Our Health Guarantee

All Dessie's Doodles dogs have received genetic health testing (or clearance by parentage) and we are constantly working to stay up to date with what is available on the market. We have also begun having our dogs tested through OFA and working towards getting all of our dogs certified over time.  Due to the great lengths that we take to improve the quality of our lines and breed only the best dog we are able to honor a health guarantee against the following congenital conditions below until the dog reaches 24 months(2 years) of age. Many of the following health issues can also be caused by activity levels and lifestyle choices, therefore the guarantee is null and void if the condition is attributed to injury, neglect, obesity, rapid growth due to poor nutrition and/or strenuous, repetitive exercise (such as agility training or running miles a day) that takes place before 18 months of age. 

In the unfortunate event that a dog is confirmed affected by one of the following congenital or genetic conditions, the Buyer can elect to either receive a replacement puppy (only in the event of the death of the original dog)or receive a one time reimbursement for vet bill deductible for treatment of the condition up to $500. Reimbursement is for treatment only, no reimbursement for tests to diagnose the condition will be given. Dessie's Doodles requires all puppies be enrolled in a pet insurance policy. We send puppies home with 30 days of free insurance through trupanion. After the end of the trial it is up to the family to decide which policy to go with. Proof of illness must be submitted in a timely manner by families, along with proof of insurance coverage.  All reimbursements will be submitted and treatment must be provided within 1 year of the diagnosis. Congenital conditions must be confirmed by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (for HD, ED, and Luxating Patellas), or a Board Certified Canine Cardiologist (for Cardiac Disorders). All genetic conditions must be confirmed by an OFA approved lab.

Dessie's Doodles Guarantee does not include viral illnesses, infections, improper bites, heart murmurs, stress related illness, hypoglycemia, cancer, endocrin disorders, diet allergies, hernias, or parasites. It also does not cover illness due to the ingestion of foreign objects, food, chemicals, or physical injury. This warranty is included in our contract.
