Your puppy’s first vet check
Before you bring your adorable new dog home, you should be planning for your puppy’s first vet check. Register with a local vet to make sure you’re prepared and when you have your new puppy, arrange an appointment and let them know it's a new puppy health check. Your vet may want to allocate your puppy a bit more time than the usual 10-minute check-up just to make sure everything gets off on the right foot
The cost of your puppy’s check-ups will vary depending on your dog’s health and where you live. A young puppy needs a series of vaccinations which will increase the initial costs, so be ready for the first vet bill to reflect that. However, when it comes to the regular puppy check-ups the cost will likely decrease. Unless you puppy needs special medication, most vet trips won’t be significant out-of-pocket affairs.
If your puppy is not already insured, discuss this too, as policies have different advantages and disadvantages – your vet can help you make a decision about what’s best for your puppy or we could assist you before the pup is delivered to your location.
Insurance can be a lifesaver in the case of accidents or injury as it is surprisingly easy to run up large vet’s bills and a good insurance policy means you will never have to worry about not being able to afford to treat your puppy if the worst should happen.
We will make arrangements where you will get six week’s free insurance, and it is up to you if you want to continue with it.
We answered the most frequent questions about puppy insurance before or during delivery. Feel free to ask any more questions.
