We at Aullys Kennel Iowa have a health checklist ensuring all things possible and within our control to make sure your new puppy is healthy and happy when he or she gets to their new home! We would love to guarantee against all forces of nature and manner of illness, unfortunately, we can not always make that happen. Occasionally, basic and normal Life Biology interferes.

 

Our comprehensive health guarantee has you covered if a health issue should arise. You can be comfortable knowing that we have health checkpoints that we follow closely to ensure a healthy and happy puppy!

 

When making a choice to bring your new puppy into your home, you (the buyer) are going to need to make a financial commitment to providing your new puppy with all of the essentials

they will require. This includes frequent veterinarian visits to keep your puppy up to date on all vaccinations.

​

BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS

Failure to comply with any of these terms of ownership will result in this health guarantee becoming null and void

Veterinary Care - One of the cornerstones of good health for your puppy is regular veterinary care. Upon receiving your puppy, you must take your puppy in for a wellness exam by a licensed veterinarian within FIVE (5) calendar days. Please contact your veterinarian prior to purchase to make an appointment. We provide you with a puppy exam form for your vet to fill out. This needs to be returned to us within 2 days of their appointment.

 

No Vaccines for 10 Days - Since your puppy will arrive up to date on all vaccinations you should not have the dog vaccinated within the first ten (10) days in order to avoid over-vaccination. Exceptions may occur and you will be informed if this applies to your puppy.

 

Pet Only – Our dogs and puppies are sold as pets. Please spay or neuter by seven (7) months of age.

 

Feeding – Most adult dogs can be fed 1 to 2 times daily; puppies must be fed 3-4 times daily depending on size and age. Very small puppies may need to be fed more often.

Parvo preventative Care - Buyer understands the puppy has been vaccinated for Parvo and every measure has been taken to protect the puppy from this virus. However, Buyer understands the puppy may still contract parvo and that they should not take the puppy anywhere it could come in contact with, or where unvaccinated dogs may have been until 2 weeks after his/her 4-month booster is completed so this could transmit parvo to the puppy. Areas of potential contact with parvo include but are not limited to: Areas where dogs are walked, dog parks, pet stores, vet clinic floors, and yards, parking lots, and near the feces of other dogs. Parvovirus is highly contagious and can be carried on shoes.
