First Year with a New Puppy

So you’ve brought a new puppy home – congratulations! There’s so much to do, learn, and work on together and we’re here to help. From your puppy’s first vet checkup, to routine vaccines, spay or neuter, regular health check-ins, dentals and more. That’s why our friends at Trupanion have brought you this great guide on what to expect in puppy’s first year. 

What toys are good for a new puppy? Is there any specific diet they need to be on? How much does the breed of my puppy determine what it needs to eat? What if my puppy has allergies? We’re sure you have tons of questions – and this information is a great start, and then of course speaking with your veterinarian and scheduling puppy’s first checkup is always a great idea. It’s important to plan ahead when it comes to health care and puppy expenses so that you can be prepared as they grow – and they do grow fast!

And remember, when it comes to helping navigate the needs of your specific puppy as they develop, we’re always here to help. Contact us for your appointment today!
