Welcome to our hospital. We are devoted to helping your puppy stay as active and vibrant as the day you fell in love with the little pooch. There are several needs we will address during his first 6 months with you. We are providing this grouping of services to allow you to be informed, and to share our commitment to you by providing all the essentials we believe he needs. The program will be individualized to your puppies individual needs:

Discuss housetraining, crate training and discuss nutrition/feeding. Send home Puppy Care Book. Housetraining bell. Loan of puppy care video and "Good Owners, Great Dogs" videos for 2 weeks.

This encompasses the basic first 6 months of wellness care of your pet. Package may be adjusted as determined for individual needs. This package does not cover products purchased, diagnostics, treatment or care for sick or injured pets. The videos are very informative; each time one is returned the next can be borrowed. The initial charge (to cover replacement if required) of $19.95 will be rebated fully if the video(s) are returned promptly when indicated. The deposit, or portion of it may be retained if videos are not returned on a timely basis.
Among a variety of over-the-counter health and behavior products we sell for pets, we strongly recommend the 5 lesson Puppy Smarts c/d ($30) for all new puppy owners.
We believe in keeping puppies happy to visit us, we use treats, kindness and sweet-talking to make these visits happy occasions for you and your pet. We encourage you to let us help you with all your puppy's needs, including behavior or training problems you may be having.
