_______1.) 10 Year Puppy Replacement Guarantee
In order to qualify for a puppy replacement we require you to purchase Vitadawg Vitamins and show continuous proof of purchase. Vitadawg Vitamins must be purchased prior to the customer’s receipt of their puppy in order for this guarantee to remain intact.
______ 2.) 10 Year Puppy Replacement Guarantee
In order to qualify for our puppy replacement guarantee we require you to provide proof of pet insurance from the date of purchase. Enrollment must occur and coverage must be in place prior to receipt of your puppy in order for this guarantee to remain intact. Up and Away Pups Inc. will not pay medical bills after your puppy has left our care. You will need to submit any and all medical invoice claims to your insurance provider.
_______3.) 10 Year Puppy Replacement Guarantee
In order to qualify for our puppy replacement guarantee we require you to establish care with a licensed vet within 3 business days of receipt of your puppy. A legible copy of the 1st vet visit must be provided. This documentation is to provide no less than the date of service, licensed veterinarian’s documentation such as name, address and phone number along with the puppy’s information as to who was seen at the vet visit. This is required in order for this guarantee to remain intact.
Health Guarantee Basic Information
1.) All puppies are eating Pedigree Puppy Dry Food. If you elect to transition your puppy to a new puppy food we suggest mixing the Pedigree with the new food of your choosing for a few days. This will lessen the disruption in your pup’s bowel movements and lower the risk of sickness.
2.) No refunds are given after your puppy leaves the care of Up and Away Pups Inc. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your new fur baby and want to return for any reason we will lovingly accept your puppy back, in the same condition they were in when they left our care, within their first year of life. You will supply an updated medical record from your licensed veterinarian, as well as, Up and Away Pups Inc.’s original medical records, current dog food, microchip information and Vitadawg records. If you try to return your dog after they are one year old, Up and Away Pups Inc. will need to consider your dog’s medical history, current medications, disposition, and undergo a behavioral assessment to make sure the dog is adoptable and not dangerous to our staff, and can decline to accept the dog back.
3.) All puppies must be picked up within 7 days, once your puppy turns 8 weeks old and/or is cleared by Up and Away Pups Inc.’s licensed veterinarian. Puppies in our training program and/or traveling will have their own specific pick up arrangements made with our staff. By not making arrangements to pick up your puppy within the 7 day timeframe, you understand that after the initial 7 days you are responsible to pay a $50 holding fee per day, for up to 7 additional days. If arrangements on your end cannot be made past this point, Up and Away Pups Inc. will provide a travel quote for delivery or recommend discussing training options with the new puppy owner.

care, either by delivery or pick up. All puppies will be sent to their new home with their medical records, updated vaccinations and dewormings, which is preventative maintenance on our part before your puppy leaves our care.
12.) We do our best to raise and re-home healthy, happy puppies. All items covered under this guarantee are by puppy replacement only. WE DO NOT GIVE
REFUNDS. WE WILL NOT PAY FOR SURGERIES OR PROCEDURES ONCE PUPPY LEAVES OUR PREMISES.
Health Guarantee Replacement Puppy Conditions
1.) In the event a genetic defect is discovered prior to the customer receiving the puppy, and the puppy has been paid in full, Up and Away Pups Inc. will inform new puppy owner of the defect and give the following options: A.) the puppy with the genetic defect will be offered at a lower cost, or B.) Another puppy will be offered in its place.
2.) Replacement puppy will be mutually agreed upon by both new puppy owner and Up and Away Pups Inc. and will be of comparable quality and value. It is understood that the replacement puppy may not be from the exact parents of the original puppy chosen.
3.) New puppy owner is responsible for transportation costs to and from Up and Away Pups Inc. for replacement puppy.
4.) This guarantee applies to the original puppy only and is non transferable to a second party. A new guarantee will be completed for a replacement puppy.
5.) No replacement puppy will be given if the original puppy has been bred, spayed, neutered or euthanized without the consent of Up and Away Pups Inc.
