Labrador Retriever

And then comes the day for the first check up with the Vet.

We can consider two things here:

1. You have with you and adult dog.
2. You have with you a puppy

When you have a newly acquired dog it helps to have a check up with the Vet just to make sure it’s not carrying any form of sickness which may be contagious to your other dogs or also just to be sure that your dog is healthy.

When do I have my dog checked?

A good once a year check up would do, but if you are afraid that your dog might have a weaker immune system or may be in need of constant check up then every 3 months would do. It’s very important to bring your dog during daytime and not during night time so that you will be able to take notice of your dog and there won’t be any fluctuations in the sleeping pattern.

What do I have to bring?

What should I bring to the Vet? Here’s a small list of stuff to bring when going to the vet:

• A towel, so your pooch can be comfortable in his crate
• A crate (or in some cases a dog seatbelt)
• Water
• Treats
• Dog book (or your doggy records if already provided)
• Phone (in case of emergencies)
• Leash

After you have prepared this you may move on to the next step.
