HEALTH
These recommendations are made from our own research and experience. Your vet can be a good resource, but at the end of the day YOU are responsible for each decision made regarding your pup’s health. You owe it to your pet to do research and understand any risks involved with the care they receive. Do not let anyone make those decisions for you.

As per our contract, you will need to take your puppy to your chosen veterinary clinic within the first week of bringing them home. Set up this appointment well in advance of getting your puppy because vet clinic schedules fill up quickly. This is to ensure you that you were sold a healthy pup, and to help you get them established with their new vet from a young age.
The puppies will have their first round of necessary vaccinations. After that, vaccinations and preventative medicines are to be given at your own discretion. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and understand the risks involved, do not be bullied by your vet to give your dog something that it may not need. Minnesota requires all dogs to be current on rabies vaccinations.
Spaying and neutering your pet is your personal decision. There are risks involved with not getting them fixed, so unless you plan to breed it is better to have it done (more important for females than males). Large breed dogs remain in adolescence up to 2 years of age. There is much evidence for the benefit of waiting to spay/neuter your pet till they are between 1-2 years of age (or after the first heat cycle for a female). Even if your vet says it is safe to have it done earlier, I would urge you to do some research and make an informed decision on the timing of this procedure.
