Why are puppy visits so important?

A puppy’s immune system is still developing, which makes early veterinary care absolutely essential. Timely vaccinations, deworming, and health screenings prevent dangerous diseases and catch issues before they escalate.


These visits also help us monitor your pup’s growth, guide their behaviour, and create a care plan tailored to their age, breed, and lifestyle. Most importantly, they give your puppy a positive, fear-free experience at the vet, building trust that lasts a lifetime.


Our puppy consultations go beyond basic checkups. Each visit is designed to support your pet’s health, growth, and early development.

When should you book your puppy’s first vet visit?

Ideally, your puppy should see a vet around 6-8 weeks of age, or within 3-5 days of adoption if older. This ensures we can initiate a safe and effective vaccine schedule and screen for any inherited or early-developing conditions.


In Dubai, early vaccinations are also required for legal pet registration, so the sooner your puppy visits us, the better prepared you’ll be.
