Puppy Wellness

Congratulations on your new puppy! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for this new addition to your family.

We are dedicated to getting your puppy started on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your puppy’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help them grow into a well-mannered, healthy dog, including information and advice on nutrition, training, behaviour, and socialization.

Schedule your puppy for their first exam as soon as possible. Until your puppy has received a series of vaccines, they are susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. We will discuss vaccines and appropriate vaccine schedules with you and help determine your pet’s risk to other preventable diseases. We provide vaccines against Distemper, Parvovirus, Rabies, Kennel Cough (Bordetella), Leptospirosis, and Lyme disease.

We recommend bringing a stool sample on your first visit to test for intestinal parasites which are common in puppies and young dogs. This helps us find common intestinal parasites that can cause gastrointestinal signs, such as diarrhea or soft stool and vomiting, though not all pets show signs. We administer deworming treatments which will provide coverage for roundworms, hookworms and whipworms. If necessary, we will treat for other intestinal parasites such as giardia, coccidia, and flea tape worm.
