This segment highlights the importance of the initial vet visit, which is crucial for the puppy's health and well-being.
So let's delve into the importance of that first vet visit, vaccinations and the ideal age to bring your puppy home. The first vet check-up should be scheduled when your German Shepherd puppy is between 6 to 8 weeks old. This initial visit is vital as it allows the vet to assess the puppy's health and detect any potential issues early. Your vet will examine your puppy from nose to tail, check their weight and listen to their heart and lungs. It's a comprehensive health check that sets the stage for your puppy's ongoing healthcare.
