Prevention Saves Money
Preventive care costs far less than treating diseases that could have been prevented. Regular checkups catch problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat.

Common Questions
When should I schedule my puppy's first vet visit?
We recommend scheduling your puppy's first visit as soon as possible after bringing them home, ideally within the first few days. Early veterinary care helps establish a health baseline, ensures your puppy is off to a healthy start, and allows your veterinarian to begin mapping out a care plan tailored to your new companion.
How many puppy visits will my dog need in their first year?
Puppies typically require a series of visits during their first few months of life to complete their initial vaccination series and monitor their growth and development. Most puppies will need to be seen every three to four weeks until around sixteen weeks of age, followed by additional visits as recommended by your veterinarian throughout their first year.
Should I be concerned about bringing my unvaccinated puppy to the vet?
It is a common concern among new pet owners, and a valid one. While it is important to limit your puppy's exposure to unknown animals before they are fully vaccinated, veterinary visits are essential and should not be delayed. We take every precaution to keep our clinic environment clean and safe so your puppy can receive the care they need without unnecessary risk.
What happens during a puppy visit?
During a puppy visit your veterinarian will perform a full physical examination, assess your puppy's overall health and development, discuss and begin their vaccination schedule, recommend parasite prevention, and address any questions you have about nutrition, behavior, and care. It is also a great opportunity to get your puppy comfortable with the veterinary experience from an early age.
What vaccinations will my puppy receive during their visits?
Core vaccines for puppies typically include distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and rabies. Depending on your puppy's lifestyle and environment, your veterinarian may also recommend additional vaccines such as Bordetella or leptospirosis. Your veterinarian will create a personalized vaccination schedule to ensure your puppy is fully protected.
What can I do at home between puppy visits to keep my puppy healthy?
Between visits, focus on providing a balanced age-appropriate diet, keeping up with any parasite prevention prescribed by your veterinarian, beginning gentle socialization and basic training, and monitoring your puppy for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. Do not hesitate to reach out to us between appointments if something does not seem right — we are always happy to help.
