At the Animal Clinic of North Park, we strongly believe in preventative medicine.  We offer a vaccination program for your puppy that will provide the most effective disease protection available.

1st Visit (8 weeks old)
Comprehensive physical exam: Several disorders are relatively easy to treat if detected in the early stages.  These include dental disease, ear infections, tumors, eye disorders, heart disease, and respiratory disorders.  To ensure your pet's health, we recommend a wellness exam once every six months.

Fecal Test: Your pet's feces should be tested for internal parasites once a year.  Several types of internal parasites can affect your pet's health and, in some cases, the health of your family.
DHPP #1: Distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and deadly parvovirus.  A follow-up booster should be given when your pet is 12 & 16 weeks old.
Coronavirus #1: This disease attacks the stomach and intestines causing diarrhea and vomiting.  A follow-up booster should be given when your pet is 12 weeks old.
Bordetella #1: This is the vaccination for the infection known as “kennel cough.”  A follow-up booster should be given when your pet is 12 weeks old.
Advantage Flea Control: This medication kills 98-100% of fleas within the first 12 hours.  Each treatment lasts four weeks.

2nd Visit (12 weeks old)
DHPP #2: This is the 1st booster for the distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus vaccine.  A follow-up booster should be given when your pet is 16 weeks old.
Coronavirus #2: This is the 1st booster of the coronavirus vaccine.
Bordetella #2: This is the 1st booster of the vaccination for the infection known as “kennel cough.”

3rd Visit (16 weeks old)
DHPP #3: This is the booster for the distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus vaccine.
Rabies:  This vaccination is required in order to license your pet.  Your pet must be licensed by the time he/she is 5 months old.  A follow-up booster is required in one year.

4th Visit (20 weeks old)
Comprehensive Physical Exam: The doctor will examine your pet to assure proper growth and development.  We'll also discuss behavioral patterns, demonstrate proper dental care, and discuss spaying/neutering your pet.

Spay/Neuter: This service is highly recommended for all pets not destined for breeding.  It can help reduce aggression and territory marking in males, and reduces the risk of mammary tumors in females.  Additionally, it helps reduce the rising population of pets in animal shelters and humane societies.
