When should a puppy have its first vet visit?
A first veterinary examination should be a priority after bringing a puppy home; even if the puppy looks healthy, schedule it within the first few days rather than waiting for a problem.

What to know
Bring previous vaccination and deworming records, breeder or shelter information and, if possible, a fresh stool sample. The visit establishes a baseline examination and an individual vaccination and parasite-prevention plan.
