keep your puppy / dog healthy

Before getting a puppy from a reliable breeder from any petshop, it is very important to know that whether the puppy that you like is already get his vaccination accordingly. When a puppy is about 6 to 8 weeks old, he will get the first vaccination course for 5 types of doses to protect him against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo and Parainfluenza. Again, when he is 12 to 14 weeks old, another jab of the same type of doses will be given. Then for the third times, when he is around 16 to 18 weeks old, another jab for him as well but for different types of protection.

Here in Malaysia and Singapore, the pet owner who purchase their puppy during their first year must make sure that their puppy is fully protected against these diseases by getting 3 jabs for the first year. The third jab or the last jab during their first year usually the vet will advise you with few options where you can choose whether to take up 6 in 1 doses up to 10 in 1 doses. For my toy poodle i gave him the 10 in 1 doses which only cost me RM85.00 only.

Of course the more you protect your precious bundle the more expensive it gets. But it certainly worth the money when you see how healthy and happy he would be afterwards. Remember not to give him a bath for about a week after each jab. Well, your vet should have told you that when you send your pet over.

After this primary course ( 3 jabs ), make sure that you bring him back to the vet every year for a booster. Beside this before your cute puppy is 6 months old, you should have a monthly schedule to feed him with a Heartgard doses. It only cost you Rm60 for 6 tablets which occupies for 6 months of stock. The earlier you give him the Heartgard tablet the better. This is to protect him from the worm to infect his heart. This is very important especially if your puppy always playing outside the house. He might get it from the mosquito bites.
