Health Guarantee

​

Shan Shui Shih Tzu offers a 24 month replacement guarantee against life threatening congenital diseases in our puppies. Our guarantee does not cover minor issues that are common to this breed, such as umbilical hernias, tight nostrils or open fontanels (soft spot on skull). These usually correct on their own and do not require surgical repair. If repair is recommended by your vet, these issues can be repaired at the time of spay/neuter if they do not correct as the puppy matures.

 

Buyer must have the puppy checked by their veterinarian within 72 hours after picking up their puppy for this guarantee to be in effect. A copy of the vet report must be sent to Shan Shui Shih Tzu within 30 days.  

 

Your puppy appears to be of sound body and good health at the time of purchase. Your puppy has been examined by our veterinarian and no defects or disease were found. Upon confirmation of a defect found from a licensed veterinarian and confirmed by our veterinarian, Seller will provide a replacement puppy of equal value from our next available litter.  Unless other arrangements have been made, the buyer is responsible for any shipping costs associated with the replacement guarantee. All health records from a licensed veterinarian must be provided to seller. The puppy must be kept in good health by the purchaser, including preventative care, vaccinations and treatment for parasites. The guarantee will be terminated ifthe puppy does not have up to date medical records, has been neglected or abused or has been used for breeding. 

 

All guarantees apply to the original buyer only and are not transferable. Our guarantee does not cover diseases that can be prevented by vaccinations or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which is common in small breed puppies. We recommend giving your puppy Nutrical 3 times a day for the first few days after you receive your puppy. Shan Shui Shih Tzu is not responsible for any veterinarian bills after the puppy leaves our care. 

 

The buyer agrees the puppy will receive routine veterinary care and be primarily kept indoors. Shih Tzu

are small, indoor dogs and should not be kept outside for extended periods. We cannot guarantee the color or size a puppy will be when it matures. We do our best to estimate size and color based on our experience.
