Snowy Mountain Labradors - Health Guarantee
Here at Snowy Mountain Labradors, our White Labrador puppies are pampered right up until the time they arrive at your home. All of our puppies are wormed regularly and receive their first round of vaccinations before leaving. The puppies are kept on a nutritious diet from the time the weaning process begins until the time they leave our kennel. We hope that you are very pleased with the new addition to your family. We take great pride in our breeding program and are confident that we have produced the finest animals in temperament and conformation possible.
Snowy Mountain Labrador's offers a full replacement guarantee against genetic defects in our puppies for a period of two years. If a positive diagnosis of a genetic defect is made and provided your puppy is not altered (spayed/neutered) before 14 months of age, If your puppy is diagnosed by OFA/CERF with hereditary heart disease, hereditary hip dysplasia or hereditary eye disease by age of two, we will provide you with a new puppy of equal quality and value at our earliest opportunity.
Within three days, or 72 hours from the date you received the puppy, we require that you have the puppy(s) examined by a licensed veterinarian to ensure its good health. If your puppy is found to have a life-threatening defect, you may return the puppy (with a written document from the veterinarian stating the problem) and another puppy will be given to you, or your money will be refunded.

| *A combination vaccine, often called a 5-way vaccine, usually includes adenovirus cough and hepatitis, distemper, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. Some combination vaccines may also include leptospirosis (7-way vaccines) and/or coronavirus. The inclusion of either canine adenovirus-1 or adenovirus-2 in a vaccine will protect against both adenovirus cough and hepatitis; adenovirus-2 is highly preferred.
**Some puppies may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 15 weeks of age. Consult with your local veterinarian. § According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, dogs at low risk of disease exposure may not need to be boostered yearly for most diseases. Consult with your local veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your dog. Remember, recommendations vary depending on the age, breed, and health status of the dog, the potential of the dog to be exposed to the disease, the type of vaccine, whether the dog is used for breeding, and the geographical area where the dog lives or may visit. Bordetella and parainfluenza: For complete canine cough protection, we recommend Intra-Trac II ADT. For dogs that are shown, in field trials, or are boarded, we recommend vaccination every six months with Intra-Trac II ADT. |
