The Rolin Ridge Puppy Care Manual
 

Health Care


Rolin Ridge expects that you will have routine veterinary care provided for your new dog.

Routine health care should at least include remaining vaccinations against distemper, hepatitis  leptospirosis, and parainfluenza (DHLP) and Parvo, depending on at what age you acquired your pup, and DHLP boosters at yearly interval thereafter.

Parvo vaccinations should be given as recommended by your vet.  For dogs participating in dog shows, obedience or conformation classes, or those who are frequently boarded, your vet may have a different protocol.

If Corona virus is a problem in your area, your vet will recommend vaccinations against it also.

Rabies shots are given at one to three-year intervals, depending on the type of vaccine used.

Heartworm tests and stool checks should be done yearly, and the dog de-wormed as necessary.

After having your vet check for heart worms, give heart worm preventive daily or monthly, as directed.
