It all starts with choosing our breeders. We carefully screen our breeders and only work with those who meet our industry-leading standards. Once a breeder has been accepted into our community, we continue to ensure that they are raising healthy puppies by requiring comprehensive health evaluations for every puppy they place through Poms Farm Breeders. Each breeder is required to keep their puppies up-to-date on all vaccinations and de-wormings and every puppy must pass a thorough health check before being allowed to travel. Finally, as an additional check and to activate your puppy's Health Guarantee, we ask that you take your puppy to a licensed veterinarian within 48 hours of receiving your puppy, so we can be sure that your puppy is happy and healthy from the moment he or she arrives at your home.

We are more than just a service, and our relationship with you continues well beyond the day your puppy comes home. We are puppy lovers ourselves and wish nothing would ever go wrong with any puppy, but a puppy's health is dependent on a number of factors like genetics, exercise, food & nourishment, and overall care that are not always within our control. While we can't guarantee that your puppy will never have a health problem, we can promise we will do our best to ensure your new family member is healthy from the moment he or she arrives home!

The health of your puppy is our primary concern which is why, in addition to all that we do to try to ensure your puppy is happy and healthy when he or she arrives, we also provide an industry-leading Health Guarantee. For more details about our guarantee.

Health Check
Puppy Health is Our #1 Priority
As part of the Poms Farm Difference, we are committed to placing healthy puppies into happy homes. To accomplish this, we have a number of measures in place to ensure the health of our puppies.

POMS FARM BREEDERS HEALTH TEAM
​
Our dedicated Poms FARM Health Team is comprised of experts on puppy and adult dog care, including a consulting licensed veterinarian, Dr. Brandon Sinn, DVM and several experienced veterinary technicians.

Meet Dr. Brandon Sinn, DVM
Dr. Brandon Sinn is Poms Farm Breeders Consulting Veterinarian. Among his many responsibilities, he reviews veterinary records, interfaces with breeder and customer veterinarians, reviews and updates Poms Farm's proprietary vaccination and deworming protocols and Veterinary Health Reports which breeders are required to complete before releasing a puppy, trains health team employees, and provides expert guidance on health questions as they arise
POMS FARM BREEDERS EXTENSIVE HEALTH CHECK PROCESS

The Poms Farm Health Team created a more than 30-point checklist to confirm and reconfirm that every puppy meets the company’s best-in-class health standards. The checklist is implemented after each puppy undergoes a comprehensive nose-to-tail health evaluation required to be completed by the breeder’s licensed veterinarian. The results of this health evaluation are reported through our mandatory Veterinary Health Report (VHR) to be completed shortly before your puppy comes home to ensure the puppy is healthy and the check was recent. The report is then reviewed for any issues or concerns noted by the breeder’s veterinarian. Once the puppy arrives home, we require you to bring him or her to your own veterinarian within two business days after arrival to re-verify the puppy’s health and activate our Health Guarantee.
About Poms farm Veterinary Health Report

Certified by a third-party, licensed veterinarian, the VHR requires an examination of a puppy’s ears, eyes, mouth, teeth, gums, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, skin and coat, gastrointestinal system, and external genitalia.
Poms Farm Breeder Standard
Poms Farm requires all of its breeder partners to maintain a Program of Veterinary Care (PVC), have a formal relationship with an attending USDA-accredited veterinarian, implement daily exercise programs and dog-safe behavioral enrichment, report and address any issues, and much, much more. Please visit our Poms Farrm Standards page to learn more.

If a breeder partner fails to adhere to any aspect of Poms Farm's health standards, we automatically investigate and, if appropriate, remove them from our network.
