Vet Exam
Your Puppy’s First Visit to Your Vet
(Click Here for PDF Version)
As stated on the Health Guarantee and Contract Page that has been read and confirmed understood, A “General Wellness Exam” needs to be preformed by your Vet within three days of you receiving your Puppy. Being as we fly our Puppies on Wednesdays, You would have Wed, Thurs, Friday and Sat. to have this done. In the event that an appointment cannot be made until the following Monday let us know that via phone call or e-mail.
The Full Medical Record sent with Puppy must be presented to your Vet. thus they will see what Puppy has been given and may continue on with the recommended schedule for your Puppy.
Also e-mail or call us with the report from the Vet after having this exam done.
Your Puppy has completed our Full Medical Record which is standard procedure and has proven successful over the years to us. Below is the continued schedule of needed medications up to the age of 16 weeks. This continued schedule of Vaccinations must be followed also. Parker Kennel is standing behind our Puppies and want the best for them, this schedule is what we would do after the age of eight weeks.
Our Main concern is in the Vac’s and type, and also when the treatment for heartworms is started. These are very serious to us and the health of your Puppy.
- Next Vac. 5 Way/Parvo/Distemper/etc to be at 12 weeks of age (or Min. one week after receiving Puppy)
- Next Vac. 5 Way/Parvo/Distemper/etc to be at 16 weeks of age (or Min. one week after receiving Puppy)
Your Vet may want to add Lepto and Bordetella vac’s to this schedule based on their recommendations for your area.
- The yearly countdown for the Vac. 5 way starts at the 16th week.
- Rabies Vac not to be done until 16 weeks of age.
- Heartworm tablets not to be started until 12 weeks of age.
Standard Wormers/Albon treatments, schedule recommended by your Vet upon the General Wellness exam are accepted by Parker Kennel. Your Puppy will not be released from us unless if has have a negative fecal test. Even though the test is negative Puppy still can be retaining worms or larvae. Your Vet will assign you a worming schedule if necessary.
Upon you receiving your Puppy in between these times a full week must lapse before any Vac is given unless we are contacted. I have my Cell 479-209-0431 on me at all times. I can be reached!
A Vac. can do very little good if given directly after Puppy has had its maiden Plane Ride
and has not fully transitioned into its new family, it can even cause an outbreak of what its given to prevent!
We are not in any way trying to undermine what is recommended by your Vet that you have. We do see it best for this stated time period to pass before Puppy is to receive additional vaccinations.
