Give Your Puppy the Healthiest Start Possible!
Welcoming a new puppy into your life is exciting—but it can also come with a lot of questions. That’s where we come in!
Our Puppy Health Plan is thoughtfully designed to take the guesswork out of early veterinary care. From their first tail wags to their first birthday, we’re here to make sure your new best friend gets everything they need for a strong, healthy start.
With our comprehensive plan, your puppy will receive:
✔️ All core vaccinations for their first year
✔️ Regular deworming treatments
Whether you're a first-time pup parent or adding another furry face to the family, we make it simple to stay on top of their health—so you can focus on the cuddles, not the calendar.

What if my puppy is not 8 weeks old at their first appointment?
No two puppies are the same—and we understand that not every new pet arrives on a perfect schedule.
While we typically begin vaccinations around 6–8 weeks of age, we're happy to care for puppies at any stage in their early journey. Whether your pup is a little younger or you're not quite sure where they are in their vaccination timeline, our team is here to help.
We believe in personalized care, not one-size-fits-all plans.
Give us a call, and we’ll walk you through the best next steps based on your puppy’s age, health history, and specific needs. We’re also happy to provide details about costs, what to expect at their first visit, and how we’ll keep your new family member healthy and happy from day one.
Why do puppies require a series of shots?
When your pet is just starting out in life, their immune system is still developing—so they’re more vulnerable to illnesses. While they may get some early protection from their mother’s milk (if she’s been vaccinated), that protection fades quickly. That’s why starting a vaccination schedule early is so important.
Vaccines work by gently training your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight off harmful viruses and bacteria. The first shot introduces their body to the threat, and follow-up boosters help build strong, lasting immunity.
To give your puppy the best protection during these critical first few months, we’ll recommend a series of vaccinations, typically spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Most pets will finish this series between 16 and 20 weeks of age, but we’ll tailor the plan to fit your pet’s unique needs.
We’re here to make sure your newest family member gets the healthiest start possible—every step of the way.
What diseases are we vaccinating against?
Your puppy is curious, playful, and ready to explore the world—but their young immune system needs a little help to stay safe along the way. That’s why we carefully vaccinate your puppy against several common (and potentially serious) illnesses during their first few months. These early vaccines build strong protection so your pup can grow up healthy and happy.
Here’s what we protect against:
Bordetella (a.k.a. Kennel Cough)
A contagious cough that spreads easily between dogs—especially in places like dog parks, daycare, or grooming salons. It’s similar to a chest cold in humans.
Distemper
A serious virus that affects the lungs, brain, and digestive system. It can be life-threatening, so early protection is key.
Parvovirus
Highly contagious and very dangerous, parvo causes severe vomiting and diarrhea—especially in puppies. Vaccination is the best way to prevent it.
Parainfluenza
Not to be confused with canine influenza, this virus can contribute to respiratory infections. It's often included in a combination vaccine for broader protection.
Rabies
A fatal disease that affects the nervous system and can be passed to people. It's required by law in Nevada—and it’s one of the most important vaccines your puppy will get.
We’ll create a personalized vaccine schedule that fits your puppy’s age, lifestyle, and health needs, making sure they’re protected every step of the way.
