Puppy Care
The doctors and staff at the Acre View Pet
Hospital, Inc. would like to congratulate you on the new puppy you have added to your
home. The first few months are very important in you puppy's development, and a
series of measures are recommended to help ensure its good health. For your
convenience, we have prepared the following checklist to assist you in keeping track of
these items. Trim their toenails and bathe/comb regularly, especially frequently up
to about 4 months of age as a training aid so these activities can be done easily when you
pet is an adult.
