MI SB0574

Expands the scope of 1969 PA 287 to regulate the sale of dogs and cats and provide protections for purchasers, adding a new definition of "breeder" and "pet dealer"

Defines a dog or cat as unfit for sale if a veterinarian certifies within 30 days that it has symptoms of a contagious or infectious disease that existed at time of purchase, or within 90 days that it has a hereditary or congenital defect

Requires pet shops, pet dealers, breeders, and persons selling dogs or cats for profit (including those selling more than 1 litter under 6 months or 2 animals over 6 months per year) to offer purchasers a full refund, exchange, or veterinary fee reimbursement (up to purchase price) if an animal is unfit for sale

Allows purchasers whose animal dies to receive a replacement of equal value and veterinary reimbursement, or a full refund of the purchase price

Preserves all other legal rights and remedies available to purchasers under existing law
