Congratulations on your new puppy!

Annual Visits
To have a happy and healthy pet , your dog needs to receive an annual check-up plus the DHPPL vaccine, Heartworm testing and a stool test each year. The first Rabies vaccine is a 1 year, and then the Rabies vaccine is given every 3 years. The Lyme vaccine and kennel cough vaccines are given yearly if needed.
Heartworm Disease
Heartworm disease is a parasite that is transmitted by bites from infected mosquitoes. The "microfilaria" then travel to the heart to attach and reproduce. It is a serious disease that is more easily prevented than treated. It is important that we preform blood test every Spring and put your dog on heartworm prevention monthly for entire mosquito season to prevent this disease.
