Goldendoodles /Mini Goldendoodles
We guarantee our puppies until one year of age against any hereditary defects of the hips, elbows, eyes, and/or heart. If a board-certified specialist diagnoses your pup as being affected within a year for hips or one year for eyes, heart, and/or elbows, we will take the puppy back and replace it with a puppy from a similar litter.
We cannot guarantee our puppies against illness or parasites brought on by stress such as moving (from our house to yours) or shipping.
We are not responsible if puppy contracts a communicable disease or infection after leaving our possession. Also, this Health Guarantee does not include improper bites, hernias, any illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals, or physical injury.
CARING FOR YOUR NEW PUPPY
Our puppies are generally very easy to care for. Here are a few tips that we think are important reminders of how to care for your new puppy... and are necessary for the health guarantee to be valid.
- Your puppy needs to be examined by a licensed veterinarian within three days after going home. Find a vet that you feel comfortable with, and keep regular appointments, so your vet gets to know your puppy.
- Keep your puppy up to date on shots, worming, and other preventative protocol.
- Feed your puppy a good, well-rounded diet. Do not underfeed or overfeed your puppy. In general, follow the recommended feeding guidelines found on the bag.
- Avoid exposing your puppy to stressful situations, such as frequent stair climbing or standing on concrete for long periods during his formative months.
- Provide adequate shelter and shade, and ensure there is always fresh, clean water available.
- Make sure your puppy has plenty of exercise regularly and whenever possible.
- Puppies need lots of rest too.
- Keep your puppy groomed regularly to avoid mats, itching or scaling skin, and other health problems.
- We recommend grooming at least every 2-3 months.
- Enroll your puppy in a good puppy training class. Many local and online classes are great starters for both you and your puppy.
