Puppy Wellness Information
The road to health starts with a safe home, good nutrition, and basic medical care.
The path to wellness is distinct for each of us and for each of our pets. The word “doctor” means, “one who teaches.” That’s why our doctors take extra time to find out about each pet we treat, and then strive to deliver effective treatments based on your puppy’s exact needs. Not every puppy has the same risks and so each puppy’s wellness care is tailored to their specific needs. Our veterinarians can assist your puppy with the following: Puppy selection and genetic counsel. Physical examinations and medical treatment. Immune system growth (vaccines, and immune testing). Nutritional programs. Training and behavior. Parasite control programs.

Care That Grows With Your Puppy

Puppies need very special care starting at birth and proceeding throughout their entire lives. We encourage people to keep healthy appearing puppies home and isolated as their new immune systems begin to develop. The perfect diet at this stage is mother’s milk, which contains numerous health building substances. By two-weeks of age your puppy is ready to begin it’s wellness program with it’s first parasite treatment. Parasites sap strength and nutrition, as well as, exposing people to risk of infection. Proper nutrition and parasite control are helpful elements of creating wellness for your puppy. We recommend deworming every 14 days until 8 weeks of age, and then monthly until 16 weeks of age. Puppies need monthly appointments from 8 weeks until 16 weeks for routine care. Spaying or neutering follows if applicable at 5-6 months of age. Proper wellness care sets your puppy up for a long and happy life!

A Path For Wellness
Wellness is an expression of survival. It isn’t some far-off thing, but rather, something quite intimate. Wellness means being able to go and do and be the best you can be. For a puppy, wellness means having the strength to handle the major blocks to its existence. At Centinela Animal Hospital we work hard to bring information and products to your family that improve wellness. After all, it is easier and far more rewarding to create wellness than fight disease. Too many people spend an entire life’s worry on trying to avoid death and disease. When we focus on creating wellness, the result is a far happier and more rewarding relationship with our pets and families. Life is about living. It’s about action. Join us in living at its best!
