What is the puppy lemon law and how does it protect consumers who purchase puppies?

The puppy lemon law is a consumer protection law that applies to the sale of puppies. It typically requires sellers to provide certain guarantees about the health and condition of the puppy at the time of sale. If the puppy develops a serious health issue shortly after purchase, the law may entitle the consumer to a refund, replacement, or reimbursement for veterinary expenses. This law aims to protect consumers from purchasing sick or defective puppies.
