I have just bought a new puppy. Do I need to register or enroll with a veterinarian straight away or wait until I need to see a vet?

It is advisable to enrol your new pet soon after you obtain it, and we would recommend to get it examined even though it may seem perfectly OK to you. This gives you the opportunity to discuss vaccinations, worming, diet, neutering, parasite control, behaviour, puppy parties and socialisation of your new pet. Many vets will conduct a new puppy and kitten health check free of charge. Legally, to dispense any medicines including flea treatments and most wormers, the pet has to be registered and usually clinically examined beforehand. You also get the opportunity to meet your local veterinary health care team, and find out where to go and whom to ring if you have an emergency. Don't delay, get registered today.
