When you first get your dog or puppy, select
a veterinarian you feel is qualified and one with whom you are
comfortable. Normally, the veterinarian will give your new pet
a general checkup and set up an immunization schedule. They
will also get to know your puppy or dog.
There is a variety of dog breeds that would
make a great pet and companion; Labrador, pug, beagle, bulldog,
Shar Pei, Chihuahua, (just to name a few) etc. Whichever dog
you choose, make sure the puppy or dog fits in your lifestyle.
A dogs care is essential to their good
health and well being. The veterinarian should make sure your dog
is vaccinated against canine diseases and has an annual medical examination.
