A Year-Long Health Plan: Setting the Standard for Well-being
To provide the best care for your Goldendoodle, we’ve meticulously crafted a recommended vet visit schedule for the first year. Let’s dive into the key milestones:
9-11 Weeks: Building Immunity
During this period, your Goldendoodle will receive booster shots to strengthen their immunity against prevalent diseases. Depending on your location and your puppy’s lifestyle, additional vaccinations may be recommended by your vet.
12-14 Weeks: Completing Core Vaccinations & Heart Health
At this stage, your Goldendoodle will receive their final round of core vaccinations. It’s also an opportune time to test for heartworm and discuss preventative measures with your vet.
16-20 Weeks: Rabies Responsibility
Ensure legal compliance and safeguard your Goldendoodle’s health by administering the rabies vaccination. Be sure to check your local requirements with your vet.
6 Months: Responsible Pet Ownership
Discuss the appropriate time for spaying or neutering your Goldendoodle with your vet. Beyond contributing to overpopulation control, this procedure can also have significant health benefits for your furry friend.
1 Year: Celebrating Milestones
Mark this milestone with an annual checkup, where your vet will administer necessary vaccination boosters, conduct a thorough physical examination, and discuss ongoing preventive care. This is a crucial step in ensuring a future filled with wagging tails and boundless energy.
