Health Information
Health and Welfare of your puppy is most important for its smooth transition into your home!

We work hand-in-hand with our veternarian to ensure the optimum health of each puppy.

We have much knowledge and experience in administering vaccinations, worming, and treating common problems. If we don't know we never hesitate to give our vet a call, even if he is at home he is always there when we need him!!

Vaccination Schedule

Our typical vaccination schedule is a bit delayed then the standard. We usually keep our puppies with momma until 7-8 weeks to ensure proper development. We feel an extra week or two of momma's love and milk can't hurt a thing!

We administer the following vaccinations depending upon how long/short the puppy stays with us:

Age date Vaccination details 
 7-8 weeks 

 


Parvo, Corona, Distemper, Leptospira, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus Type 1 & 2(Duramune Max 5)  (Subcutaneous or under the skin Vaccination)

Worming Schedule

Puppies are wormed biweekly from age 2 weeks until they leave. Pet owners are advised to continue a worming schedule with a monthly wormer such as Interceptor.

Our babies are vaccinated and wormed, and their health is ensured by a veternary check. Should we have any problems the puppies visit our vet as soon as possible.
