2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Our Commitment to You

When you bring a Yorkshire Terrier puppy into your home, you are making one of the most meaningful commitments a family can make. You are choosing a companion, a personality, a daily source of joy — and you deserve to make that choice with complete confidence. At Yorkie Puppies South Africa, that confidence is not a marketing phrase. It is a legal document, signed by us, provided to you at purchase, and honoured in full for two years — regardless of which country in Southern Africa you call home. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Our 2-year health guarantee is the most comprehensive written commitment offered by any Yorkshire Terrier breeder in South Africa. It covers the conditions that matter most, requires straightforward care from your side, and has no hidden clauses designed to void your coverage. This page explains exactly what is covered, how it works, what you need to do to keep your guarantee valid, and what to expect if you ever need to use it. We believe in full transparency — and this page is a reflection of exactly that. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

What Our Yorkie Puppy 2-Year Health Guarantee Covers

When you bring a Yorkshire Terrier puppy into your home, you are making one of the most meaningful commitments a family can make. You are choosing a companion, a personality, a daily source of joy — and you deserve to make that choice with complete confidence. At Yorkie Puppies South Africa, that confidence is not a marketing phrase. It is a legal document, signed by us, provided to you at purchase, and honoured in full for two years — regardless of which country in Southern Africa you call home. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy
Our health guarantee covers your Yorkshire Terrier puppy for hereditary and congenital conditions — conditions that are either genetically inherited from the parents or present from birth before symptoms may have been visible at the time of placement. These are the conditions that matter most to responsible Yorkie puppy buyers and that distinguish a genuine, ethical breeding programme from a commercial kennel or puppy farm.

The following conditions are covered in full under our 2-year health guarantee:

Liver shunt (portosystemic shunt)

Liver shunt is one of the most serious hereditary conditions found in the Yorkshire Terrier breed. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels cause blood to bypass the liver, resulting in toxin accumulation in the bloodstream. Liver shunt is a condition that can sometimes take weeks or months to manifest clearly after birth. Our 2-year guarantee means that if your puppy is diagnosed with a congenital portosystemic shunt by a registered veterinarian within two years of placement, your coverage applies immediately and in full. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Luxating patella (slipping kneecap)

Luxating patella is a common hereditary condition in small dog breeds including Yorkshire Terriers, where the kneecap slips out of its normal position. While mild grades may not immediately affect a puppy’s movement, more significant grades can cause pain and require veterinary intervention. Our health guarantee covers congenital luxating patella confirmed by a registered vet within the two-year period. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Congenital heart defects

Congenital heart defects are abnormalities in the structure of the heart that are present from birth. These include conditions such as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and pulmonary stenosis. If your Yorkshire Terrier puppy is diagnosed with a congenital heart defect confirmed by a registered veterinarian within two years of placement, this is fully covered under our guarantee.

Hereditary eye conditions

Certain eye conditions in Yorkshire Terriers have a hereditary basis, including progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and hereditary cataract. If a registered veterinarian confirms a hereditary eye condition within the two-year guarantee period, your coverage applies in full.

14-day arrival health assurance

In addition to our 2-year hereditary and congenital coverage, we also provide a 14-day arrival health assurance. If your puppy shows signs of a pre-existing illness or condition that was not detected at the time of the pre-departure veterinary examination, and that condition is confirmed by a registered veterinarian within 14 days of your puppy’s arrival at your home, we will address the matter promptly, fairly, and in full. This assurance applies to every buyer in every country — South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Lesotho, and Namibia. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

What is not covered: The guarantee does not cover conditions arising from accidents, injuries, infections contracted after placement from other animals, neglect, improper diet, failure to maintain the recommended vaccination and veterinary care schedule, or conditions that are management-related rather than hereditary or congenital in nature. We explain all exclusions clearly at purchase — there are no surprises in our guarantee documentation.