6.) Should your puppy pass away prior to 120 days of age, the puppy owner will pay to have a necropsy performed to determine the cause of passing and share with Up and Away Pups Inc., within 48 hours of receiving the final necropsy report. If the documented cause of passing is congenital, Up and Away Pups Inc., will assist you in choosing a new puppy and walk through the healing process with you. Without a necropsy report, Up and Away Pups Inc.’s medical staff and guardians won’t be able to identify and research any possible “identifiable” future health or genetic issues without proper documented knowledge. Unfortunately, Up and Away Pups Inc. will have no obligation to replace your puppy without the above.
Health Guarantee Medical and Documentation Related
1.) Up and Away Pups Inc. does its best to breed healthy, disease free and genetic disorder free puppies. We do not guarantee or warranty DNA, show quality and/or breeding potential of puppies. Canine DNA companies are not FDA monitored, and will not be recognized by Up and Away Pups Inc. as a reason for monetary compensation.
2.) Up and Away Pups Inc. guarantees all puppies will be current on vaccinations and dewormings as appropriate for their age, up to the date of pick up or delivery. New puppy owner will also be sent home with a preventative dewormer for administration of the puppy’s correct dosage and complete the supply given. The new puppy owner will receive all medical records from Up and Away Pups Inc. for their puppy and is informed of any scheduled maintenance vaccinations or dewormings due. Any questions regarding medical documentation or preventative dewormer are to be asked in advance, and/or within 48 hours of receival of their puppy.
3.) New puppy owner understands if they purchased a purebred puppy, they will not receive registration papers unless otherwise stated on the puppy’s profile. New puppy owner will not receive registration papers for a non-purebred (designer breed) puppy. Up and Away Pups Inc. does not provide new puppy owners with adult registration papers for a purebred parent of a designer breed puppy.
4.) Up and Away Pups Inc. will not be held liable for the adult weight of your puppy. Up and Away Pups Inc. will provide an estimation of mature adult weight based on parent weights, which is not a guarantee. More details provided on page 7, section “Size and Weight Disclaimer”.
5.) We will not accept warranty claims from Banfield Pet Hospitals (Banfield is associated with Petsmart Pet Supplies). This decision is based on the reputation of overcharging clients and vaccinating over vaccinations, which is not healthy for your puppy.

Up and Away Pups Inc. Travel & Delivery Disclosure
I/We, the undersigned, acknowledge the following:
- ETAs are subject to change at any time.
- Travel, whether it be ground or flight, can be very stressful for a puppy. Some puppies do really well while traveling, while others may experience some motion sickness, vomiting, diarrhea or other sickness as a result from the stress of traveling.
- I understand that if my puppy vomits, they may be susceptible to forming a mild aspirated pneumonia which is caused from inhaling any foreign matter (such as vomit), and can be a common occurrence when pets travel. Please take extreme precautions when making arrangements to travel with your new puppy. Up and Away Pups Inc. is not liable for this occurring as we do not release any puppies from our care until our vet has cleared them to travel safely.
- I have been informed that Up and Away Pups Inc. travel nannies are well experienced and do their best to keep any and all pups in their care clean, happy and healthy. • Puppies typically cannot hold their urine and bowel movements for more than 2-3
hours at time. This may result in the puppy having a potty accident in the travel crate. • I have been instructed how and what (oatmeal puppy shampoo) to give and use for my puppy’s bath, once arrived, to remove any urine, fecal or vomit my puppy may have experienced during travel.
- As previously stated, in the event I hire a non-affiliated private puppy nanny, Up and Away Pups Inc. is not liable for the puppy once they are in the hands of your personally hired private puppy nanny.
- In the event I personally drive or fly to pick the puppy up, I assume responsibility for vomiting, which could cause aspiration pneumonia.
- The puppy’s eating schedule is off due to travel, which may result in puppy’s glucose levels dropping and causing puppy to have low energy. Once puppy arrives I have been instructed to give yogurt and/or clear karo syrup or Nutrical, to raise my puppy’s glucose levels back to normal.
