Puppyhood
A good start in life
The first months of life shape a puppy for a long time. Sleep and activity alternate frequently. Young dogs in particular have a high need for rest. At the same time, vaccination, deworming, socialisation and getting to know the practice are on the agenda. We deliberately take time for the first puppy appointment and discuss nutrition, training questions and the right timing for vaccinations with you.

Senior years
A good companion in the second half of life
With the years, your dog's needs change. Movement often becomes slower, the need for sleep increases, and small changes in everyday life become easier to spot. Preventive appointments become especially valuable in this phase: they help to detect emerging conditions early and to maintain quality of life for longer. Get in touch if you are unsure what is "normal" with age and when an appointment would make sense.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about the vet for dogs
When should a puppy first visit the vet?
We recommend bringing your puppy in shortly after they move in with the family for a first health check and to discuss the further vaccination and worming plan. This way your puppy gets to know the practice in a calm setting.
How often should my dog have a preventive check-up?
Healthy adult dogs are ideally seen once a year. Older dogs or those with pre-existing conditions benefit from more frequent check-ups.
When is a dog considered a senior?
Depending on breed and size, dogs are usually considered seniors from around the seventh year of life, often earlier for large breeds. A senior check can detect age-related changes early.
