Puppy Visits
Give your new puppy the best start in life!
Although every puppy will need routine veterinary care during their first year, each of them will require an individualized plan. Our doctors and support staff are here to help you determine the best possible care plan for your new family member.
The First Year: During their first year, your puppy will require regular visits with their veterinarian. These visits are comprised of physical exams, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing – all of which allow us to keep tabs on your pet’s health as they grow and develop.
In addition to examining your new pet and providing them with vaccines and diagnostics, your veterinarian will discuss other services that could help them live a longer, healthier life, such as spaying and neutering, proper diet/nutrition, flea/tick and heartworm prevention, and more.

- Physical Exams
A lifetime of wellness starts with your pet’s very first physical exam. Unlike adult dogs, puppies require approximately 3-4 exams during their first 8-16 weeks. At those exams, your pet will receive important vaccines and assessments of their overall health. - Vaccines
Because the immune system is still developing, puppies must receive a series of properly staged vaccines including boosters. We tailor our vaccine recommendations based on your pet’s individual lifestyle using guidelines established by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). - Diagnostic Testing
We recommend checking a fecal sample on your puppy to ensure they do not have any intestinal parasites. It is common for puppies to have parasites in their beginning stages of life, and leaving them untreated can be detrimental to their overall health. In addition to a fecal, your puppy should have a heartworm test done within the first 12 months of their life. - DNA + Health Testing
