It's very important that your puppy has positive interactions with other people and dogs during their first few weeks to help them grow into a confident and well-behaved member of the family.
As they're not generally allowed to go to dog parks or socialise with other dogs before their third vaccination, Puppy Pre-school can be a great way allow your puppy to socialise safely with puppies of a similar age (and other humans!). It's also a wonderful opportunity for you and your pet to learn basic obedience skills, loose-lead walking, toilet training, positive reinforcement techniques and more.
Once your puppy is fully vaccinated, it's a good idea to expose your puppy to different interactions. These could include taking your puppy to visit someone else's home, inviting friends over to meet your puppy at home, introducing your puppy to a (fully vaccinated) adult dog or cat, or taking them to new environments such as workplaces or cafés.
If you have any questions about anything regarding your puppy, get in touch with us today, or bring them in for a check-up (we love meeting new puppies!)
Over the next 8 weeks, Reservoir Vet Clinic will be undergoing some exciting renovations. We’re creating:
1. A brand new dog ward
2. A dedicated cat ward
3. An updated staff room and facilities
During this time, on-site parking will be very limited. We encourage clients to park either in the train station car park next door or across the road on Henty Street.
You may also notice a temporary portable staff room in our carpark while these much-anticipated improvements take place.
Please rest assured that patient care remains our top priority. There may be some days where the clinic environment is not ideal for procedures, and in those cases, our team will keep you updated to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of your pets.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work to make Reservoir Vet Clinic even better for our patients, clients, and team.
