USDA approved kennels/breeders?

USDA approved kennels and breeders are inspected monthly by the government of the state in which they reside. Surprise inspections can also occur. These kennels and breeders are given a USDA number which can be used to obtain inspection information on them. Be aware that not all “private” breeders are USDA approvedÂand can actually be a puppy mill.

What is microchipping?

Microchipping is when a microchip (about the size of a grain of rice) is injected under the skin of a dog. When the microchip is scanned by a microchip reader a number will appear. With this number the dog owners’ contact information can be obtained. Most vets and shelters will automatically scan a dog that arrives without any papers or medical history just in case they have a microchip. This is done because often times dogs are lost or even stolen and if they have a microchip, the real owner can be contacted.

Sold on your Vet's Approval?

Take your pet to your veterinarian within 7-10 days after you purchase it and if your vet deems the pet as “unfit for sale” per state regulations, you may be able to return them for a full refund given that you bring in a certified letter from your vet explaining, in detail, why they found the pet to be “unfit for sale”.  In extreme cases we reserve the right to have the pet re-examined by our vet.

Inoculations

OUR PUPPIES HAVE AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING INOCULATIONS AND DEWORMINGS (Approx. $350 – $450 in vet care):

-Intra Trac III 2 series of kennel coughs.

-DA2P & CPV canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, parvo modified live, corona killed virus.

-Galaxy DA2PPvL (7-way) canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvo modified live, lepto killed vaccine. If the puppy is here for a few weeks the puppy will receive Galaxy DA2PPV.

-NeoPar modified live virus vaccine for use against canine parvovirus.

-Dewormings: Pyrantel 3 doses, Panacure, Droncit, Marquis, Panacur (5 days), and Fenbendazole (5 days).

We keep up with all inoculations while the puppie is in our care so depending on the age of the puppy when it goes home, more inoculations may have to be administered.

Puppies need 6 – 7 series of vaccinations in their first year to be fully immunized. It is recommended that they have: 2 kennel cough inoculations, 3 distemper shots with a combination leptospirosis and a parvovirus inoculation. Some vets also require 2 series of lyme tick shots. Dewormings are also recommended to prevent parasites. We also recommend that you have your puppy microchipped for lost prevention. Our puppies have already been microchipped.

You need to find out what series of inoculations have been given before you purchase the puppy. Many puppies 8 or 9 weeks old from a breeder/kennel only have their first series of shots and one deworming. Puppies 8 – 10 weeks old require multiple visits to the veterinarian because inoculations can only be given in 2 to 4 weeks intervals until they are 12- 16 weeks old. If you have to pay for these additional visits it will cost roughly $600 or more depending on your veterinarian. (The average cost for an office visit + inoculation + dewormings = roughly $100 to $125).
