Helping Your Puppy Grow Into a Healthy Adult Dog
Bringing home a new puppy is a joyful, busy, and sometimes overwhelming time. Between house training, sleepless nights, and learning your puppy's quirks, those early months go by in a blur, but they are also some of the most important for shaping your dog's long-term health and behavior.
At Pet Wellness Group, we are here to walk you through every step of those early visits, so your puppy gets the strong foundation they need, and you feel confident, supported, and prepared as a new pet parent.
Comprehensive Puppy Care From the Start
Our puppy care in Florence is built around the unique needs of growing dogs. Puppies require a series of visits during their first six months to ensure they are developing well, building immunity, and staying protected from common canine diseases. Each appointment is also a chance for us to get to know your puppy, answer your questions, and offer guidance that fits your home and lifestyle.
Our puppy care services include:
- Comprehensive nose-to-tail wellness exams
- A complete puppy vaccination series
- Deworming and parasite prevention
- Heartworm and tick-borne disease screening as appropriate
- Nutrition guidance and feeding recommendations
- Behavior, training, and socialization tips
- Spay and neuter consultations
- Microchipping for added safety
Nutrition, Growth, and Development
What your puppy eats during their first year plays a major role in their growth, energy, and long-term health. Puppies have very different nutritional needs than adult dogs, requiring more calories, protein, and key nutrients to support rapid development. Choosing the right food is especially important for large and giant breed puppies, who need carefully balanced diets to support healthy bone and joint growth.
Our team will help you choose a high-quality puppy food, set up a feeding schedule, and answer questions about treats, transitioning to adult food, and supporting a healthy weight as your puppy grows.
Spay and Neuter Planning
Spaying or neutering your puppy is an important decision that benefits their long-term health and behavior. These routine procedures help prevent certain cancers, reduce unwanted behaviors, and support overall well-being. The right timing can vary based on breed and size, especially for larger dogs, and we will walk you through what is best for your puppy and what to expect from the procedure.
A Friendly Start to Lifelong Vet Visits
Early experiences shape how your puppy feels about vet visits for the rest of their life. Our team uses gentle handling, plenty of treats, and a friendly approach to make every appointment feel safe, fun, and positive. We will also share tips for at-home handling, nail trims, ear cleaning, and stress-free travel so your puppy grows into a dog who actually looks forward to seeing us.
