We affirmed the Special Civil Part judgment awarding
plaintiff damages after the puppy she purchased from defendant
pet dealer died five days after the sale. The Pet Purchase
Protection Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-92 to -97 (PPPA) governs
consumers' rights when a cat or dog is purchased from a pet
shop. Pet dealers are subject to the Consumer Fraud Act,
N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 to -166, and the regulations promulgated there
under by the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs.
N.J.A.C. 13:45A-12.1 to -12.3.
