Neuter (removal of both testicles): 12 – 18 weeks, depending on breed, to prevent both unwanted mating and testosterone induced prostate enlargement which can cause life threatening urine outflow blockage. Deworming: Puppy schedule as above. Adult dogs every 6 months, especially dogs with access to the outdoors. Flea & Tick Control: Monthly (for life): Fleas carry tapeworm eggs. Ticks carry several blood borne dieseases for dogs (Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Lyme, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, etc). Our program is tailored to fit pet's environment/owner's preference. Heartworm Prevention: To be taken monthly for life. Heartworm infection occurs in approximately 100% of exposed dogs. See heartwormsociety.org. Recommend yearly test if prevention has not been consistent. We recommend Revolution, Heartgard, Advantage Multi, or Trifexis, dependant upon breed and other needs. Weight Control: Exercise is important! Play with you dog daily! Avoid table scraps and store bought treats. Feed each dog individually. Dental Cleanings: Recommendation is based on yearly exam. Recommend brushing teeth 3 times a week using an enzymatic canine toothpaste. Enzymatic dental chews, oral rinses and special diets are also helpful in keeping teeth clean. Training: Start housebreaking as a puppy (8 weeks). Use a gentle, positive correction or reinforcement. Housebreaking can take a few months. Obedience training can begin at 5 – 6 months.
