Important information regarding disease and congenital health defects covered by
this contract.
Hypoglycaemia: Is a serious illness which can result in the death of a young puppy. It will usually occur at between
6-16 weeks of age. It is caused by low blood sugar levels and is usually the result of a puppy skipping meals
combined with the stress of a new home. It can also be triggered by a puppy exerting too much energy after not
having eaten enough. The puppies intake of calories should always exceed the amount of calories burnt through
exercise. Please make sure the puppy is given 3 meals per day and always has access to clean drinking water. We
will generally not cover a puppy against Hypoglycaemia unless it is the secondary result of another issue.

Parvo Virus/Distemper: Both very serious infectious illness’s which can affect young puppies and unvaccinated
dogs. Your puppy is guaranteed to have come from you from a Parvo/Distemper free environment and as such will
be covered from these disease for a period of 5 days from the collection/Delivery of your puppy. It will be the buyers
responsibility to make all attempts to ensure that the puppy is not exposed to either disease by refraining from
taking the puppy to any public place which may have the virus present (remembering it can live in the ground for
many years). Vet surgeries are high risk areas so always be sure that your vet has not has contact with a parvo infected
dog prior to examining your puppy and ensure they have sterilised the examination table prior to placing
your puppy there. Never let your puppy play on the floor in a Vet surgery or on the ground outside a vet surgery.
Puppy pre school are great for socialisation but are also pose a considerable risk to your puppy, so we strongly advise
waiting until puppy is fully vaccinated prior to attending classes.

Umbilical hernia’s: These are common amongst Cavoodles and Spoodles and are generally the result of the
mother dog pulling a little hard when breaking the umbilical cord during birth causing usually a tiny tear in the
stomach wall allowing a bubble of fat to protrude through. More often than not the hole will close on its own as the
puppy grows it can sometime trap the bubble of fat on the outside leaving an “outie” belly button. If the hole is only
small there are no impending health risks to the puppy however if the hole is large then there is the slight potential
for intestines to produce through and possibly get caught in which case it is advisable to have the hole repaired at
the time the puppy is desexed. If a puppy is found to have an umbilical hernia that requires repair we will notify the
buyer and make an agreement to pay for repair during the time of desexing ie. Total cost of operation less the cost
of desexing. However most vets don’t charge extra for this as it is a simple stitch and for a female puppy the desexing
can be performed through the umbilical opening and repaired at the time of closing the abdominal wall, however
some vets may be a little greedy and charge up to $100 for the simple stich so we reserve the right to speak to the
vet prior to the desexing and obtain a quote from them.

Luxating Patella: Is a condition that can be hereditary. It is fairly common in small breeds of dogs including Cavaliers
and Toy Poodles however it doesn’t always bother them and most of the time you wouldn’t notice a dog suffered
from luxating patellas as they can show no signs of being in pain. There are 4 different grades of severity of
luxating Patella’s with a grade one being the most minor and a grade 4 being the worst. Severe luxating patellas can
be prevented by keeping your dog at an optimal body weight and not allowing him to get over weight. Proving your
dog with plenty of opportunity to exercise and keep a healthy maintain good muscle tone around the knee will prevent
the knee cap from slipping out of place. Often a puppy will be found to have some looseness in the kneecap
however this is generally nothing to be concerned about as they tighten as they mature. If said puppy does develop
a high grade of luxating patella in the first 2 years of its life and is in significant pain a corrective surgery can be
performed to remedy the problem and alleviate the pain. If all attempts have been made by the buyer to keep the
dog fit and not overweight but the dog is still in significant pain and surgery is the next option we will cover the
costs of the surgery up to the value of the puppy or if preferred take the dog back for a refund or replacement.
Hip Dysplasia: Is extremely rare in small breeds of dogs as it more commonly affects large breeds so is generally
not an issue in Cavoodles or Toy/Mini Spoodle’s but it can affect Standard (Large) Spoodles. The causes of it are
multifactorial however genetic inheritance is believed to be the biggest risk factor. A dog suffering from hip dysplasia
(instability or a laxity of the hip joint) can be in significant pain and may require anti inflamitories and or pain
relief or in severe cases surgery may be an option. In the incidence that said puppy suffers from severe hip dysplasia
in the first 2 years of its life we will issue a refund or replacement puppy at the buyers discretion

Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral Valve disease is a heart condition that is unfortunately a very common problem in
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and therefor can also be an issue in Cavoodles. Fortunately due to the extremely
rare/non existent occurrence of MVD in poodles the risks are significantly reduced. If MVD is diagnosed in the first
2 years of your puppies life we will offer a full refund or replacement at the buyers discretion.
