Puppy’s Second Vet Visit
Puppy Visit Overview
Yay! You've made it to your pup's next vet visit! Just to recap, here’s what to expect at each veterinary visits at Carolina Ranch. Between 8 and 16 weeks of age, we’ll want to see your puppy every 3-4 weeks. At each visit, we'll do the following:
VACCINATIONS – Your puppy’s doctor and nurse will give the appropriate vaccinations based on age and lifestyle. INTESTINAL PARASITE PREVENTION – We’ll perform a fecal test at each puppy visit so please bring a stool sample to your puppy’s appointment. We’ll also deworm your puppy at each visit. PREVENTIONS – We’ll ensure your puppy has the appropriate heartworm and flea/tick prevention for their weight at each visit. EDUCATION – We’ll provide handouts and educational information to help you and your puppy navigate puppyhood successfully.
