Veterinarian
On-going care is essential to your puppy’s health. Choose a vet before you bring your puppy home. Ask your friends and family for recommendations. If you’re in the Aromas area we’d be happy to give you our vet’s contact details.
Neutering and Spaying
Research shows that there are major benefits to delaying neutering or spaying your puppy. They need the hormones to grow strong and fight deadly cancers such as hemangiosarcoma. A study by UC Davis found that ‘early neutering was associated with an increase in the occurrence of hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament tear and lymphosarcoma in males and of cranial cruciate ligament tear in females’. Please, please, please wait to neuter or spay.
