Our health guarantee

Healthy starts, backed in writing

Every Teeny Tiny puppy goes home with a written health guarantee. Here's a plain-language summary of what that means.

Important: this is a customizable starting template, not legal advice. Edit every bracketed term to match the guarantee you actually offer. Your official, binding guarantee is part of the contract you complete through Good Dog. Consider having a local attorney review your final wording.

Before your puppy comes home

Each puppy is examined by our licensed veterinarian and goes home with:

  • A recent veterinary health exam
  • Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, with records
  • [Microchip, if you provide one]
  • A puppy pack to help with the transition

Our guarantee to you

We guarantee that your puppy is in good health at the time it leaves us. We further guarantee against [specify covered congenital or genetic defects] for a period of [length, e.g. one or two years] from the date of birth. If a covered condition is diagnosed within that time by a licensed veterinarian, we will [describe your remedy — e.g. provide a replacement puppy of equal value, or a partial refund].

What we ask of you

  • Have your puppy examined by your own veterinarian within [e.g. 72 hours] of go-home day
  • Keep vaccinations and parasite prevention current
  • Feed appropriately and keep your dachshund at a healthy weight to protect their back
  • Provide reasonable, ongoing veterinary care

What isn't covered

This guarantee does not cover [e.g. illnesses from injury, neglect, or exposure after go-home; minor or treatable conditions; or issues arising from failure to follow the care terms above]. Adjust this list to your real policy.

How a claim works
