Whenever you sell or buy a dog it is a good idea to document the transaction in writing. Although it may appear that both the Buyer and Seller are in agreement on all issues, without a written bill of sale misunderstandings and disputes can easily occur. A bill of sale will help the parties by: 1) forcing discussion of topics before the deal is completed (e.g. warranty coverage, lineage, etc.) and 2) if a problem does occur, the written agreement can be easily accessed for clarification or evidence. Furthermore, a bill of sale can also help the Buyer prove to third parties that he/she owns the dog.

This form can be used in Maryland.

This package contains (1) Instructions & Checklist for Dog Bill of Sale; (2) Information for Dog Bill of Sale; and (3) Dog Bill of Sale (the โ€œBill of Saleโ€)
