Every puppy adopted from Puppy Home USA comes vet-checked, vaccinated, and dewormed, but scheduling your own veterinarian visit soon after adoption is an important next step. Here are a few signs it’s time to book that appointment.

If your puppy is due for their next round of vaccinations, showing any changes in appetite or energy, or simply hasn’t seen a vet since coming home, it’s time to schedule a visit. It’s also a great opportunity to discuss microchipping, spay or neuter timing, and a nutrition plan suited to your puppy’s breed.

Regular vet visits during the first year set the foundation for a long, healthy life together.
