Vaccinating and worming your Golden Retriever
Vaccinating and worming your Golden Retriever
For your ease in transitioning your puppy over to a new veterinarian we have provided his shot and worming records. It is important that you keep your puppy current on his shots. The first shot is given around 6 weeks of age and should be continued in 3 week interval until your puppy is approximately 18 weeks of age; a total of 5 baby shots. Consult with your veterinarian about annual adult booster shots and other shots which are necessary along the way (i.e. Rabies after 12 weeks). With worming, it is important to worm your puppy to keep the parasite load down. All dogs (and humans) have parasites. The growth and development of your puppy could be inhibited with a heavy parasite load. We worm our adult dogs regularly once a month. Our puppies are wormed at least 2-3 times before leaving our kennel. Ask your vet what is best for your new puppy.
