Warranty Questions

[Jeanette Clark]

I've read a variety of published warranties from breeders, as well as forum discussions and guidelines on what to look for and what is good, and what is minimal. 

 

Some of the differences have prompted some questions that I wanted to get input on -

 

RE HIP DYSPLASIA

Is a warranty that covers severe dysplasia adquate (versus any diagnosed level of hip dysplasia)?

 

RE SUPPLEMENTS

Is a warranty that requires the use of supplements acceptable?

 

RE WARRANTY PROVISIONS

Some provide for a replacement without needing to surrender the original puppy/dog, while others have a provision for an option of a monetary reimbursement towards the medical expenses up the original purchase price.  Thoughts on pros and cons of each?

 

Thanks in advance!

Using GANA has been a source in our research/selection consideration.

Jeanette, I am truly impressed with the research and thought you are putting into your purchase.  I have never put that much effort into anything I have bought - ever.  And, when I had my kids, I just had to take what came out - no choice at all. :-}

Yeah - I hear you on the kids....  :)  But I wouldn't trade them for the world...  most days anyway.  lol!
