adoption - HEALTH GUARANTEE

30-day adoption HEALTH GUARANTEE

This provides your pet complete coverage for a wide variety of common canine and feline illnesses. Our goal is to provide you and your pet with the best possible health care and to avoid adoption returns due to rare but simple and treatable illnesses. Please refer to complete details and limitation to this program below.
