Is there a "lemon law" in Georgia concerning pet purchases. How can I make sure I purchase a healthy pet?

Insist of a written purchase contract. It is recommended that persons take newly purchased pets to a veterinarian within 48-72 hours of purchase to have the animal checked by a licensed and accredited veterinarian of your choice. Purchase from licensed pet dealers only. You can request the inspection history information on a licensed establishment under the Georgia Open Records Act. Although there is no ``lemon law" concerning pet purchases, the Animal Protection Section does investigate disease and health issues and selling under false pretenses.
