Take Your New Puppy To The Vet

Schedule a visit to a veterinarian for your new puppy. Vaccinations need to be given at certain times, worming as well. In recent years a lot has been said about all these vaccinations with our pets, you will have to decide that matter for yourself. I always made sure our puppies got all their early vaccinations and wormings when necessary. I kept up their vaccinations annually for their entire lives. In most metropolitan areas, you have to keep vaccinations current as most animal care facilities require this. I do agree with the advice the first breeder we bought from gave, take your puppy or dog to the vet as little as possible. You might wonder, why? The reality is, this is where sick animals are and you do not want to expose your puppy or dog to that kind of environment. For a basic vaccination schedule visit our website.

The early regime of vaccinations is very important to the health of your little pup, so it is a good idea to make sure they get those vaccinations. There are some websites on the internet where you can purchase the vaccination vials and syringes and administer the shots yourself. Some individuals feel comfortable doing this; we have even done this ourselves. It is definitely cheaper than a trip to the vet. They are also mobile vet services that come to local pet stores on a weekly basis. This is another alternative to a regular veterinarian visit and also is cheaper. Some of these mobile veterinarian services do regular exams, lab work, implant microchips, and other services. The rabies vaccinations must be administered by a licensed veterinarian, the first shot should be given at 4 months of age.
