Veterinarian
Schedule a vet appointment for within 3 days of the date that your puppy joins your family (this is required)!
If you are local to one of the locations below, we HIGHLY recommend one of our veterinarians: Roanoke, VA - Dr. Porter at Botetourt Veterinary Hospital Asheboro, NC - Dr. Behren's at Randolph Animal Hospital Clemmons, NC - Dr. Roberson at Animal Hospital of East Davie. |

Parasite Prevention
I use 1-800-PetMeds to order:
Heartgard Plus for Heartworm Prevention and Safeguard Dewormer both contain safe, well documented active ingredients. Against vet recommendation, I do not treat year-round. Before resorting to flea/tick treatments, I use non-chemical prevention methods first. during warm weather, I keep the grass mowed short and treat my yard with nematodes. I use non-fabric bedding when possible and regularly wash and mop. I do not have carpet. I spot check dogs for fleas/ticks. If I MUST use a prevention I treat my dogs with Frontline Plus or the Seresto collar. The main thing I want you to take from this recommendation is to do your own research and be informed! If and when I find something that is extremely safe and works well, I will post it here. Let me know what works for you! I do NOT recommend Trifexis, Bravecto, Comfortis, Triheart, or Nexgard... this list could go on. Way too many dogs have had horrible reactions to these drugs, and we really don't know how years of use impacts their chances of illness and disease later in life. |
