Hi there,
I work for a vet in California. Yesterday and very nice lady came in with a puppy she had bought from poos r us .com
The puppy is infested with fleas and has ringworm. She brought the puppy directly to us from the airport! She looked at him and knew something was wrong. According to their website they refuse to pay vet bills and/or give refunds.
Is this legal?
Yesterdays visit alone was almost 200 bucks. I feel really bad for the buyer. It is her first pet. She already loves the little pup.
also, the health certificate is nothing like what we do in out office. This one doesn't have any vaccines listed, the maker, the vet's license number, nothing, but a statement that the pup "is free of infectious disease" as of 5/20/05. This is baloney as the dog arrived with fleas and scabs from the ringworm and still has active ringworm. Is there any liability for the vet who signed this? It's Pat Griffin,DMV of Temple Tx.
It could be a forgery. There is no stamp, no vet office letterhead, nothing.
If nothing else I'd like to see the word get out about this.
I hate seeing people get taken advantage of.
Thank you!
