Welcoming a puppy into your home brings excitement, laughter, and endless cuddles! At The Ridge Veterinary Clinic in Omaha, our experienced veterinarians are here to guide you from your puppy’s first visit through every stage of growth. Early puppy veterinary care includes:

Your Puppy’s First Vet Visit

• Perform a full physical exam
• Administer age-appropriate vaccinations
• Review parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, heartworms, and deworming)
• Provide nutrition and feeding recommendations
• Answer your questions on training, behavior, and daily care
