Bringing home a new puppy is just like adding a new member to your family.
And this new addition brings lots of love, excitement and new responsibilities, especially in his first few weeks in your home.
These responsibilities include feeding him well and providing the pup with necessary supplies such as a crate, blanket, toys, etc. Most importantly, you need to make sure that he is healthy and will stay that way throughout his life.
Finding The Right Vet
An important requirement that many new pet owners tend to overlook is finding the right veterinarian for their pets. Taking your puppy to the vet, preferably within the first two days of bringing him home, is a must. This ensures that he is in perfect health and that he gets all the preventive care he needs, such as vaccinations and regular routine exams.
Your family and friends may recommend you to a nearby vet clinic or you may also do your own research by calling several veterinarians and setting up an appointment to visit and find out first hand if it is the right one for you and your pet.
Veterinarian Expenses
For many pet owners, finding the right vet is not really a problem, but the costs of veterinary care are. Visits to the vet can be pricey, even with minor visits, such as the yearly vaccinations or routine checkups. In addition, illnesses or injuries can occur at unexpected times, and many dog owners end up having to pay out-of-pocket for these expensive visits to the vet clinic. This is why I recommend that you get pet insurance as soon as possible.
Owning pet insurance is the best way to ensure that your puppy gets the best health care possible, whenever he needs it. Pet insurance is a practical and effective way to lessen the costs of veterinary bills, whether those bills are for routine care, accidents, or injuries. Pet insurance also covers the expense of minor surgeries, major surgeries, treatments for illnesses and diseases, and other medical procedures such as neutering or spaying.
