Probably the most important thing that you should do as soon as you get your new puppy or dog home is to set up an appointment with a veterinarian. This first appointment should be for a complete examination.

We all like cuddly puppies don’t we? We see them and we want to take them home – all of them! However, think about what you’re going to have once the puppy has grown up. Are you really choosing the dog that you want or are you just in love with the cuddly puppy?

The teeth of your dog should be cleaned to prevent tartar and plaques. Yes, your dog is liable to these things also. Even if you think you are giving your dog good foods, it is not an assurance that their teeth will be maintained.
