Pediatrics/Vaccines
A new puppy or kitten requires a time investment in training. Puppies that have proper training are happier and cause less stress to you. Behavior is the number one reason pets are given up to shelters. Training is better when you are involved, because you need to know what to do as much as your puppy. Examinations and vaccinations are very important early on. Spaying and neutering is recommended between 4-6 months of age. Some breeds are exceptions.
