Gainesville Florida Veterinary Health Packages for Puppies.

Puppies are usually adopted at 6 to 8 weeks of age. Examination, vaccination, worming, and parasite control should begin at this time. If a pup is younger, early examination and treatment is beneficial. Pups should be seen at 3 week intervals until the age of 4 months. The last 2 visits must be no more than 3 weeks apart. If vaccinations are begun for a pup older than 4 months, 3 week boosters are still needed.

Each puppy plan visit includes a complete physical examination by the doctor. Fecal flotations are performed at regular intervals to detect intestinal parasites. Vaccinations are administered on schedule. Each pup receives a free dose of heartworm preventative, advantage, a high quality free control product, and preventative deworming. An additional visit can be scheduled at no charge if a problem occurs.

Basic, standard and select packages differ by the addition of elective vaccines. The basic package includes important baseline vaccinations - including parvo virus and rabies - which are required for all dogs. Bordetella or kennel cough is a serious contagious disease which is epidemic in this community. Any dog in contact with other dogs is at risk for this infection; immunization is required for any hospital or kennel stay. Corona virus is an intestinal virus which can be transmitted by direct or indirect contact with other dogs. Lymes Disease is transmitted by ticks - dogs who visit wooded areas are at increased risk. Basic, standard and select plans are completed at 4 months of age, while Optimal plans last a full year, continuing after the initial series to include full-service spays or neuters, semi-annual and quarterly health maintenance.
