New Puppy? What to do first?

If you just took in a new puppy, you are undoubtedly excited yet concerned about the experience ahead of you. If at any time your pet requires medical assistance, contact Trinity Pet Hospital in Laguna Hills to meet with our veterinarian. Here are some actions to take shortly after you acquire your puppy and how veterinary care at our animal hospital can help your pet get off to the right start.

Make an Appointment for an Evaluation

Your new puppy requires routine visits to our veterinary practice to ensure it is growing properly and so medical problems are treated quickly and effectively. Our vet will discuss the importance of immunization administration, spaying or neutering, and preventative care with you during your first appointment. 

Acquire Necessary items

Make sure to take a trip to a pet supply store for some important items to make your puppy comfortable in its new home. A warm bed, food dish, water bowl, leash, grooming items, and toys are all necessary items required to keep your pet happy and healthy. Ask our veterinarian about recommended food choices for your puppy so they get necessary nutrients during this stage of their life.

Take Precautions within Your Home

Your puppy is likely to be a curious creature, making it necessary to protect it against hazards in the home. Remove any chemical agents and lock them in areas out of reach of your puppy. Get down at puppy-level to look for potential hazards like items with sharp edges or protrusions.
