New Puppy Health Checks

Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting time—but it’s also the start of a big responsibility. To give your puppy the healthiest possible start in life, we recommend a full veterinary health check within the first week of bringing them home. Our comprehensive new puppy consults are designed to set your pup up for a lifetime of good health.

At your puppy’s first visit, our experienced vets perform a thorough nose-to-tail examination to check for any signs of illness, congenital issues, or developmental concerns. We’ll also discuss their vaccination schedule, diet, parasite prevention, and answer any questions you have about settling in your new family member.

  • Comprehensive physical exam
  • Heart and lung health check
  • Eyes, ears, mouth and teeth inspection
  • Skin, coat and weight assessment
  • Joint and limb check for early signs of hip or joint issues
  • Microchip scan (and implantation if needed)
  • Behaviour and toilet training advice
  • Tailored vaccination and worming schedule
  • Nutritional and feeding guidance

Early veterinary visits allow us to detect and treat any issues before they become serious. Just as importantly, it helps your puppy get comfortable with the vet clinic environment from an early age, making future visits easier and less stressful.

Puppies are particularly vulnerable to parasites, infectious diseases, and nutritional deficiencies during their first few months. Timely professional care reduces the risk of complications later in life and gives you peace of mind.

Your puppy’s first vet visit is not just a check-up—it’s a friendly, informative session where we’ll work with you to provide:

  • A personalised health care plan
  • Timeline for vaccinations, desexing, and future check-ups
  • Safe parasite prevention options (for fleas, ticks, intestinal worms & heartworm)
  • Advice on socialisation, training and basic behavioural guidance
  • Puppy pack with useful resources and a welcome treat!

Ongoing Puppy Care

After the initial check, we’ll schedule follow-up vaccinations and discuss the best age for desexing, dental care and long-term preventative health. As your puppy grows, we’ll continue to support you through each stage of development with proactive, personalised veterinary care.
