Once a puppy is paid in full, refunds are not available, nor do we accommodate refunds for buyer’s remorse. Please review our health guarantee in our Refunds and Returns Policy page which includes a 30-day money-back health guarantee.
We want every puppy to go home happy and healthy. To ensure that all is well in its new environment, we ask that if possible you get your puppy checked by a vet within 10 days of going home. We also recommend not placing your puppy down on any grass where other dogs have gone to potty until your puppy is seen by a vet.
