According to the state of Pennsylvania dog statutes; If, within ten days after the date of purchase, a dog purchased from a seller is determined, through physical examination, diagnostic tests or necropsy by a veterinarian, to be clinically ill or dies from any contagious or infectious illness or any parasitic illness which renders it unfit for purchase or results in its death, the purchaser may exercise one of the described statutory elections.

1) Return the dog to the seller for a complete refund of the purchase price, not including the sales tax.

(2) Return the dog to the seller for a replacement dog of equal value of the purchaser's choice, providing a replacement dog is available.

(3) Retain the dog and be entitled to receive reimbursement from the seller for reasonable veterinary fees incurred in curing or attempting to cure the affected dog, subject to the limitation that the seller's liability for reimbursement shall not exceed the purchase price, not including sales tax, of the dog. This clause shall apply only if the purchaser's veterinarian determines the dog's illness can be treated and corrected by procedures that are appropriate and customary. The value of these services is considered reasonable if comparable to the value of similar services rendered by other licensed veterinarians in reasonable proximity to the treating veterinarian.

For the purposes of this subsection, veterinary findings of intestinal and external parasites shall not be grounds for declaring the dog unfit for purchase unless the dog is clinically ill or dies due to that condition. A dog shall not be found unfit for purchase on account of injury sustained or illness most likely contracted subsequent to the date of sale. If, within thirty days after the date of purchase, a dog purchased from a seller is certified through physical examination, diagnostic tests or necropsy by a veterinarian that the dog has or died from a defect which is congenital or hereditary and which adversely affects or affected the health of the animal, the purchaser may exercise one of the options as provided in clauses (1), (2) and (3) subsections.

Luxating patella is common in toy poodles, not typically genetic and usually is corrected as the puppy ages into adulthood. Falls and injuries will exacerbate any existing luxating patella; proper veterinary care, exercise and supplements such as MSM, glucosamine and chondroitin is helpful. You must gate off stairs and implement safeguards like icy ground, slippery floors, etc. Most toy poodle puppies have some degree of luxation. Our adults and puppies knees are fully checked and evaluated prior to leaving. Legg Calve Perthes is not covered as it occurs due to damage in the growth plate from falls and over exertion. Our puppies must not be spay or neutered before 9 months of age or this contract is void. This is to support the puppy's healthy development.
