Puppies are good.  We are in favor of puppies. We think everyone should have a puppy.  Here's what you need to know to make your puppy experience a good puppy experience.



Having a puppy is a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy things that chew, lick, poop, and whine.  Seriously, a new puppy can be a real source of joy.  Like most good things, however, owning a puppy comes with a price:  The obligation to take care of your puppy's needs.  Fortunately, puppies don't need very much.  Just good food, shelter, love, discipline, and some basic health care needs.


You are in charge of the food, shelter, love, and discipline.  We will take care of the health needs.  Most of the time, we will need to see a puppy three times the first year.  During the three visits, we will evaluate your puppy's health, growth, and devopment.  We will administer the vaccines he or she so vitally needs.  And we will talk about various health topics as we go.  

The three most important things you can do for your puppy are:
 
1)   Get the vaccinations done
 
2)   Get them done on time, and 

3)   Get them done correctly. 
 

The first vaccinations need to be given at 8 weeks of age, and will cost between $38 and $58, depending on how old your puppy actually is and what vaccines need to be given.

We follow the new AAHA vaccination guidelines.  This means that we use some different vaccines and give them less often than in the past.  Click here to go to an explanation of the New Vaccination Guidelines.


We have three e-handouts, one for each puppy visit.  Click on the links below to go to the appropriate e-handout.