- I understand the puppy may not eat immediately, or eat very little over the course of a day or two due to the stress of traveling. We have been instructed on how to give yogurt, baby food, wet puppy food, rotisserie chicken, karo syrup or Nutrical to puppy if they are not eating. • I understand the puppy won’t travel until cleared by a licensed veterinarian. • I understand, upon arrival and settling in, it is imperative my puppy drinks water to avoid dehydration.
- I am aware my puppy won’t travel until the complete balance is paid in full, Health Guarantee and Travel Disclosure are signed.
- I am aware there may be a delay or change in travel schedule due to weather conditions (ex: heat, cold, snow, ice etc.) and unforeseen circumstances affecting ground travel and flight. I am aware my puppy may experience an unscheduled layover, with flight, causing a delay in their arrival.
- IF FLYING: I’ve been instructed where to go to pick my puppy up at the airport. I’ve provided the correct name (consignee) that my puppy’s itinerary has been booked in. This also matches pick up name and address on receiver’s ID (which must be shown when picking up my puppy).
- I’ve supplied the correct delivery address and contact information for ground delivery. • I am satisfied with the communication and instructions I’ve received thus far, regarding my puppy’s travel.

Buyer(s) Signatures: ____________________________ Date: __________________________ Up and Away Pups Inc. Hypoglycemia and Related Conditions Disclaimer
By my signature, I hereby acknowledge that a full explanation was given to me, along with a copy of “What Is Hypoglycemia”, by my Puppy Care Consultant of what Hypoglycemia is, the symptoms of Hypoglycemia, and what to do in the case my puppy shows symptoms of Hypoglycemia. Suggestions for avoiding hypoglycemia: free feeding day/night while your puppy matures and adapts to your environment, establishing healthy eating habits in your puppy, is offered probiotic/prebiotic supplements, greek yogurt, tiny pieces of chicken, baby food safe for puppies, and/or a wet food mixed with their puppy food. By signing this agreement, I am also stating that I am taking full responsibility, monetarily and otherwise, for the health and wellness of this puppy. I am aware the health guarantee does not cover Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar/low glucose/sugar shock), as well as any other possible medical issues, including death, pertaining to, relating to, or resulting from Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar/low glucose/sugar shock). Therefore, by my signature, I hereby acknowledge that Up and Away Pups Inc. is not liable for any medical costs pertaining to, relating to, or resulting from Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar/low glucose/sugar shock). In the event I elect to take my puppy to a licensed veterinarian, and make medical decisions, I am aware said decision(s) will result in my accepting full monetary responsibility for my actions. I also acknowledge that I have been shown the current diet of my puppy and have been given the opportunity to purchase what my puppy is currently eating.
Buyer(s) Signatures: ____________________________ Date: _________________________ Up and Away Pups Inc. Size and Weight Disclaimer
This agreement goes over the estimated weight and size of your new puppy. Here at Up and Away Pups Inc., we DO NOT guarantee our puppies’ size and weight. We make only size and weight estimations based on each puppy’s parents’ size and weight, our parents’ previous litters, the puppy’s eating habits, and the puppy’s current size. As some puppies may stay true to standard breed size and weight estimations, some puppies may exceed those estimations based on their own lifestyle, eating habits, and generations of genetics. As a majority of our puppies are designer breeds, they can mature in their own unique way taking genetics from each parent. That being said, one litter may have puppies that differ in shape, size and weight.
Up and Away Pups Inc. try their very best to give customers the best estimates we can for their puppy’s mature size and weight. However, because of everything stated previously, that estimation is not 100% accurate. Puppies eat, grow, live and develop differently and because of
that, our estimates may be just that, an estimate. Given these points, we DO NOT offer any refunds due to a puppy exceeding estimated size and weight. We believe that if a puppy is to exceed the estimated weights, there is only more to love!
By signing this agreement, I hereby acknowledge that I am aware of my puppy’s breed and potential mature size and weight. I also acknowledge that I was given only an estimated mature weight of my puppy by Up and Away Pups Inc.’s staff based on their knowledge of the breeds and individual puppy’s parent weights and sizes.
Buyer(s) Signatures: ____________________________ Date: __________________________ Up and Away Pups Inc. Acknowledgement of Incidence
