Made First Veterinarian Appointment

We stopped by the veterinarian’s office late this afternoon. Good thing we had stopped in, to schedule his appointment, because I would have never known there was more to the whole “puppy package”. Apparently they need a stool sample (gross), but it tests for a wide range of things. She explained that the dog could make our kids sick, and that is never something that had crossed my mind…

(Currently using this one)

In the process we let them know the treats we were using for potty training, and how we’ve been reading the packaging, and how some were not for “puppies” (like the jerky from Costco). They let us know how the ones we’re currently using can cause diarrhea… ~*Eeww*~

(Switching to this one)

We were told the “jerky” types were actually better, and I found one that is soft enough for him, natural as possible, and after cutting into tiny pieces it’ll hopefully work better. This is still a learning process for me, and I will be writing down a ton of questions for his first appointment! Such as if he can have rawhide or bones, the sales clerk stated he couldn’t (and that we should even buy the rope toys because the kids might hurt his baby teeth).

Cooper will have his first appointment on December 29^th… hope all goes as well as the kids’ dentist appoints had today!!!
