When adopting a puppy from a breeder across the country, one of the biggest concerns new pet parents face is health. That’s why we make it a priority to explain why we offer a health guarantee for shipped puppies. Your puppy’s well-being doesn’t just matter to you it matters deeply to us too.
What Is a Puppy Health Guarantee?
A health guarantee is a written assurance that your puppy is in good health at the time of delivery and free from known genetic disorders. This is not just a formality. It’s a vital part of ethical breeding and responsible shipping.

We understand the risks involved in transporting a young dog, which is why we offer a health guarantee for shipped puppies to give you peace of mind and ensure the puppy gets a healthy start in its new home.
Why a Health Guarantee Matters for Shipped Puppies
Shipping adds a layer of stress to a puppy’s journey. Even when handled professionally, travel can affect their immune system. That’s part of why we offer a health guarantee for shipped puppies to protect you and the puppy in case any issues arise post-arrival.
We partner with certified veterinarians and only use safe, pet-approved carriers. Still, we believe it’s our responsibility to back that effort with a written commitment to health.

What Our Health Guarantee Covers
Our health guarantee includes:
A clean bill of health from a licensed vet before shipping
A specified period (e.g., 14 days) for viral illness protection
A longer-term genetic health warranty (typically up to 12 months)
This structured protection is a major reason why we offer a health guarantee for shipped puppies, and it reflects our confidence in our breeding standards and puppy care.

Responsible Breeding and Early Health Screening
We don’t just guarantee health we build it from the start. All our puppies are screened for genetic diseases common to their breed and raised in clean, enriched environments with early vet care and vaccinations.
This proactive care is another reason why we offer a health guarantee for shipped puppies. We’re not just delivering a pet; we’re sending a new family member that has had the best possible start.

One of the biggest reasons why we offer a health guarantee for shipped puppies is to build trust. Buying a puppy online requires confidence in the breeder, and our transparent health policy is part of that trust-building process.
By offering a written health guarantee, we aim to show that we care about your long-term happiness—not just the sale.
