Puppy

Some helpful puppy advice from our vets in Shropshire

Worms & Fleas

Puppies need to be wormed on a monthly basis until they are four months old and then every six months after that. In order to ensure your puppy gets the correct dose of wormer, we need to know their weight so we advise you bring them in for weighing regularly. This also gets your puppy used to coming to the vets. It’s not such a scary place really!

Here at Brownlow Veterinary Group, we advise that our flea treatments are applied every 8 weeks.

Neutering

If you aren't going to breed your pet, we generally advise neutering them. It has many medical benefits including a reduced risk of breast cancer in bitches and prostate problems in older male dogs.

Neutering of both sexes can be done after they reach 6 months of age.
