[nagdu] Pilot's ownership policy was: Re: The membership has spoken, and I am disappointed

Tue Jul 14 19:10:39 UTC 2015

Hi,

    Pilot asks you to fill out a two week, three month and six month vet 
report.  This is to ensure that the dog is still in good health.  We all 
know dogs can develop health problems once we return home.  I have talked to 
graduates who have never sent them in and they still have their dogs so, it 
isn't a big deal.  After that, you only have to send in your itemized vet 
bills if you want to be reimbursed for half of each bill.

Sandra and Eva

I just spoke to a Pilot grad, and donâ?Tt they require you to submit vet 
reports in order to keep your dog?
