What does vet do with puppy first visit?

Any veterinarian will tell you that bringing your dog to the vet for the first time, as well as any subsequent appointments during your dog's first year, are some of the best things you can do to help your companion remain healthy and safe throughout their life.

These initial visits allow your veterinarians to provide critical preventive care and examinations for signs of future issues as well as health problems that may already be present in your dog.

Puppies should receive their first veterinarian visit at the age of 6 weeks. Your veterinarian will advise you on how frequently you should bring your pet in for checkups throughout their first year.
