A BETTER WARRANTY ON SICK PUPPIES. From Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax, in an effort to cut down on interstate trafficking of sick puppies: “Requires a pet dealer to reimburse certain veterinary fees when a consumer returns or retains a diseased dog or cat, live or dead, that has been certified by a veterinarian as being unfit for purchase. Current law requires the pet dealer to refund the purchase price or exchange the unfit pet for a pet of equivalent value. The bill extends the return or reimbursement period from 10 to 20 days and eliminates the condition that the animal be pedigreed.” An aide in Petersens office says the bill is designed to cut down on the importation of animals from states that don’t regulate puppy mills as tightly as Virginia. styleweekly/richmond/more-animal-bills/Content?oid=2021253
