  • A comprehensive physical exam
  • Development of a vaccination program based on your puppy’s lifestyle
  • Screening and recommendations for preventing external parasite such as flea and ticks

Vaccines and Your Puppy

We believe in creating a personalized vaccine schedule that is tailored for your puppy’s needs to maximize the protection against any diseases he or she is likely to be exposed to. There are many diseases that are preventable through the judicious use of vaccines, so it is important to create an individualized protocol early in life to protect both your puppy and your family.

Microchipping

Much like vaccinations, microchips can help keep your puppy safe. If your pet should ever become lost, their unique microchip identifier will help bring them home safely. Click to learn more about microchipping your pet.

Your Puppy’s First Visit

In preparation for your puppy’s first visit with us, it is helpful to bring the health information provided to you by the seller or shelter. This information should include a previous history of vaccines and deworming. We also ask that you bring a fresh stool sample, and bring your puppy on a leash or in a secure carrier.

To schedule an appointment for your puppy’s wellness exam, please call us at (615) 352-4370.

Outstanding customer service and care of our dogs. From Veterinarian care to doggie day camp to boarding...nothing but awesome people
Dr Geller and QVC have been caring for our pets (both large and small animals) for over 30 years. They are the always professional and compassionate. Highly recommended.
Destiny and Dr. Luckenbach are absolutely fantastic. They are dedicated, care greatly for the animals, are super knowledgeable, and even have wonderful “people skills”! Can’t recommend them enough.
The staff in the emergency room showed amazing compassion and professionalism today when my son and I brought our cat who was not a patient there for an emergency visit. They guided us through a tough decision and supported us as we said goodbye to our beloved Sheba. We were treated as though we were part of their family.
