Thyroid health is another area considered within our adult health-testing program.
Before Going Home
Puppy Veterinary Care & Records
Puppies receive age-appropriate care before pickup or delivery. The records supplied with your puppy help your veterinarian understand the care already completed and plan the next steps.
Because vaccination and deworming schedules continue as puppies grow, new owners should establish care with their own licensed veterinarian after receiving their puppy.
