OKEFEILD ACRES PUPPY HEALTH WARRANTY
Since 2004, Okefeild Acres LLC has been committed to providing each family with a well-socialized, healthy puppy. Every puppy is examined by a licensed veterinarian, microchipped, and kept current on recommended Non-RNA vaccinations and deworming protocols to help build early immunity. A signed veterinary examination record certificate will accompany Purchaser’s adoption paperwork.
Coverage For Fatal Viruses
The puppy listed below will have received age appropriate Non-RNA vaccinations prior to going home. This warranty covers distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvovirus for 72 hours after pick up. Should one of these fatal viral illnesses occur within this timeframe, with veterinary confirmation, Okefeild Acres LLC will provide a replacement puppy of equal value from the next available litter (shipping not included). Please note: health issues resulting from the use of RNA vaccines, vaccine reactions, multiple vaccinations on the same day, or administration of vaccines not listed on the provided health chart are not covered.
Coverage For Congenital Anomalies
The puppy listed below is covered for two years, from the date of birth, against congenital defects most common to Poodles, Golden Retrievers and Goldendoodles. If a congenital condition causes death within this period, a replacement puppy of equal value will be offered (shipping not included).
Coverage For Joint And Heart Health
The puppy listed below is covered for two years against crippling hip or elbow dysplasia and serious congenital heart conditions. Affected conditions must be documented through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation For Animals) testing, Pennhip is not accepted. Purchaser agrees to and understands that:
Okefeild Acres LLC has started feeding and recommends continuing feeding Five Star rated Life’s Abundance All Life Stages food. In preparation for homegoing, an e-mail with an invitation for a wholesale account will be sent in order to continue feeding the food that we have proven to grow joints in a healthy way, and that prevents diarrhea, skin problems and ear infections.
If Purchaser chooses to feed a different food, a premium food rated five stars by Dog Food Advisor is required (not exceeding 29% protein and not grain-free to avoid rapid bone growth and potential taurine-deficient related heart issues)
Purchaser agrees to maintain the puppy at a healthy weight
Avoid puppy engaging high-impact activities (forced jogging before 18 months, repetitive stair climbing, or jumping off of furniture or high objects). Nutrition receipt proof will be required.
PURCHASER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
Puppy Care
To maintain the validity of this health warranty, the Purchaser agrees to provide:
Proper care and environment - Indoor, climate-controlled shelter along with clean water and required nutrition as listed above
Training and behavior expectations - Each puppy raised at Okefeild Acres LLC receives age-appropriate foundational training before going home. While this early foundation prepares your puppy for success, puppies are not sold as fully trained or finished dogs. The Purchaser is responsible for continuing training after adoption which includes completing at least two levels of obedience training, with the Purchaser as handler. Ongoing training encourages improved socialization with unfamiliar people, dogs and environments, promotes stronger temperament development, reinforces bonding between the puppy and their family and is essential for therapy or service work prospects. Failure to continue training may lead to behavior challenges. Training receipt proof will be required.
Veterinary care - Routine veterinary check-ups, Non-RNA vaccinations, and parasite control as listed on the accompanying health chart. Controlled exposure to outside environments is expected until immunity is fully established
Medical documentation - All veterinary records must list the puppy’s microchip number for verification purposes.
Please avoid:
Setting the puppy on the ground at veterinary clinics - always carry or crate them until vaccinations are complete
Bringing the puppy to dog parks, pet stores, or areas with unknown dogs until after the 12-week vaccination has been received
Housing the puppy on slippery or cement surfaces
High-impact activities before 18 months of age (e.g. forced jogging, repetitive stair climbing, or jumping off of high objects)
Spay/Neuter Options
Two options are offered regarding Spay/Neuter:
Option 1
Purchaser agrees that the puppy listed below is being sold as a companion only, without breeding rights. The puppy must be Spayed/Neutered by seven (7) months of age. Proof of the procedure must be provided to Okefeild Acres LLC by the attending veterinarian. Failure to complete the procedure within this timeframe will void this warranty in it’s entirety. Any such breach of contract puts Purchaser at risk of legal proceedings being filed, with all associated costs becoming the responsibility of the Purchaser.
Option 2
For best temperament development, Purchaser requests that their puppy be Spayed/Neutered before homegoing. This procedure is included in the purchase price of their puppy.
Rehoming Policy
If a puppy must be rehomed, the Purchaser agrees to the following:
No refunds will be issued
The Purchaser is solely responsible for finding the puppy a suitable home
The puppy must only be placed in a safe, loving environment and may not be surrendered to a broker, shelter, rescue or pet store
This ensures that every Okefeild Acres puppy continues to receive the same level of care, stability, and compassion for which they were originally bred.
