welcoming a new puppy into your
household promises for many more kisses
much more time outdoors and much more
responsibility hi I’m Veronica
watchmojo.com and today we’re speaking
with dr. Fraser on everything you need
to know when it comes to your puppy’s
health at what age is your puppy first
visit the vet a puppy should come in
about during the first week that you’ve
gotten him usually that’s at about six
to eight weeks old it depends on where
you’ve gotten him from you should bring
him in just to have a full checkup make
sure that everything’s okay and at that
point they’ll probably get their basic
vaccines if you get them later though
it’s fine to bring them in whenever but
usually within the first week that
you’ve gotten him and at about sixty
weeks now for some people this is often
their first dog so what are some things
they should expect during my first visit
your first visit to a veterinarian if
you have a puppy or a kitten you’ll
usually have a full checkup to make sure
they’re in good health and usually
depending on what you’ve had already
done they’ll get their first set of
vaccines other things that most vets
will do will d warm them if they’re a
little puppy or kitten because most of
them will have a little something other
than that will usually talk about
various behavior issues like puppy
training house training things like that
what vaccines are important for your dog
to get there’s a combination vaccine
that covers four of the major
transmissible diseases of dogs it’s
December virus hepatitis virus parent
lens of virus and the parvo virus there
you go I know eventually at about four
months old they’ll also be vaccinated
for rabies at what age do you have them
spayed or neutered we do most animals at
about six months old the reason we do
this is because we try especially for
dogs to get it done before they go into
their first heat doing it that way it
does help reduce the risk for developing
mammary cancer down the line that having
been said you can do it later as well
and still minimize the risk now dogs are
often nervous when it comes to visiting
the vet are there any tips you have to
making the experience more enjoyable the
best advice I can give is to
occasionally if you just happen to be in
the neighborhood bring your dog in
without going to see the vet without
getting a needle without getting
anything bad done maybe give them a
couple of treats just have a good time
in there and then
walk out is there anything to look for
that maybe shows that your dog’s not
feeling so well anything that if it were
happening to you and you think that you
would feel bad is generally a good sign
that your puppy is not doing so well if
you know usually you have a bouncy happy
puppy and all of a sudden he’s flat and
not moving he’s not eating the way he
used to protracted vomiting and diarrhea
is always a concern new a new cough and
you sneeze is there anything that you
wish people knew about their dogs health
care I think dental problems are one of
the more underappreciated aspects these
days of pet health care if we didn’t
brush our teeth for 10 12 years they
would start looking pretty gross other
things that just help are in terms of
general puppy behavior is our claim with
their paws and ears because part of our
routine exams are always to look at
those areas and they tend to be areas
where dogs get sensitive but otherwise I
think most people have a pretty good
handle on their pet’s health well thank
you very much thank you is nice talking
to you
