This is not an official and binding document. You will
require to sign an official agreement at the time of
purchase.
Overview :
Please note that most of puppies that we sell are imported
from Europe. Europe has a very low incident of deadly
viruses such as Parvo, Corono and Distemper or even
Rabies. However, once a puppy or kitten acquires one of
these diseases, they may be lethal. We ensure that all our
animals would be given initial vaccinations appropriate
for their age at source in Europe. Upon arrival in UAE, it
is our strict protocol not to bring the pets to shop for
sale for a minimum of 7 days. They will stay at our home
during this time so they may be observed for any
underlying health issues, acclimatize to the new
conditions, new diet and go for a vet check up and receive
any pending vaccinations sufficient to allow a pet to be
sold to a prospective buyer. At times, based on
consultations with our vets, we may repeat some
vaccinations as a matter of taking extra precaution and to
provide boosted immunity against the above noted diseases.
We take care of any underlying health issues and the
animal is most likely to be free from any major health
issues. However, we admit that certain health issues can
go unnoticed unintentionally and even with our utmost
vigilance.
At the time of purchase, you as a customer, have the right
to observe the animal ( playful, eating, good stool, clear
nose etc. and normal body temperature etc. ) before
purchasing. In addition, you will be given 48 hours to get
the animal checked by any vet of your choice ( at your own
expense ) to ensure that the pet ‘s health is to your
entire satisfaction.
What IS COVERED by our warranty ?
Our health warranty offers Full Money back guarantee in
the highly unlikely event of
THIRTY ( 30 days warranty ) Death of an animal (
within 30 days ) resulting from any lethal decease that
can be prevented by available vaccines. For example, if
an animal purchased from us dies due to any known virus
such as Parvo/Distemper/Corona etc. we will simply
refund the price paid for the animal or if customer may
agree, replace the pet. Although, we understand that
these are live animals and replacement of a pet somewhat
may not be acceptable.
THIRTY ( 30 days warranty ) Death of an animal (
within 30 days ) resulting from any life threatening
/ untreatable health problem that may have
pre-existed before purchase of the animal and
wherein a vet’s report clearly suggests that animal was
suffering from this type of health problem before the
pet left our premises and went home with the buyer. We
may request for a post mortem report from a recognized
vet lab in Dubai in case any claims are made on these
basis. Please note that due to our observation period of
7-15 days, it is highly unlikely that a pet may be
detected with a pre-existing health condition that would
go unnoticed for 7-15 days without pet showing any
symptoms.
THREE ( 3 days warranty ) Special clause about
Pneumonia in puppies or kittens : Based on our research
and consultations, we have decided to cover such
condition only for 3 days after purchase as this is an
environmental problem and pet can get this infection at
any given time, anywhere, even while accidentally
inhaling food or liquid particles into his/her lungs or
in case of force feeding. As such, after it leaves our
premises, It is your responsibility to get the animal
checked for pneumonia within 3 days from the time of
purchase.
What is NOT COVERED by our 30
days warranty ?
Minor problems : Such as kennel cough, allergies, skin
problems, mites, bacterial infections, protozoa
infections, minor respiratory infections or any such
treatable problems which are not life threatening if
diagnosed and treated in time.
We do not cover any vet bills or any relevant expenses
that you may incur while choosing to get the animal
checked by a vet of your choice.
We do not cover any vet bills in case the animal is
diagnosed to have a minor or major problem and wherein
you choose to get it treated by any vet without our
consent or without consulting with us first. Repeat, you
cannot claim any amount paid to your vet under any
circumstances from us.
Any genetic health problems associated with certain
breeds such as cherry eye, skin problems, runny eyes,
breathing difficulties etc. Please consult with us
before buying a particular breed and we will suggest you
to buy pet insurance for such dogs. In general we
recommend that all customers should consider buying pet
insurance as early as possible for any pet. You may
discuss this matter with us in person at the time of
purchase of a pet from us.
What should I do if the animal is
diagnosed with a health problem ?
Minor problems : Such as kennel cough, allergies,
skin problems, mites, bacterial infections, protozoa
infections, minor respiratory infections or any such
treatable problems which are not life threatening if
diagnosed and treated in time, you
will have following options :
If you feel that you do not wish to treat the
health problem and that it is too expensive for you to
treat the same, RETURN the animal to us strictly
within 48 hours from time of purchase, along with a
written report from the vet explaining the health
problem and you may claim full money back paid for the
animal. Any claims after 48 hours will not be
entertained. We ensure you that we will have our own
vets check the problem.
Bring the animal back to us for our resident vet
to check the problem. If we feel the problem is minor
and can be treated, we will get the animal examined by
our own vet and provide our vet’s advice and
treatment/surgery/medicine etc. at no cost to you.
Major and life threatening problems : Such
as Parvo/Distemper/Pre-existing pneumonia etc.
, please bring the animal back to us urgently and we
will send it the vet hospital of OUR CHOICE and the
pet will be fully treated at our cost. If the pet
survives through the problem & given a clean bill of
health by our vets, you may take the pet back or you
may choose ‘not to ‘ take the pet and we will refund
you 50% of the money paid due to ‘your personal
reasons other than health of the pet’. In this highly
unlikely situation, you will be required to wait till
a final bill of health is provided by our vets. If the
pet dies due to such a problem, we will refund 100% of
the money paid.
