Asked in Contracts and Animal / Dog Law for Florida

Q: should I receive some of my money back?

I brought my puppy for $2,195 because she was just turning 2 months , three days after I got her I had to take her to the vet because she had blood in her stool. I had to sign her back over to the pet store so she can be treated by their vet because they sold me a sick puppy. They kept the money and said she would be better within a couple of days but it has been over a week, and when I called they said they will need to keep her for a few more weeks to do some additional test and by then she will be 3 months+. Should I receive some of my money back for the time lost and me receiving an older puppy?

A: No, not unless the pet store voluntarily gives back some of your money. This situation should NOT be about money. IMO you should be very grateful that the pet store is paying for all the major medical treatments your puppy is undergoing right now. Why not focus on loving your puppy? Have you tried to visit the puppy?
