Is there a “lemon law” in Georgia concerning pet purchases. How can I make sure I purchase a healthy pet?
Insist of a written purchase contract. It is recommended that persons take newly purchased pets to a veterinarian within 48-72 hours of purchase to have the animal checked by a licensed and accredited veterinarian of your choice. Purchase from licensed pet dealers only. You can request the inspection history information on a licensed establishment under the Georgia Open Records Act. Although there is no “lemon law” concerning pet purchases, the Animal Protection Section does investigate disease and health issues and selling under false pretenses.