From Birth to Your Home — Every Yorkie Puppy’s 12-Week Health Journey

The foundation of our 2-year health guarantee is not simply a signed document — it is the 12 weeks of rigorous, monitored, documented care that every Yorkshire Terrier puppy receives before they leave our home. Understanding what happens during those 12 weeks will give you the clearest picture of why our guarantee means what it says. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Weeks 1 and 2 — birth monitoring and colostrum feeding

From the moment each puppy is born, we begin daily weight checks and health monitoring. Colostrum — the first milk produced by the mother — is critically important for immune system development in the first 24 to 48 hours of life. We ensure every puppy in a litter receives adequate colostrum intake and monitor for any signs of fading puppy syndrome, low birth weight, or developmental concerns that could affect long-term health outcomes. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Weeks 3 and 4 — first deworming and weaning introduction

At three weeks of age, our puppies begin their first stage of deworming treatment. Yorkshire Terrier puppies, like all young dogs, are vulnerable to intestinal parasites that can cause significant health problems if untreated. Our deworming programme follows a multi-stage protocol designed to comprehensively eliminate common parasites including roundworm and hookworm. Alongside deworming, we begin the gradual introduction of solid foods — softened, age-appropriate puppy food — to begin the weaning process at the correct developmental stage.

Weeks 5 and 6 — socialisation and household exposure

These two weeks are among the most important in a puppy’s entire life. The socialisation window — the period during which a puppy’s brain is most receptive to new experiences — begins to close around 12 to 14 weeks of age. Everything a Yorkie puppy experiences during weeks five and six shapes their temperament for life. Our puppies are exposed to household sounds — the television, the washing machine, the doorbell, children’s voices, and the daily rhythms of a busy family home. They are handled daily by every member of our family, including our children aged four, thirteen, and seventeen. This exposure produces the calm, confident, sociable Yorkshire Terriers that our buyers consistently describe upon arrival. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Week 7 — registered veterinary wellness examination

At seven weeks, every puppy undergoes a comprehensive physical examination performed by a registered South African veterinarian. This is not a routine check — it is a full systemic assessment covering the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, eyes, ears, musculoskeletal system, skin, coat condition, body weight, and general neurological presentation. Any puppy that does not pass this examination with a clean bill of health does not proceed to placement. The veterinary health certificate issued at this point becomes part of your puppy documentation pack.

Week 8 — first vaccination

The first combination DHPPi vaccination is administered at eight weeks of age. This vaccine protects against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza — the four most serious infectious diseases that young puppies face. The vaccination is recorded on your puppy’s official vaccination card, which is issued by the administering veterinarian and will accompany your puppy to their new home. This card is essential for your own veterinarian to continue the vaccination schedule without any gaps.

Weeks 10 to 12 — second vaccination, final deworming, and documentation assembly

The second combination vaccination is administered between ten and twelve weeks of age, completing the primary puppy vaccination course. A final deworming treatment is given, and your puppy’s complete documentation pack is assembled — vaccination card, full deworming treatment records, a Yorkshire Terrier-specific feeding and care guide written by our family, and your signed 2-year health guarantee document. By the time your Yorkie puppy is ready to come home, every step of their health journey is documented, verified, and ready for your own veterinarian to review. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

What You Receive — Your Complete Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Documentation Pack

Every Yorkie puppy placed by Yorkie Puppies South Africa arrives with a complete set of documentation — not a verbal assurance, not a handwritten note, but a professionally assembled pack that every veterinarian in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Lesotho, or Namibia will recognise and be able to work with immediately. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Veterinary health certificate

Issued by the registered South African veterinarian who performed your puppy’s pre-departure wellness examination, the health certificate provides written confirmation that your puppy was examined, found to be in good health, and cleared for placement. This document is essential for cross-border buyers and for establishing your puppy’s health baseline with your own veterinarian. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Official vaccination card

Your puppy’s vaccination card is issued by the administering veterinarian and records every vaccination your puppy has received, including the dates administered, the vaccines used, and the batch numbers for each vaccine. This card is the document your vet will use to continue your puppy’s vaccination schedule — it is as important as any document in the pack.

