Canine Preventative Health

Vaccination

Vaccinate your dog as a puppy to protect against killer diseases. After that we will recommend a vaccination regime that suits your dog's lifestyle at their annual physical examination. We will send you a reminder for this examination every year.

Feeding

Feed a high quality dry food. Never leave food available. Keep your dog lean and always interested in food. Aim for the 'lithe Puma' look, not the 'Jabba the Hut' look.

Worm Prevention

Worm your puppy every 2 weeks until 16 weeks old, then monthly till 24 weeks old, and from then on once every 3 months.

Flea Prevention

Do something to prevent fleas. We recommend monthly 'spot-on' Frontline.

Neutering

We recommend that your puppies be neutered by 20 weeks of age. Neutering prevents many behavioural and physical problems.

Oral Care

Minimise dental disease by feeding a food for which the teeth of your 'hunting creature' have been designed.

Pet Health Insurance

Diagnosis and treatment can run into a lot of money. It is our duty to advise you that this practice provides a premium service and not an economy service. We strongly advise you to insure the health of your pet as soon as you can.
