Returns & Refunds
Clear policies. No surprises.
How refunds are handled at Emillie's Yorkie Puppies. Spelled out before you commit, with no fine print games.
At A Glance
How our refunds work, in four lines.
Eligibility, timing, and the people behind every case.
Eligibility
Health protection during the first 30 days, reviewed against documented vet evidence.
Processing Time
Approved refunds are typically issued within 7 to 14 business days to the original payment method.
Conditions
Each case is reviewed individually against records, handover notes, and the agreement on file.
Support
Real people walk you through every step. Real calls and emails, no scripts.
Refund Eligibility
What is and what is not eligible.
Honesty up front so there are no surprises later.
Cases we cover

Payment Terms
How deposits and balances are handled.
Three rules that govern every payment, whatever the puppy.
Required to reserve a puppy. Refundable if your application is declined by us.
Due before pickup or delivery and settles the adoption agreement.
All payments are handled by certified third-party processors. We do not store full card details ourselves.
Refund Process
Step by step, from request to resolution.
The exact path every refund request follows.
Submit Request
Email us or use the contact form within 30 days of handover.
Document Review
We compare your vet diagnosis and records to our handover notes.
Resolution Offer
Vet cost assistance, a replacement puppy, or a refund. You choose what fits best.
Funds Returned
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method, with written confirmation.
Refund Options
Three ways we settle a covered case.
Pick the resolution that suits the situation, the family, and the puppy.
Full Refund
Issued when we cannot complete the adoption or a covered claim falls fully within scope.
Partial Refund
Where elements such as transport, vet prep, or paperwork remain payable.
Replacement Puppy
Where a covered claim and the family would prefer a replacement to a refund.
Cancellation Policy
Where you stand at each stage.
Cancellations land differently depending on how far the adoption has progressed.
No commitment yet. You can step away at any time, no questions asked.
Refundable if we decline your application. Non-refundable if you choose to cancel.
Limited refund based on costs already incurred (transport booked, vet prep, etc.).
Health Guarantee terms apply. See the Health Guarantee policy for full coverage.
Non-Refundable
Cases that fall outside refund cover.
A short list of situations where a refund cannot be issued. Local consumer protection law overrides anything below if it grants stronger rights.
- Voluntary cancellation after a deposit was committed to a confirmed match
- Travel or transport costs already incurred on your behalf
- Personal items shipped with the puppy at the family's request (collar, toys, etc.)
- Cases where required documentation is not provided within a reasonable window
- Where consumer protection law in your jurisdiction grants stronger rights, those still apply
