Preventative Health Care for Your Dog

 Beginning Preventative Care for Puppies:

To ensure that your puppy receives complete preventative care to protect against disease, we recommend a series of visits.  During these visits, your puppy will receive all vaccinations needed to maintain good health.  In addition, a veterinarian will thoroughly examine your puppy to identify any potential problems.

Because your puppy's health and well-being will depend on more than just vaccinations, we will sit down and talk with you about caring for your puppy, training and behavior concerns, and answer any questions that you may have.

Puppy series visit consist of:

• Comprehensive Physical Exam

• Internal parasite (worm) testing and treatment

• Vaccinations based on your puppies individual needs

• Parasite protection program

• Pet owner counseling regarding pet care, housebreaking, behavior problems and socialization

• Microchipping so your dog can be identified if he gets lost
