Puppyhood can be one of the best times in a pet’s life, but it requires some diligence and special care from loving pet owners. Our puppy wellness program is designed to offer you and your new puppy the best possible veterinary service available. Our service consists of a series of examinations, vaccinations and helping you learn the ins and outs of raising a pup. In addition, your puppy will be tested for intestinal parasites, which can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and/or anemia (low red blood cell count). Although some worms are visible to the naked eye, most worm- burdens are diagnosed microscopically.
Puppies are initially immune to many diseases because of antibodies they receive from their mother’s milk. However, after weaning they need a series of vaccinations in order to develop their own immunities. At 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age your puppy will receive a series of vaccinations including distemper, parvovirus, rabies and possibly bordetella. If you have adopted your pet from a humane society or reputable breeder, s/he may have had an initial set of vaccinations. Providing us with your pet’s vaccine history will help us serve you better.
It is very important to us that we answer all of your questions. Having a new furry friend can be fun, exciting and sometimes challenging; so, please do not hesitate to call us any time!
