Congratulations on your new addition! Whether you adopted from a local Houston shelter or a breeder, the first 16 weeks of your puppy’s life are the most critical for their long-term health and behavior.
What Happens During the First Exam? At Braescroft Animal Clinic, we don't just give shots; we provide a "Small Clinic, Big Heart" welcome that includes:
Comprehensive Physical: We check for heart murmurs, hernias, and proper bone development.
Custom Vaccination Tiers: Based on your lifestyle (will they go to Houston dog parks or boarding?), we'll recommend core vaccines like Rabies and Distemper, plus lifestyle vaccines like Bordetella and Lepto.
Parasite De-worming: Most puppies are born with intestinal parasites. We provide safe, effective clearing to protect your pet and your family.
Socialization and Training The "window of sociability" closes early. We’ll discuss how to safely socialize your pup in the Meyerland area before they are fully vaccinated.
