Parasite Checks and Deworming
Puppies: Parasite Checks (Fecals) should be performed at
intervals recommended by your veterinarian, usually 2-3 times during puppyhood. Appropriate Deworming medication will be prescribed after parasites are identified
.
Adult: Should have Fecal Test done at least once a year. We request a fresh stool sample for the test.
Vaccinations against Distemper,
Hepatitis, Parainfluenza,
Leptospirosis and
Parvovirus (DHLP-P)
DHLP-P Vaccine protects your dog from the
major airborne Upper Respiratory &
GastroIntestinal Viruses. Some of these diseases can be
spread by wild animals such as
skunks, foxes & raccoons, as well as unvaccinated dogs.
Puppies: Initial vaccinations are given as a series, beginning as early as 6 weeks of age.
“Puppy shots” will be given once a month until 20 weeks of age.
The schedule guideline for puppy vaccinations
is as follows:
Puppy T @ 6 wks (if no longer nursing, is considered a
temporary vaccine)
Puppy1 @ 8 wks, Puppy2 @ 12 wks, Puppy3 @ 16wks (at this time
Rabies is given) and
the final Puppy shot/Adult Booster @ 20wks.
Adult: Annual DHLP-P boosters are required.
Rabies Vaccination
In Florida, current rabies vaccination is required by law
for ALL Dogs, Cats & Ferrets over 4 months of age....
Puppies: Initial vaccination as early as 4 months of age.

In Florida, County Licensing is required for ALL dogs.

Bordatella Vaccination aka “Kennel Cough”
This vaccine is required by kennels for
boarding, and is strongly recommended for dogs
who are in obedience classes or grooming on a regular
basis. Kennel Cough is an
airborne virus and is usually transmitted in crowded
situations. The vaccine is given
intra-nasally, and is good for one year.
Puppies: Initial vaccination as early as 3 weeks.

Lyme Disease Vaccination
The Lyme disease
vaccination is not required in Florida, but we highly recommend
it for
pets that are moving or visiting Northern areas of the
country. Lyme Disease is
transmitted by a certain species of tick, found North of Florida.
Heartworm Check
Your dog’s blood
should be tested annually for heartworms, and all dogs should be
on a
heartworm preventative program. In Florida we suggest year-round
prevention; discuss
what prevention options are available with our staff.
Heartworm is transmitted by
mosquitoes and has been reported in all areas of the United
States.
At 6 months to 1 year of age as recommended by your Veterinarian.
An Additional Charge may apply for Extra-Large Dogs, Obese Dogs, or Dogs in Heat... please call for an estimate.
