Important Puppy Care Reminders
- Puppies commonly need routine deworming because intestinal parasites can be present even when a puppy appears healthy.
- Fecal testing can help identify parasites that may require specific treatment.
- Vaccination schedules can vary depending on when the puppy’s vaccine series begins.
- Bordetella, Lyme, and canine influenza vaccines may be recommended based on your dog’s lifestyle and exposure risks.
- Staying consistent with wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention helps protect your dog throughout every stage of life.
