Health & Wellness
Learn which questions to ask about health testing, preventive care, and lifelong wellbeing.
Ask for records
Request vaccination, deworming, veterinary, and parent health-testing records. A responsible breeder should explain what each record means.
Know the warning signs
Changes in appetite, breathing, energy, stool, or behavior deserve a prompt call to your veterinarian, especially during the first days at home.
Plan for prevention
Work with your veterinarian on vaccines, parasite prevention, dental care, nutrition, exercise, and a schedule for ongoing wellness visits.
