Preparing Your Puppy for His First Visit to the Veterinarian

If you’re welcoming a puppy into your home, take him to see a “veterinarian near me” at our “animal hospital near me.” Through routine exams, a vet can look over your puppy and ensure that it’s in good health. It’s also wise to get vaccines as soon as your puppy is old enough to get them. If you live near Reisterstown, MD, get in touch with our veterinary team at TLC for Pets to help your puppy get the care needs.

Your Puppy’s First Visit

First, if you have any paperwork for your puppy, including documents provided by a breeder, it may be smart to gather them and bring them in. A veterinarian on our team can look over the paperwork to help develop a better understanding of your puppy’s situation. If you know anything about your puppy’s lineage that can’t be found in the paperwork, it may be a good idea to go ahead and write that down. In some cases, a breeder or the breeder’s vet may have given your puppy some vaccines. If that’s the case, you’ll want to bring in any paperwork explaining that.

It might be a good idea to play with your puppy a few hours before visiting the vet. If you wear your pup out, he or she may be less excitable when in the vet’s office. Make sure you don’t simply wind your companion up before stopping by, however.

Bring Your Questions

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding your puppy, it’s smart to jot those down. You might wonder what diet he should have or how often he should be groomed. A vet near you on our team can provide professional insights.
