Bringing Your New Pet Puppy Home 

If you have fallen in love with a new puppy, and have had to bring him home to cuddle and play, it can be important to take him to a veterinarian soon after you get him to make sure he is healthy. When you get your new puppy, be sure to ask whether he has been dewormed and gotten his first shots. Call our office serving Oxford, FL, and The Villages, FL, to make an appointment with our veterinarian so we can do a checkup to detect any problems that may need treatment. We at Oxford Animal Hospital are here to help.

Get Your Dog Supplies

There are a lot of supplies that a new puppy needs. It's best to shop around for what you need so that everything's in place when he comes home. You may need a collar and leash or harness. You might also need to plan for potty training. You may need to buy puppy pads or another solution to help with the process. You might also want to stock up on some food and treats if you want to use them. It's also nice for him to have a bed of his own.

Get Ready for the Process

Your puppy may need to learn a lot once you get him home. It can be a good idea to have some plans for training and rules that the dog will need to follow as he gets older. You can talk to our veterinarian during that first visit to get some recommendations for things like potty training and teaching obedience. Our vet can be a helpful source of advice and information when your little puppy is ready to learn everything you need to teach him.
