A majority of incidents with a new puppy occur within the first 30 days of the purchase. Due to shipping, change of environment, and many other factors; you and your new puppy our most vulnerable financially during this period. If your puppy encounters low blood sugar, an upper respiratory infection or any other emergency situation outside of your control you would be facing an ER vet visit of on average $1000.00. This is usually greater than the cost of your puppy and it is something you nor us can control. The stress, exposure to other animals and temperatures are all factors that can play into an unfortunate situation. Although these situations are very rare they can occur and we want to be able to offer all our customers an reasonable way to protect themselves for any kind of mishap that may occur.
The COMPLETE COMFORT INSURANCE offers up to $1000.00 coverage on any EMERGENCY related issues that may occur with your new baby within the first 30 days of purchase outside of normal care. This means if your teacup baby has low blood sugar resulting in IV treatment or any other emergency related issue the bills would be covered 100% up to $1000.00!!! This option for only $99.95 we believe is a fantastic option for anyone who does not want to worry about the possibility of having a large financial burden if something unfortunate were to happen upon the arrival of their new puppy.
YOU MUST GET APPROVAL PRIOR TO TAKING YOUR PUPPY TO THE VET FOR AN EMERGENCY, THIS CAN BE DONE BY CALLING (787) 340-0110. THIS PACKAGE IS NOT A TICKET FOR NEGLIGENCE.
