Shots:
Your puppy has had it's 1st shot at the age of 7 weeks.
The next booster shot should be given at 12 weeks of age and then at 16 weeks your puppy will receive the Rabies vaccination.
Then once a year your dog is to receive their vaccination shots.
Heartworm:
All dogs should be on heartworm medication during the mosquito season. Your pup can go on heartworm medication at the age of 12 weeks. We use a medication called Sentinel. It also controls roundworm,whipworm, hookworm and flees. The extra cost is really worth it.
Roundworm:
Your Puppy has been wormed at 6 weeks and 7 weeks. It is a good idea to bring a stool sample into your veterinarian around 11 weeks of age just to see if any additional medication is required at your 12 week appointment.
Ears:
Your dogs ears should be cleaned at least every 3 weeks. This is a simple process for both you and your dog as long as you start at an early age.
Nails:
Your dog should also have its nails trimmed every 3 weeks. This again is a simple process as long as you start at a early age.
Haircuts:
We recommend the Springer be clipped every spring. This cleans up the old winter fur and makes it cooler for your animal in the summer, not to mention a lot less hair around the house.
