Congratulations on your new puppy! It is so exciting when we add an animal companion to our family. It is important that we know the basics as we are responsible for their safety and well-being.

After your puppy receives his or her first series of vaccination a customized schedule will be established according to your pet’s needs and the latest scientific findings. If your puppy is unlikely to contract certain diseases he or she will not receive that particular vaccination.
Always keep identification tags on your puppy. For added protection, we recommend HomeAgain® microchip identification and registration. This type of permanent ID can be performed at any time, but many people find it convenient to do during a neuter or spay procedure.
