Bringing home a new puppy

A new puppy is a wonderful addition to the family, and the early months are an important time for their health, development and socialisation.

At Narre Warren Vet, we can help you understand what your puppy needs now and what to expect as they grow.

Getting Started

Your puppy’s first visits are a great opportunity to discuss:

  • Vaccinations and health checks
  • Worming and parasite prevention
  • Microchipping
  • Nutrition and feeding
  • Desexing
  • Training and socialisation
  • Puppy Preschool

Puppies need a series of vaccinations as they grow. We can create a vaccination and preventative care schedule suited to your puppy.

Puppy Preschool

Early socialisation can help your puppy develop into a confident, well-adjusted dog. Our Puppy Preschool provides a safe environment for puppies to learn, socialise and for owners to receive practical advice.

Looking for more information?

Take a look at our New Puppy Guide and Puppy Care Services.

You can also ask us about our Pet Healthcare Plan, which includes routine consultations, vaccinations and other preventative care, with Puppy Preschool included for eligible Healthcare Plan members.

We’re happy to help you work out where to start.
