Your New Puppy

Your Puppy

Getting a puppy is an exciting time but there are certain essentials you will need to know to ensure your new puppy remains fit and healthy.

Even if your puppy has been vaccinated you should still bring him/her in to have a full vet check. As well as the vet being able to identify any health issues, it will also help your puppy get used to being in the veterinary surgery.

Pet Health Plans 

We also run Pet Health Plans, these were created to make it easy for you to protect your pet and your family against preventable diseases and discomfort by making sure your pet's vaccinations, flea, worm and parasite treatments are kept up to date. By joining our plan when your puppy is young you can benefit from a FREE 2nd Vaccination, FREE microchipping and 10% OFF Neutering. For more information on our Pet Health Plans and how to join click here.
