When
Should I first take my Pet to a Vet???
Have
your pet examined within the first week of purchase or possession of your
pet. The
Lemon Law The
odds of getting a sick animal at a pet shop or Shelter are disturbingly
high. Because
problems with animals from pet shops and shelters are so common, several
states now require pet stores to make detailed disclosures to buyers.
They've also enacted "lemon laws" for dogs, holding pet stores
financially liable for selling sick dogs.
Generally, these laws give owners who find
themselves with sick pets have one or more of these choices:
 | Return the animal for a refund, including
the cost of veterinary services that were needed to determine that the
animal was ill or to relieve its suffering. |
| Exchange the animal for another, and also
getting reimbursement for certain veterinary expenses. |
| Keep the animal and receive reimbursement
for reasonable veterinary costs of trying to cure the animal. The
amount of reimbursement is usually limited to the purchase price of
the pet. |
In most states, the owner has one to two
weeks to return the animal, with a certificate from a veterinarian stating
that the dog has a serious disease or congenital defect that was present
when the dog was sold. If the dog suffers from a congenital disorder, the
owner may have up to a year to return it to the pet store.
To make sure consumers know of their rights
under these laws, several states require pet stores to give buyers a
written notice explaining them. In some states, the form must contain a
certificate for a veterinarian to complete if the animal turns out to have
a serious illness or congenital defect.
