- Worming, Flea Treatments & Vaccinations
9.1 Worming
Your puppy has been wormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age. Puppies should be wormed every two weeks and then every month until they are 6 months of age. After this they are wormed every 3 months or as advised by a veterinarian. Your puppy is up to date with worm & flea treatments while under our care. For the next worming or flea treatment dates, please refer to the puppy’s vet booklet. You could purchase Worming tablets and Flea Treatments from your local vet. Regular flea treatment and worming will help to keep your puppy healthy.
9.2 Flea Treatment
We have applied Revolution flea treatment when your puppy is 6 weeks of age. Fleas are a year-round problem so Revolution should be applied every 4 weeks throughout the year.
9.3 Vet Check and Vaccination
Vaccinations and vet checks are given by our registered veterinarian when your puppy is approximately around 6.5 – 8 weeks of age.
Do Not take your puppy to places that unvaccinated dog may have been present such as parks, beaches, or to attend puppy classes. Remember your puppy is not fully vaccinated when he/she arrives at your home. Avoid taking your puppy to public places at least 7 days after he/she has completed the full vaccination schedule as advised by your vet.
9.4 Microchipping
Microchipping is a legal requirement for all dogs; hence we have provided Free Microchipping on your puppy while under our care. Your puppy has a unique microchip ID number. It allows your puppy to be identified if they are ever lost, stolen or injured. It can be scanned at vet clinics and animal shelters to identify your dog. About the size of a grain of rice, the chip is inserted quickly and easily under your pup’s skin by a vet or licensed implanter. Collars and tags can be easily removed, but a microchip cannot!
Once you brought your puppy home, you can register your puppy’s microchip number online on New Zealand Companion Animal Register. Having your pet microchipped and registered on the New Zealand Companion Animal Register improves your chance of getting your puppy back quickly should they go missing. If you change address or contact details, you can update details on the NZCAR website.
