Puppy Package Vet Visits
Welcoming a new puppy into your family is one of life’s happiest moments—but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. Puppies grow fast, and their early months are the most important time to build a solid foundation for lifelong health. At Portage Park Animal Hospital, our Puppy Wellness Program is designed to make that first year as easy, affordable, and rewarding as possible.
We know that with so many Chicago veterinarians to choose from, finding the right one can feel overwhelming. That’s why we make it simple: when you bring your puppy to us, you’re joining a trusted neighborhood practice that’s been caring for pets for over 40 years. We treat every patient—and every owner—like family, providing comprehensive, compassionate, and effective veterinary care in the heart of Portage Park.
Call (773) 725-0260 today to schedule your puppy’s first visit and see why local families trust Portage Park Animal Hospital for vet care.
What’s Included in Our Puppy Wellness Plan
Our Puppy Wellness Package includes four visits spaced throughout your puppy’s first year and a half. Each visit costs $165 and includes essential vaccinations, parasite screenings, and complete health exams. This structured plan ensures your puppy receives timely protection against common canine illnesses while giving you peace of mind that their development is on track.
When your puppy completes our program, you’ll also receive a 10 percent discount on their spay or neuter surgery—our way of saying thank you for prioritizing preventive care early on.
Visit 1 (6 – 9 Weeks): The First Check-Up
During this visit, our veterinarians perform a comprehensive physical exam to assess your puppy’s heart, lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, and joints. We’ll also perform a fecal exam to check for intestinal parasites and provide deworming medication if needed.
To kickstart your puppy’s immunity, we administer the distemper-parvovirus combination vaccine and a one-month parasite preventative to protect against fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
We know that new pet parents have lots of questions—from potty training to nutrition and dental care—so our team takes time to answer them all. You’ll leave this visit with helpful brochures and resources to guide you through every step of puppy parenthood.
Visit 2 (9 – 12 Weeks): Building Immunity
Roughly three weeks after the first appointment, your puppy returns for another physical exam and a kennel cough (Bordetella) vaccine, which helps prevent one of the most common respiratory infections in dogs. We’ll repeat the fecal exam and deworming treatment to ensure your puppy stays parasite-free and administer another distemper-parvo vaccine booster.
Regular visits like this help us catch any early concerns and monitor your puppy’s growth and behavior.
Call (773) 725-0260 to book your puppy’s next appointment today and keep their wellness plan on schedule.
Visit 3 (12 – 15 Weeks): Strengthening Protection
As your puppy grows, so does their need for added protection. During this exam, our veterinarian conducts another full physical exam and provides additional deworming and vaccination boosters for distemper and parvovirus. Depending on your puppy’s environment and lifestyle, we may also recommend the Lyme disease vaccine or the Canine Influenza vaccine.
These vaccines are particularly important for puppies who visit dog parks, boarding facilities, or grooming salons, as they prevent common contagious diseases found in the Chicago area.
Visit 4 (16 – 18 Weeks): The Final Puppy Visit
The final visit of our Puppy Wellness Plan is a milestone—it means your puppy is fully vaccinated and ready to explore the world safely! This appointment includes a rabies vaccine, a comprehensive physical exam, and a final fecal test to ensure your puppy is parasite-free. If your pet received the Lyme or Influenza vaccines earlier, we’ll provide the necessary booster doses.
We’ll also discuss the next steps for your puppy’s ongoing care, including nutrition, behavior training, and scheduling their spay or neuter surgery.
