Puppy Care
When a new puppy comes into your life, our goal is to provide the care necessary to make your puppy a happy, healthy, and loved member of your family. During a series of first visits, we will:
- Provide a complete physical examination to uncover any potential problems
- Perform an intestinal parasite exam and do the appropriate treatment
- Administer appropriate vaccines
- Provide information regarding diet, training, exercise, and behavior problems
- Start your puppy on appropriate heart-worm, flea and tick preventative
- Answer your questions
Puppy Vaccines
We will vaccinate your dog against Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus, Canine Parainfluenza, and Rabies.
There are other vaccines that are given in certain circumstances. These include Bordetella bronchisepta, Leptospirosis, and Lyme Disease. Each puppy will be evaluated on an individual basis as to the need for these vaccines.
