Pyrenees Ranch - Kennel Medical Policies
Every animal receives a full battery of immunizations.
Providing healthy animals is our number one concern -- not only for
you, our customer, but for the continued success of our kennel operations as
well. Not to mention our love for our animals...
Starting the day a new litter is whelped in our kennels, every pup is
provided a good healthy start with every possible means we know how to provide.
Adult dogs under our care receive the best ongoing treatment as well.
A 30 DAY HEALTH GUARANTEE is conveyed to
you for any dog you purchase.
This means that you can be confident that your new dog has had the very best
treatment and you can rest assured that your new dog is off to a good healthy
start. And we back it up with an offer to pay 100% of your vet bills if
your dog becomes sick (up to the purchase price of the animal). Read more
details below.
In addition, a ONE YEAR HEALTH GUARANTEE
will remain in effect as long as you continue keep the dog up to date
on their normal routine medications. We will provide you with a medical
history (see
example) on the animal which will also let you know when any future routine
treatments are due. There is no additional charge for this guarantee.
Read more details below.
Every dog we sell is up to date on all of their immunization shots. This
includes:
- Distemper [*Annual]
- Hepatitis [*Annual]
- Leptospirosis [*Annual - not
recommended for young puppies]
- Parainfluenza [*Annual]
- Parvovirus (Parvo) [*Annual]
- Coronavirus [*Annual]
*Young puppies receive a series of 3-4 shots beginning at 6 weeks of age.
Thereafter it is an annual vaccination.
In addition all of our dogs are current with the following:
- Deworming (including
heartworm)
- Rabies vaccination [Annual]
- Flea/Tick control (seasonal)
To take advantage of the one year Health guarantee offered by us, you must
continue to keep the animal up to date on all of the above treatments as they
come due.
We want you to take good care of your dog. That's the bottom line.
The offer of a one year long health guarantee is intended to motivate you into
doing everything you can to keep your dog healthy. These Great Pyrenees
are sometimes more like humans than dogs, and they deserve the best ongoing
preventative medical treatment you can afford to give them.
Some of the treatments above may not always be applicable to a dog you might
purchase from us. This is mainly because some of the treatments are age
dependant, and with others, young pups and adults will receive alternate levels
of treatment. Don't worry about the details right now. To help you
understand when your dog needs routine care, we will provide you with a medical
history on the animal which will also let you know when any future routine
treatments are due.
