Which law provides legal recourse to people who purchase animals from pet dealers that are later found to have a disease or defect?

The Pet Purchase Protection Law is designed specifically to protect consumers who buy animals from pet dealers. This law focuses on ensuring that buyers have legal recourse if they discover that the animal they purchased has a disease or defect that was not disclosed at the time of sale. It provides a framework for pet owners to seek remedies such as refunds, reimbursement for veterinary care, and in some cases, the option to return the animal.

The other options, while related to animal rights and consumer protection, do not specifically address the issues associated with purchasing pets. The Animal Welfare Act primarily focuses on the humane treatment of animals and does not provide consumer protections for buyers. The Companion Animal Law, while supporting the welfare of companion animals, does not specifically provide recourse for pet purchasers. Consumer Protection Law applies broadly to a range of goods and services but does not specifically target the issues unique to purchasing animals from dealers.