Complete deworming treatment records

Full written records of every stage of your puppy’s deworming programme, including the products used, the dates of treatment, and the dosages administered. Your veterinarian can use these records to plan future deworming treatments without any duplication or gaps. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Yorkshire Terrier feeding and care guide

A comprehensive written guide prepared specifically for Yorkshire Terrier puppies, covering daily feeding schedules, portion sizes appropriate for your puppy’s age and weight, nutritional guidance, grooming basics, dental care, hypoglycaemia prevention, exercise recommendations, and general care advice for the first weeks and months in your home. This guide is written by our family from over 8 years of daily experience raising Yorkshire Terriers.

Signed 2-year health guarantee document

Your signed health guarantee is a written legal document — not a terms and conditions web page, not a verbal commitment. It is signed by us, dated on the day of placement, and sets out clearly what is covered, for how long, and what conditions apply. A copy is provided to you and a copy is retained by us. Every guarantee we issue is specific to your puppy — including their name, date of birth, placement date, and your details as the buyer. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

How to Keep Your Yorkie Puppy Health Guarantee Valid — Five Simple Requirements

Our guarantee is designed to be easy to maintain. We do not create complicated conditions designed to void your coverage — we set straightforward care requirements that every responsible Yorkie puppy owner should naturally follow. Here are the five conditions you need to meet to keep your 2-year health guarantee fully active from the day your puppy arrives: 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

1. Register with a licensed vet within 5 days of arrival

Within five days of your puppy’s arrival at your home, take them to a registered veterinarian for a new-owner wellness check. This visit serves two purposes: it confirms your puppy’s health at the point of arrival with an independent professional, and it begins the formal veterinary relationship your puppy will need throughout their life. This applies whether you are in Johannesburg, Gaborone, Harare, Lusaka, Maseru, or anywhere else in Southern Africa — a registered local veterinarian is required. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

2. Maintain the recommended vaccination schedule

Follow the vaccination schedule recommended by your veterinarian and recorded on your puppy’s vaccination card. Do not skip or delay booster vaccinations. Gaps in the vaccination schedule create health risks for your puppy and may affect the validity of your guarantee if a condition arises that relates to an unvaccinated disease exposure. Your vet will typically recommend boosters at regular intervals — keep every appointment. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

3. Feed a quality, age-appropriate puppy diet

Follow the feeding recommendations provided in your Yorkshire Terrier care guide. Feed a quality commercial puppy food or a veterinarian-approved diet appropriate for your puppy’s age, size, and developmental stage. Improper nutrition is a leading cause of preventable health problems in young Yorkshire Terriers, including hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), which can be life-threatening if not managed. A quality diet is one of the most important investments you can make in your Yorkie’s long-term health. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

4. Notify us promptly if any health concern arises

If you notice any sign of illness, behavioural change, or health concern during the guarantee period, contact us via WhatsApp or email immediately. Do not wait until the concern has progressed significantly before reaching out. We respond to every message within 24 hours — from anywhere in Southern Africa — and we will advise you on the appropriate next steps. Prompt communication protects your puppy and ensures your guarantee coverage is applied correctly. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

5. Provide a written veterinary diagnosis to initiate any claim

To initiate a health guarantee claim, you will need to provide a written diagnosis from a registered veterinarian confirming the condition, its hereditary or congenital nature, and the date of diagnosis. This requirement exists to ensure that claims are founded on professional veterinary assessment rather than general concern. We take every claim seriously and respond to every claim with fairness, care, and a genuine desire to do right by your puppy and your family.

