puppy question

[Nicola]

Hi Sally,

Congratulations on your new edition. I am a vet tech and we recommend that puppies/kittens are weaned from their mother at 6-8 weeks old, they should start vaccinations at this same age. You may spay or neuter your puppy or kitten at 4-6 months old. I also recommend that you set a time to meet with the breeder at your vet clinic of choice and have the veterinarian give the puppy a complete check-up before you make the transaction final or bring your puppy home. If you have any further questions that I can help you with just let me know.

Hugs,
Nicola
