Bringing home a new puppy is one of life's most exciting experiences, but it also comes with important responsibilities for their health and wellbeing. At MyPets Veterinary Urgent Care & Wellness, we understand that the first few months of your puppy's life are critical for establishing a foundation of good health that will last throughout their lifetime.

Our comprehensive puppy care program is designed to address all aspects of your new companion's health needs, from essential vaccinations and parasite prevention to nutritional guidance and behavioral counseling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about puppy care and health

When should I bring my new puppy in for their first visit?

We recommend scheduling your puppy's first wellness exam within 48-72 hours of bringing them home, especially if they're under 16 weeks old. This allows us to establish baseline health, discuss vaccination schedules, and address any immediate concerns about your puppy's health or behavior.

What vaccinations does my puppy need and when?

Puppies typically receive their first DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza) vaccine at 6-8 weeks, with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Rabies vaccination is given at 12-16 weeks. We may also recommend additional vaccines like Bordetella, Lyme, or Leptospirosis based on your puppy's lifestyle and risk factors.

When should I spay or neuter my puppy?

The optimal timing varies by breed and size. For small to medium breeds, we typically recommend spaying/neutering between 4-6 months. For large breed dogs, we may recommend waiting until 6-12 months to allow for proper growth plate development. We'll discuss the best timing for your specific puppy during your visits.

How often should my puppy be dewormed?

Most puppies are born with or acquire intestinal parasites from their mother. We typically recommend deworming every 2-3 weeks starting at 2-3 weeks of age until 12 weeks old, then monthly until 6 months. We'll perform fecal exams to monitor for parasites and adjust the deworming schedule as needed.

What should I feed my puppy and how much?

Puppies need high-quality puppy food formulated for their life stage and breed size. Small breed puppies need small breed puppy food, while large breeds need large breed formulations. Feeding amounts vary by age, weight, and activity level. We'll provide specific feeding guidelines and monitor your puppy's growth to ensure proper nutrition.
