Puppy Care

Bringing a new puppy into the household is very exciting and sometimes people forget to ask basic questions.  We recommend asking what food your puppy is being fed, how much and how often.  Replicate that schedule until your first puppy visit with us.  Ask if the puppy is up to date on vaccines and for a copy of the vaccines given.  Be sure to ask if the puppy has been dewormed or given any other medication.  Bring all this information with you to your first visit.

Afer bringing your new puppy home and getting them acclimated to their new environment, please schedule their initial visit with Dr. Deavers.  This is the first crucial step in their lifelong health.  The initial visit will include an exam where we develop a customized wellness program for your puppys’ optimal health.  We will make recommendations on diet, vaccinations, and parasite preventatives including heartworms, intestinal parasites, fleas and ticks.

During the first visit we will work to learn your expectations of us as caregivers for your puppy and start building our relationship.  At this visit we will answer any questions you may have and provide you with the tools and information to make your relationship with your puppy amazing.

• A thorough “nose to tail” exam
