Health Guarantee

Our Health Guarantee

Every puppy from CB Great Dane Puppies goes home with a 12 month health guarantee. We raise our puppies in our own home, watch them closely every day, and have each one checked by a licensed vet before it leaves. Still, no breeder can promise that a living animal will never have a problem, so this guarantee explains exactly how we stand behind our puppies.

Please read it carefully before you reserve. It is also part of the sales agreement you sign with us.

What Is Covered

The guarantee covers congenital and hereditary conditions that seriously affect your puppy’s health. These are problems a puppy is born with or inherits from its parents, and they must be serious enough to have a real impact on quality of life.

• Congenital defects present from birth that seriously affect health
• Hereditary conditions passed down through the parents
• Conditions confirmed in writing by a licensed veterinarian

Guarantee Period

Coverage lasts 12 months, counted from the date your puppy goes home with you. For puppies that are delivered, that is the date the puppy arrives in your care.

Your Responsibilities as the Owner

The guarantee depends on a few simple steps on your side. They protect your puppy, and they help everyone get clear answers if something comes up.

• Have your puppy examined by a licensed vet within 72 hours of homecoming, and keep the exam record.
• Provide humane care, good food, fresh water, shelter, and regular veterinary care.
• Continue the vaccine and deworming schedule your vet recommends.
• Notify us within 24 hours of any diagnosis that may fall under this guarantee.

What Is Not Covered

Some health issues are outside the control of any breeder, and some are common, minor, and easy to treat. The guarantee does not cover:

• Viruses, bacteria, or parasites picked up after the puppy leaves us
• Minor treatable issues such as mild skin irritation, stress related stomach upset, or routine parasites
• Injuries, poisoning, accidents, or neglect
• Routine costs such as vaccines, deworming, and spay or neuter surgery
• Cosmetic matters such as markings, coat color, or ear set

Vet bills and travel costs are the buyer’s responsibility unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.

If a Health Issue Is Found

Contact us right away by email at info@cbgreatdanepuppies.com. We know it is a stressful time, and we will work through it with you.

Documents We Need

• A written statement from your licensed vet describing the diagnosis
• Test results that support the diagnosis
• Your puppy’s medical records, including the first exam within 72 hours

Second Opinion

We may ask for a second opinion from a vet of our choice. If we do, we pay for that exam only. This step is not about doubting you. It simply makes sure the diagnosis is confirmed before any remedy is decided.

Remedy Options

Once a covered condition is confirmed, we choose the remedy based on the situation. The options are:

• A replacement puppy of similar value from a future litter
• A partial credit toward a future puppy

We will explain our decision clearly and give you an honest idea of when a replacement could be available.

Replacement and Return

A replacement requires the return of the original puppy, unless your vet advises against moving the dog. Many families grow attached quickly, and we understand that. If returning the puppy is not right for the dog’s health, tell us and send the vet’s advice so we can talk through the next step together.

Keeping Your Great Dane Healthy

Great Danes grow faster than almost any other breed. A little care in the first year makes a big difference to joints, digestion, and long term health.

Large Breed Growth

• Feed a quality large breed puppy food and follow the portions in our nutrition manual.
• Keep your puppy lean. You should be able to feel the ribs without pressing hard.
• Avoid extra calcium or supplements unless your vet recommends them.

Bloat Awareness

Bloat, also called gastric dilatation and volvulus, is a serious emergency in deep chested breeds. Learn the signs early.

• Feed several smaller meals instead of one big meal.
• Wait about an hour after meals before play or exercise.
• Call a vet immediately if you see a swollen belly, restlessness, drooling, or retching with nothing coming up.

Controlled Exercise

• Choose short walks and free play on soft ground over long runs.
• Limit stairs and jumping from furniture or cars while your puppy is growing.
• Skip jogging or forced running until your vet says the growth plates have closed.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, please ask before you reserve. Reach us through the contact page or by email at info@cbgreatdanepuppies.com. We usually reply within 24 hours, and we are happy to talk through any part of the guarantee.
