At ToyBox Puppies LLC, every puppy adoption is a serious commitment. Unlike purchasing a product, adopting a puppy is a lifelong responsibility. For this reason, we do not offer returns or refunds on our puppies.
Important Information for Buyers
• Commitment Required
A puppy is a living, breathing companion—not a product that can be returned like clothing or household items. We encourage every family or household to carefully consider the decision together before purchasing.
• Health Guarantee & Care Instructions
Each puppy is sold with a written Health Guarantee and instructions for care. The buyer is expected to follow these directions to ensure the puppy’s well-being.
• Customer Responsibility for Returns
In rare cases where a puppy must be returned, the customer will be responsible for all associated costs, which may include but are not limited to:
• A Healthy Puppy Exam performed by our licensed veterinarian
• Any treatments, care, or expenses necessary if the puppy’s condition is due to neglect, lack of proper care, or failure to follow our health guarantee guidelines
• No Refunds
Purchase fees are non-refundable. If a puppy is returned, ToyBox Puppies LLC will make every effort to rehome the puppy responsibly, but financial reimbursement will not be provided.
Our Priority
Our goal is to place each puppy in a loving, permanent home. We take great care to match our puppies with families who are fully prepared for the lifelong responsibility of dog ownership. Please be sure that every member of your household is ready for this commitment before purchasing a puppy.

Low blood sugar can affect puppies much more often than adult dogs, even when your puppy is healthy, so it's important to learn about low blood sugar symptoms and what to do. The technical term is hypoglycemia and happens most often with adult pets that suffer from diabetes. Sugar moves into the cells with the help of insulin, and too much insulin can cause hypoglycemia.
Puppies almost never have diabetes, but can develop low blood sugar due to intestinal parasites that compromise digestion.
Very small puppies, especially Toy breeds under 6 pounds, are so tiny, they have very few fat stores. Fat is body fuel, and when there’s not enough, the blood sugar levels fall. Adult pets can make up this difference when their liver churns out the necessary sugar. But immature livers can’t manufacture enough necessary sugar and as a result, these tiny pups develop hypoglycemia.
The signs of low blood sugar can be vague. It’s important to watch out for them especially if your puppy is a tiny breed that’s most susceptible. Without enough sugar, the puppy’s heartbeat rate and breathing slows down and that triggers a cascade effect of other symptoms. Be alert for any one or combination of the following signs.
Without prompt attention and first aid, your puppy could die. But fortunately, when you recognize the signs early in the process, low blood sugar is easy to treat and reverse at home.
In almost all cases, the puppy will respond very quickly to treatment, within five or ten minutes. However, if treatment doesn’t reverse the symptoms within this time frame take your puppy to the veterinarian immediately as something else could have caused the signs. Even when your puppy responds quickly it’s a good idea to have the vet check your puppy sometime that day to be sure everything is as it should be.
When you catch the symptoms early and seek treatment immediately, most puppies are fine. But without prompt help puppies can fall into a coma, and their breathing and/or heartbeat may stop. Refer to the articles on rescue breathing and puppy CPR to save your pet’s life.
For All Symptoms. When the blood sugar drops, puppies can’t regulate their body temperature. It’s important to keep him warm until the glucose level rises enough to burn for energy. Wrap your puppy in a blanket, and snuggle him with a hot water bottle or heating pad. This can also slow down the effects of shock.
For Sleepy/Woozy Behavior. Getting sugar into the puppy will counteract all these symptoms. Often, you’ll notice the wooziness when it’s been a while since the puppy’s last meal. So as soon as you notice puppy woozy behavior, offer him something to eat. Make it something smelly and yummy that you know he’ll eagerly snarf up, like a tablespoon or two of canned food.
For Drunk/Shivery Behavior. A highly concentrated sugar source like Karo syrup, pancake syrup or honey can work even more quickly. Just be sure your puppy is still able to swallow before giving him about a teaspoonful of the sugar source. If he’s very groggy, offer a bit of water first and if he won’t lap it up, give some with a syringe. Check to be sure he swallows, and then offer the syrup. He should be able to lap it up from the spoon.
For Seizures/Unconscious. Refer to the tips outlined in the article about seizures in puppies. Once the seizure has finished, or when the puppy has fallen unconscious, you can still administer a sugar source. He doesn’t need to swallow. It will be absorbed directly through the mucus membranes in the puppy’s mouth and transferred into the bloodstream. Honey works best for this. Rub the honey on the inside of his lips and gums, and watch for recovery in five to 15 minutes. You can drive your puppy to the vet clinic during this period.
When your puppy has suffered from a bout of hypoglycemia, you’ll know to be alert for the signs of low blood sugar in the future. You can also take steps to prevent the problem, especially if your puppy is a high-risk pet.
Most adult dogs won’t have problems with hypoglycemia. However, playing and running too hard without rest can cause low blood sugar even in adults that are not Toy breed dogs. It’s up to pet parents to stay watchful and make sure the puppy and maturing dog eat right and maintain healthy food habits.
Sometimes owners have to switch food abruptly, due to a recall or other unforeseen circumstances. Even in this situation, you can help your puppy adjust to a new diet. Try to find a food that closely matches the existing food in ingredients, types of protein, and amounts of fiber and fat.
Give your puppy smaller meals, watching for diarrhea or other issues. If he does well with the first meal, continue to feed him smaller meals than usual and then gradually get back on your old feeding schedule. A little tummy upset is to be expected, but if vomiting, seems sick, or stops eating entirely, consult your veterinarian.
Unlike humans, dogs don't crave variety in their diet. High-quality puppy food has all of the ingredients, in the right proportions, to meet their nutritional needs.
