Coccidia and Giardia are easily treated and very common in puppies. These are not covered in the health guarantee as puppies are naturally at risk for them. They can be picked up in transit or due to stress when going into a new home but are nothing serious and are easily taken care of should they occur. Umbilical hernias, otherwise knows as “outie belly buttons” are also not covered in the health guarantee. These are also easily rectified during your pup’s recommended spay or neuter. Breeder accepts no liability for communicable disease (such as parvo) 24 hours after puppy leaves the possession of the breeder.
*** LIFETIME Free Puppy Replacement guarantee. Because we believe so strongly that good nutrition plays a critical role in the overall health of an animal, we are offering a “Lifetime Free Replacement Puppy Guarantee.” Should you choose this, the lifetime guarantee stipulates the puppy must be fed PawTree dog food for his/her entire lifetime from the Stellar Aussie rep site or links provided to you. The reason we have chosen to offer this option is because so many dogs and cats are acquiring serious, life threatening health issues due to poor diet and vitamin deficiency. We believe that these products provide optimum nutritional benefits, ensuring good health and longevity for your dog, which is why we are willing to stand behind this guarantee. If your Stellar Aussie does not reach a life expectancy of at least 10 years, you will be eligible to receive a free replacement puppy of equal value.
