TPAT does not make a guarantee as to the disposition, confirmation, size, color or breeding/show capability of puppy purchased. There are certain disorders that may be caused by environmental factors; therefore, this health guarantee does not include hypoglycemia, worms, parasites, kennel cough, coccidian, immunity level, mites, pneumonia, mange, heatstroke, ringworm, conjunctivitis, fleas, ticks, ear infections, allergies, thyroid dysfunction, and any other common occurrences found in puppies that can be treated. Precautions are taken to avoid these conditions. Worm your puppy regularly with wormer from your vet. Keep your puppy's play area and bedding clean at all times. Hypoglycemia is a serious matter for a young small puppy. For hypoglycemia provide your puppy with frequent small meals and water all through the day.
TPAT is not and cannot be responsible for undesirable traits the dog accrues once it is transferred to the Buyer(s). The dog is warrantied only for the purpose of being a companion animal. While it may be capable of performing other functions, no warranty is given as to its fitness for any special purpose.
If at any time, there is demonstrable neglect, abuse or illegal activity involving this canine, the said canine is subject to immediate forfeiture to TPAT.
In the event of breach of this agreement, the Buyer(s) agrees to pay all expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, and expenses as may be allowed by law and incurred by the seller in enforcing his/her rights under this security agreement. The dog may be subject to forfeit if the Buyer(s) does not fulfill his/her obligations.
Spay/Neuter: Although this is recommended, TPAT cannot be liable for any complications occurred from this elective surgery.
Your new puppy has been eating CANIDAE® All Life Stage (dry formula). Please continue to feed this to avoid diarrhea. Although we highly recommend this high quality food, if you chose to change your pet’s diet, please do this gradually by mixing the two 50/50, gradually fazing out one. If your puppy doesn't eat, vomits or has diarrhea or appears to be weak within the first 24-48 hours of being in its new home, please notify your vet IMMEDIATELY- Please DON’T WAIT. Puppies can dehydrate very rapidly and your puppy’s life may depend on your quick response.
While this puppy is small, make sure he/she has food and water three (3) times a day. If not eating, try mixing can food or chicken style baby food with the dry. Water should be offered more often, ESPECIALLY in the warm months of the year. Remember, he/she is small and can dehydrate very fast. Above all, allow your puppy lots of time to rest. Don't over exert your new puppy.
If you vaccinate your puppy outside of the schedule you have been advised, this health guarantee is VOID. Regardless of what your vet recommends, over-vaccination can cause death! TPAT assures you that we care about our puppies and really do give them the protection they need to go out into the world!! Vaccines should be no less than two (20 weeks apart! Not completing your puppy's vaccinations is cause for this health guarantee to be VOID! Being a responsible pet owner means vaccinating your puppy.
As the Seller, TPAT agrees to the following:
A. TPAT will provide Buyer(s) with a registration application ("puppy papers") to register the puppy with the American Kennel Club at the time of purchase. In the rare instance that the puppy papers are not available at the time of purchase, Seller will provide Buyer(s) with complete documentation to indicate that the litter registration application is being processed by the registering club. The registration papers will be mailed to Buyer(s) as soon as they're received.
B. TPAT will provide a vaccination record and veterinary examination record of the purchased puppy/dog. Please provide this information on your first vet visit. Please be prepared to follow your vet’s advice on scheduled vaccines, wormings & heart worm preventative. If the puppy/dog is due for vaccinations, and the Buyer(s) fails to provide vaccinations on that day, this guarantee is null and void if the puppy contracts diseases that would otherwise be prevented by those vaccinations.
C. TPAT may cancel the sale prior to Buyer(s) taking possession of the puppy in the event that Buyer(s) listed false or misleading information. In this situation, Buyer(s) should not expect to receive a deposit refund.
D. TPAT guarantees the above-described puppy to be healthy at the time of the sale. TPAT does not assume any liability for any injury to said puppy after time of sale and in the hands of the Buyer(s). If there is a problem with the puppy, TPAT’s veterinarian and Buyer(s) veterinarian must agree that health reasons existed before time of purchase, provided the puppy has been properly cared for in Buyer(s) possession.
