AKA's Health Guarantee
When purchasing a dog from AKA's, you will be given, and required to sign, a health guarantee. This protects you from any genetic defects that appear within the first 24 months of the dogs life. Below is the full health guarantee contract:
Purchaser is responsible for all veterinary bills after pickup
of pup.
In order to be covered by our two year guarantee (hips or any genetic):
1. Dog must be owned by the original purchaser who signed the agreement
2. Dog must not have whelped or sired a litter
3. Compensation is to have the puppy replaced, not a cash refund
4. The color or size of the dog is not covered in this guarantee
5. We reserve the right to request a second opinion at your expense
In the event that an AKA dog is suspected of being dysplastic, this is the procedure to be followed:
1. Notify us by phone immediately
2. You must have the hip x-ray performed by a veterinarian who does
not use anesthesia. If your vet will not perform the x-rays without
anesthesia, AKA will not accept the x-ray
3. Submit the x-ray to the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals (OFA) for their judgment. The OFA will accept
x-rays of dogs 6 months or older for hip evaluation, however, only dogs 24 months old or older with normal
hips will be given a certificate number
To qualify for the rest of the guarantee (any genetic defect):
1. Notify us by phone or letter
2. A written and signed evaluation by the veterinarian must be sent to AKA's
3. Date expires: ________________________________
To qualify for a replacement:
1. The dog's registration certificate must be returned to us, signing the ownership back to us,
or a letter from the veterinarian stating the dog has been spayed or neutered.
The entire purchase price of puppy, covered by this guarantee, may be applied to a puppy from
any of AKA's litters of our choice.
