What happens at a puppy health check?
Your puppy’s first visit to the vet is more than just a check-up; it’s the start of their lifelong care.
Here’s what we include in a typical puppy health check:
Comprehensive physical exam
We check ears, eyes, teeth, heart, lungs, joints, coat, and more to make sure your pup is developing well.
Vaccination plan
We’ll start your puppy’s vaccinations and explain the full schedule.
Worming, flea and lungworm treatment advice
Puppies need regular parasite protection, including prevention for potentially deadly lungworm. We’ll guide you on what, when, and how.
Microchipping advice
We’ll discuss when to microchip your dog, a legal requirement by 8 weeks of age in the UK.
Feeding and nutrition
From portion sizes to brand advice, we help you choose what’s best for your pup’s breed and size.
Toilet training tips
Got questions about house training? We’ve got answers.
Behaviour and socialisation
