Dog vaccinations for common diseases such as distemper, parvo, kennel cough, rabies are a must. This is done yearly as well as a physical so you are sure your pet is in the best of health.

Also testing should be done for heartworm prevention and worming if necessary.

To be up to date on all dog breed diseases and common dog health problems, add a book, such as Veterinary Guide for Dog Owners, to your dog library. I keep one handy for any non life threatening emergency. You can purchase it here, at Cherrybrook. They have a great selection of dog books about breeds, health and everything in between.

Even before you bring your puppy home, check with friends regarding their veterinarian. Good referrals are the best recommendation.

When you have your new pup or adult schedule a trip to the veterinarian for a complete physical. The vet you choose must be gentle, kind and understanding to you and your pet.

And you must understand the symptoms of a sick dog. Always contact your vet if your dog looks the least bit under the weather.
