Welcoming a new puppy

First visits, feeding, vaccinations and settling into a new home.

Register your puppy with the practice and arrange a first check-up. Our £110 puppy pack includes first and second vaccinations, three months of flea and worming treatment, five weeks of free insurance and developmental checks with our puppy nurse. Ask your vet when it is safe to explore outside and meet other dogs.

Your first few weeks

Keep the first days calm, with a comfortable bed, a regular routine and plenty of chances to rest. Bring any vaccination or breeder records to the first appointment.

  • Feed a complete puppy food suited to their size, changing food gradually.
  • Start short, gentle sessions of reward-based training.
  • Check microchip contact details are registered to you.

A healthy start

Our £110 puppy pack includes first and second vaccinations, three months of flea and worming treatment, five weeks of free insurance and developmental checks with our puppy nurse. We will talk through the vaccination schedule and parasite protection for your puppy.

Meeting the world

Build confidence with positive, gentle introductions to people, everyday sounds and handling. Ask your vet how to balance safe socialisation with vaccination protection before visiting public walking areas or meeting unfamiliar dogs.

When to call

Call if your puppy becomes unusually quiet, stops eating or has repeated vomiting or diarrhoea. Young puppies can become unwell quickly.