Our Yorkie Health Guarantee Applies Across All Six Countries We Serve

One of the most important commitments we make at Yorkie Puppies South Africa is this: our 2-year health guarantee does not have a geographic boundary. Whether your Yorkie puppy is delivered to a family in Johannesburg or a family in Lusaka, the coverage is identical, the documentation is identical, and our commitment to your puppy’s wellbeing is identical. Border lines do not reduce our responsibility. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Yorkie puppy health guarantee — South Africa

Your vet visit within five days activates your coverage, and our WhatsApp support is available to you from that day forward for the life of your Yorkie. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Our guarantee coverage, WhatsApp aftercare, and response commitment are identical for Botswana buyers. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Yorkie puppy health guarantee — Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe families in Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Gweru, and across the country receive the identical guarantee package as South African buyers. We have delivered Yorkshire Terrier puppies to Zimbabwe families successfully with complete documentation, and every guarantee we have issued for a Zimbabwe placement has been honoured without exception. Your 2-year coverage begins the moment your puppy arrives in Zimbabwe. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Yorkie puppy health guarantee — Zambia

For Zambia buyers in Lusaka, Ndola, Kitwe, Livingstone, and across Zambia, our health guarantee is provided with the same full documentation package as every other country we serve. Distance from South Africa does not reduce your coverage or your access to our WhatsApp aftercare support. We have never applied a reduced standard to a cross-border buyer and we never will.

Yorkie puppy health guarantee — Lesotho

Families in Maseru, Leribe, Mafeteng, and across Lesotho receive our complete 2-year health guarantee documentation pack — signed guarantee, vet certificate, vaccination card, deworming records, and feeding guide — identical in every respect to the pack provided to South African buyers. Your coverage is not diminished by your proximity to the South African border or by any cross-border administrative process. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Yorkie puppy health guarantee — Namibia

Buyers in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and across Namibia receive our standard full documentation pack including the South African veterinary export health certificate required for cross-border entry. Our 2-year health guarantee applies from the day your puppy arrives in Namibia, and our lifelong WhatsApp aftercare support is available to you immediately from that day forward.

Why Our Yorkie Puppy Health Guarantee Is Different From Any Other

The South African puppy market — and the broader Southern African pet trade — contains many breeders who claim to offer health guarantees. Some offer verbal assurances. Some include vague language in a WhatsApp message. Some offer short windows of 30 or 60 days. Very few offer a written, signed, two-year document that is specifically named, dated, and enforceable by the buyer. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Here is what makes our guarantee genuinely different from everything else you will encounter:

It is written and signed. Our guarantee is a physical document — signed by us, signed on the date of placement, and given to you as part of your puppy pack. It is not a website page. It is not a screenshot. It is not a verbal promise. It is a document you hold in your hands.

It covers two full years. Two years is more than six times longer than the 90-day guarantees offered by the majority of breeders in South Africa. Two years is the window within which virtually all hereditary and congenital conditions in Yorkshire Terriers will either become apparent or be definitively diagnosed. We chose two years deliberately, because that is what meaningful coverage actually requires.

It covers the conditions that matter. We do not limit our guarantee to a short list of obscure or unlikely conditions. We cover the hereditary and congenital conditions that Yorkshire Terrier buyers actually need to know about — liver shunt, luxating patella, congenital heart defects, and hereditary eye conditions. These are the real concerns for real Yorkie families. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

It applies across six countries without reduction. Our guarantee does not become weaker the further your puppy travels from our home in South Africa. Every buyer in every country receives the same coverage, the same documentation, and the same access to our aftercare support.

It comes from 8 years of experience. Our guarantee is not a marketing tool created by a new breeder trying to compete — it is a commitment built on eight years of dedicated Yorkshire Terrier breeding, hundreds of successful placements, and a track record of standing behind every puppy we have ever placed. Our buyers in Johannesburg, Gaborone, Harare, Lusaka, and Maseru can all speak to the integrity of our programme. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy

Lifelong WhatsApp breeder support — included with every puppy

Our guarantee does not expire when two years have passed. What expires at two years is the formal hereditary and congenital condition coverage. What never expires is our relationship with you and your family, and our commitment to supporting your Yorkshire Terrier’s wellbeing for their entire life. We are available on WhatsApp — seven days a week, every week — to answer questions about feeding, grooming, dental care, exercise, veterinary concerns, and general Yorkshire Terrier health and behaviour. This support is free. It is unlimited. It is for life. And it applies to every buyer in every country we serve. 2 Years Health Guarantee Yorkie Puppy
