Your initial exam will consist of a full physical health evaluation in addition to a fecal exam to test for intestinal parasites. We are also happy to provide you with deworming medication and a combination vaccine that combines both distemper and parvovirus. Finally, your first appointment also includes a one-month parasite preventative.

We know you may have questions for us about your transition into being a puppy parent, which is why we also offer pamphlets and brochures on puppy health to help answer your questions. Please use us as a resource and ask us questions as they arise, we want you to feel confident about taking care of your puppy.

About 3 weeks following your first appointment, you will visit our veterinarian near Chicago for the second appointment. In addition to another physical health exam, we will provide your puppy with a kennel cough vaccine, a fecal exam and deworming medication. Your new puppy will also need another distemper and parvo combination vaccine.

When your puppy is around 12-15 weeks or about 3 weeks after the second wellness appointment, they are due for their third appointment. We will provide another fecal exam, another round of deworming medication, a complete physical health exam and another distemper and parvo combination vaccine.

If needed, we will also provide your puppy with a Lyme or Influenza vaccine during this exam.

The final puppy wellness appointment includes a fecal exam, a rabies vaccine, and a complete physical health exam. If your puppy needs another Lyme or Influenza vaccine, we will also provide another booster for them.
