Oral general dewormer (we follow the CAPC guidelines for deworming of puppies and all pets, using a general dewormer at each puppy visit through 16 weeks of age, and parasite-tailored dewormers for any specific infections found on 2 consecutive fecal parasite screenings.)

Vaccination:

• DHPP (canine distemper hepatitis parinfluenza and parvo disease complex, often referred to as the "canine distemper-parvo" combination as it is the canine equivalent of cats' respiratory combination vaccination): after puppy series, every 3 years, beginning with one year of age vaccination.
• Bordatella/Kennel Cough vaccine every 6 months after initial puppy series of 2 vaccines one month apart.
