Health Guarantee Information – Cute German Shepherd

Before bringing home your German Shepherd puppy, it’s essential to discuss the health guarantee with the breeder. At Cute German Shepherd, we encourage all buyers to ask for a written health guarantee to ensure their new puppy is happy and healthy.

Veterinary Check & Health Guarantee

We strongly recommend taking your new puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of purchase for a thorough health examination. Be sure to bring along any health records and paperwork provided by the breeder.

Most reputable breeders will offer a health guarantee that covers:

✔️ A Clean Bill of Health – Puppies should be free from major illnesses or congenital defects at the time of sale.
✔️ Vaccinations & Deworming – Breeders typically ensure that puppies are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming treatments.
✔️ Genetic Health Conditions – Some breeders test for common hereditary health issues in German Shepherds, such as hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy (DM).
✔️ Return or Exchange Policy – If a serious health issue is diagnosed within a specific time frame, breeders may offer a replacement puppy or refund policy (varies by breeder).
