Caring for Your New Puppy in Austin
Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting adventure, and it's also an essential time to ensure your furry friend gets the best start in life. At Parker Animal Care, we provide comprehensive care every puppy needs during their early development stages. From vaccinations and parasite prevention to nutrition advice and behavioral tips, we’ve got your puppy covered.
Whether this is your first puppy or you're a seasoned pet parent, we understand the importance of setting up a healthy routine from day one. Our team will guide you every step of the way to ensure your puppy grows into a well-adjusted, happy, and healthy adult dog.
Why Early Veterinary Visits Matter
During the first 8–16 weeks, puppies require multiple visits to the veterinarian to ensure their immune systems develop strong protection against common diseases. At Parker Animal Care, we offer customized vaccination plans to protect your puppy and set them on the right path for a healthy life. We’ll also monitor their growth, administer monthly parasite prevention, and offer guidance on nutrition and behavior.
Puppy Care
Start Your Puppy’s Life Right With Trusted Care
Congratulations on your new puppy! Whether you’re raising a small breed like a Chihuahua or a larger breed like a Labrador, our team is here to help. We offer a core care plan that includes vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying or neutering. Early screening for hip dysplasia is also recommended for larger breeds to help ensure they grow up strong and healthy.
Before your puppy is fully vaccinated, it’s best to avoid high-risk environments like dog parks or daycare facilities. Keeping your puppy away from these areas ensures they remain safe while their immune system is still developing.
Core vaccines we recommend for all puppies include:
- DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza)
- Rabies
- Leptospirosis (based on lifestyle)
- Canine Influenza
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Our team will work with you to create a personalized vaccine plan based on your puppy’s breed, lifestyle, and health needs.
