Annual vaccinations include immunization against Rabies, Parvovirus, Distemper virus, Parainfluenza virus, Adenovirus, Coronavirus, Bordetella, and Leptospirosis Administration of Leptospirosis vaccine depends on the size and breed of your dog.
Yearly Heartworm testing and intestinal parasite screening.
Heartworm prevention. Our first choice for heartworm prevention is Proheart 6 or Proheart 12, an injectable heartworm prevention that patients receive every 6 months. Of all the preventatives available, Proheart is the most effective at preventing heartworm disease. We also carry monthly preventatives such as Heartguard.
Monthly flea prevention. We recommend Bravecto, NexGard, and Comfortis.
Annual dental cleanings
Microchip identification
Puppy Care
A routine puppy vaccination series includes vaccinations at 6, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. The 16 week vaccines include a Rabies vaccination. Puppies are especially susceptible to the disease listed below (under recommendations for adult dogs) so vaccinations are a vital step toward insuring a healthy puppy.Intestinal parasite treatment or “de-worming” at 6, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. Puppies should also be screened for other intestinal parasites and treated accordingly at these ages.Depending on your pet’s size we usually send home heartworm and flea prevention at each 8, 12, and 16 week appointments. Puppies cannot receive Proheart 6 until they are 6 months of age; therefore we send you home with heartworm preventative until your puppy is that age.We recommend that all male and female dogs not intended for planned breeding be spayed or neutered at 6 months of age.
