We at Lilly Lane Spaniels guarantee that the puppy you purchase is in sound health at the time of sale to the best of our knowledge. All puppies have been given age-appropriate vaccinations and worming as stated on the puppy health records. The buyer is responsible for all future vaccinations, worming, and vet care. 

We cannot control and situations that may arise after a puppy leaves our care. Puppies sometimes become stressed when adopted and moved to their new home. The stress can be caused by a multitude of changes the puppy is encountering: changes in diet, no longer taking the supplement, too much handling, not enough quiet time, ingesting something the puppy should not have, or not eating properly. This stress can cause opportunistic parasites/ viruses to become an issue. These include but are not limited to: worms, ear mites, colds, hypoglycemia, coccidia, and giardiasis. These conditions are all treatable and do not warrant a replacement. 

A replacement puppy will be awarded if, within one year of life, a limiting genetic disorder is found. Official reports from 2 unaffiliated veterinarians stating that, without a doubt, the puppy has a genetic defect that is life threatening. We will then confirm the diagnosis with our personal veterinarian.

Lilly Lane Spaniels will not be responsible for any expenses the buyer may incur, including shipping and veterinary expenses. The guarantee applies only to the original buyer. Guarantee is for replacement puppy or credit towards a future puppy. 

The following is not covered by this guarantee:

Size, color, or temperament

External parasites: fleas, ticks, ear mites

Internal parasites: worms or protozoa. 

Almost every puppy has some sort of intestinal parasite during its time as a puppy. Although we worm our puppies regularly, it only takes a few days for them to pick up another pesky culprit. Puppies are like children and love to explore, this makes them even more vulnerable. 

Please be aware that as a new puppy owner you share in the responsibility to help prevent hip dysplasia. There is more and more evidence showing that environment plays a much bigger role in hip dysplasia than was once thought. It is important to feed a high quality and age-appropriate food, continue with supplements, and not allow the puppy to overexert hips by running on hard surfaces or excessive jumping. Hips cannot be accurately judged until 2 years of age.

It is the responsibility of the new puppy owner to provide adequate food, water, shelter, and veterinarian care. We breed our puppies from some of the finest breeding stock, feed high quality food, and start the puppy on proper footing with supplements. Through proper diet, exercise and quality of living conditions, the new family plays the ultimate role in helping the puppy grow into a healthy adult.
