Worming, First vaccination and micro chipping

Big days for the pups today !

This morning we weighed them all and then dosed them all with Drontal puppy worming. We put it in their food this time and fed them individually rather than try and inject it into their mouths.  With the heaviest pup now tipping the scales at 5kg, that equates to 5ml of worming solution each - never would have been able to squirt all that in successfully.  Now that they are all little food hoovers, it was so much easier to just put it in their food :)

Then this afternoon it was off to the vets en masse for their first vaccination and micro chipping. We used 3 large cat carriers with 3 pups in each to get them there (along with Jess). Took a few trips to get everyone into the surgery from the car.  Each puppy was given a complete health check along with their shots.  I am happy to report that all puppies are doing extremely well and are in perfect health (as is Jess :).  We were there for nearly 2 hours !

When you come to collect your puppy, your puppy pack will include the vaccination card from the vet along with details of how to register the micro chip in your own name.
