Health of your Puppy
Before going home with you, your puppy will have had a full physical exam and be cleared of all parasites by our veterinarians at Brentwood Vet Hospital. Your puppy will also have all age appropriate vaccinations. Our contract will require you to also have your puppy examined by your veterinarian, within 72 hours from the time of pick up, to have a full physical exam and fecal exam. This will help thoroughly establish that you have adopted a healthy puppy. Your pups initial exam will help you establish a relationship with your new veterinarian as well as get your puppy started on preventive care products such as heartworm and flea/tick preventative medications. If your puppy is proven to be anything but healthy at your first 72 hour vet exam, we will be happy to take the puppy back and offer you a full refund of the purchase price. We will make every effort to work towards a healthy and happy outcome for you and your pup. Shipping or Delivery Charges will not be refunded.
Spay and Neutering
Our contract requires you to have your puppy Spayed or Neutered between the ages of 4-6 months old. Verification of this must be mailed to us by the time your puppy is 7 months old.
Shipping
Shipping your puppy will cost you approximately $300-$400. This includes Airfare, Crate, Required Heath Certificate, and Travel Expenses to the airport. Shipping arrangements are made one week in advance, once your puppy is paid for in full. A folder will be attached to your puppy's crate and will include your puppy's health record, a copy of the contract, and basic puppy care information. Also attached to the crate will be a small bag of food that your puppy is used to eating.
For Southern California Residents, partial delivery options are available ranging from $250-$300
When picking up your puppy from the airport, please be sure to have water on hand and clean bedding for the crate. Also remember to have your Confirmation Number and Drivers license. DO NOT let your puppy run around anywhere at the airport or cargo area. Hundreds of puppies are shipped through the airlines on a regular basis. This makes it a very high risk area where your puppy can catch infectious viruses such as Parvo Virus and Kennel Cough. We are not responsible for viruses or parasites the puppy may contract during the shipping process.
We request that you send us an e-mail as soon as you return home from the airport so we know that your puppy has arrived safely.
