Vaccination and Deworming Protocol

Will The Puppy Have Vaccinations And Deworming Before Coming Home?

Yes! Your puppy will be fully up-to-date on all shots and vaccinations! The puppies are typically de-wormed a minimum of 3 times before they go home (e.g. at 3, 4, 7 weeks) and have their first 2 sets of vaccinations by 8 weeks old. The next set of shots will be due around 2-3 weeks from then.  It is important to keep your puppy on schedule for their puppy vaccinations. Your vet can discuss the best plan at your first vet appointment when the puppy goes home.  

There will be a Health Record in the paperwork that comes with your puppy. Make sure you take this with you to your vet. This will show your vet all the shots and vaccinations that your puppy has had, and he will be able to get you on the right schedule to finish out your puppy's shots.  

Please note that puppies may pick up common parasites, such as giardia, coccidia, roundworm, etc. We do a lot to prevent and eliminate these parasites by putting dogs and pups on a strict deworming program, disinfecting a lot, and more. However, mother dogs tend to be more vulnerable to parasites when they have puppies, and may pass parasites along to the pups. Depending on the life cycle of the particular parasite, it is possible that a few pups will go home with one. We ask that you have your puppy checked by a vet within 72 hours of taking them home. If for any reason your puppy does not check through clear and needs some sort of treatment or medication, we will reimburse you 100% for that cost. But only if you take your puppy to a Licensed Veterinary within 72 hours.
