Your guide to preventative care for your new puppy
Veterinary guidance is essential for raising a happy, healthy dog. When you're overwhelmed by conflicting advice or unsure how to handle a new puppy challenge, having convenient access to expert support makes all the difference.

-
Deworming medication: Typically $50–$150 per medication
-
Heartworm prevention medicine: Usually $5–$25 per dose
