• All vaccinations will be current for one year after the fourth visit.
• Special cases such as rottweilers, pit bulls, dobermans, etc. should be given a DHPPC booster at six months of age. This can be given at the same time as the spay/neuter.

Heartworm Prevention-this should be started around two months of age and given once monthly year round. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can affect any dog. We recommend doing a blood test every other year to be sure there are no problems.

Spaying/Neutering-we recommend this to be done at six months of age. Having your pet spayed or neutered can prevent many serious health and behavioral problems in the future.

• Post-operative pain medications may be administered, as the Doctor deems necessary.

Presurgical Blood Screening-this is a simple blood test we recommend prior to anesthetizing your pet for surgery. It will give us information on your pet’s ability to metabolize any anesthesia that may be given. If your pet is not on heartworm prevention prior to surgery, we strongly recommend a blood test for that as well. This can be done up to ten days prior to surgery.

Microchips-this is a small, permanent means of identification should your pet become lost. It is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted beneath the skin between the shoulder blades. The number on that microchip is then sent into a national registry where you can be notified 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and holidays should someone find your pet.

Fleas and Ticks-there are several new products available to help keep fleas and ticks under control. Prevention of fleas and ticks is definitely the key. Ask us how we can help you learn which product would be best for you and your pet.
