A dog / puppy bill of sale is a form that is used when a buyer purchases a canine from a breeder or seller. It proves that the buyer has paid for the pet and that the seller has officially given up ownership. Once signed, the seller is not responsible if the dog or puppy is injured or falls ill. An exception is if they failed to disclose the pet’s medical history or predisposition to disease prior to the sale.
A dog / puppy bill of sale is a legal document that is completed when selling or acquiring a canine. Breeders commonly fill out this form when selling a litter of puppies, although it can be used for dogs of any age or type.
It includes the name, address, phone number (#), and email of the buyer and seller so that they can contact one another following the sale. Additionally, it contains a full description of the dog or puppy so that it can be identified if needed.
Similar to a receipt, the document is used to record the type of payment and the amount paid. Both parties sign to verify that the transaction took place and the information in the form is correct.
