Puppy Party

But what is a PUPPY PARTY? .........

These are informal get togethers for puppies and their owners. They are held at the surgery usually on an evening and provide a valuable opportunity for puppies to socialise with other animals and people in a safe environment. At the Puppy party your puppy will learn how to mix with other dogs, strangers and generally have a fun filled time. Nurses will also be available to answer any queries you may have and demonstrate how to look after your puppy and what problems to look out for.

What age is best? ..........

We need to wait until at least a week after your pups first injection, in order to minimise the risk of disease, this then can be the first step onto an ongoing socialisation programme. It is vital that your pup gets to meet other pups and strangers before 20 weeks of age as this is when the socialisation phase stops.

If you would like to come along and have some fun and avoid owning the 'hound from hell',
