Florida Statutes, to receive a certificate of veterinary inspection
with each dog or cat purchased from a pet dealer. Such certificate shall
list all vaccines and deworming medications administered to the animal and
shall
state that the animal has been examined by a Florida-licensed veterinarian
who certifies that, to the best of the veterinarian's knowledge, the animal
was found to have been healthy at the time of the veterinary examination.
In
the event that the consumer purchases the animal and finds it to have been
unfit for purchase as provided in section _828.29_
I don't see the problem...don't we keep records on our puppies worming, and
shots prior to taking in for their health certs? I do! I also have a
contract that allows buyers 72 hours to take said puppy to a vet for exam....I
don't know if I'm missing something here??

It would be a REQUIREMENT before a breeder can place any puppies and on ANY
dog coming into the state that has been or is sold. You have a litter of 8
puppies, you must pay for a health certificate for each one before they can be
sold. Now, I vet check all my puppies before they leave here, but I would
have to pay an additional 35.00 for a health certificate if I sold one to
someone in Florida and drove that dog across the state line. AND I would have
to
give a dog under 16 wks of age a battery of vaccinations including rabies.
Vaccinations, some of which I don't even give. I give 3 puppy shots starting at
9
wks of age 3 weeks apart and rabies at 6 months then a 3 yr rabies at 18
months. Besides the 3 yr rabies, I don't give anything else and don't want my
dogs to have anything else because I think it jeopardizes the immune system by
overloading it. My dogs over 10 do not get rabies shots. They get titers
instead and a vet statement that they are protected. This proposal states what
you
HAVE to give and at what age.
