Puppies
Puppies are as vulnerable as they are adorable. Their immature immune systems can’t fight off disease, and the protection received naturally through their mother’s milk can interfere with early vaccinations. That’s why these youngsters need vaccinations several times during the first months of their lives.
Puppies also need examination and treatments for parasites, and they need to be started on a heartworm prevention program. Unless you have breeding plans, it is also recommended that your pet be spayed or neutered. A nutritional needs analysis and behavior counseling round out the care at this important lifestage.

Adult Dogs
Adult dogs should have regular (i.e. annual) examinations and vaccinations with their vet. Take advantage of these exams to fill the vet in on the kind of lifestyle your dog is leading. Because the more your vet knows about your dog, the easier it is for the vet to advise you on your canine buddy’s health needs. And don’t forget to ask your vet about heartworm in dogs, flea treatments, and the other parasites Revolution For Dogs is formulated to prevent.
They may not be puppies any more, but adult dogs still need lots of regular exercise. Try to find time to go for a decent walk together once a day. It’ll be good for you dog, and good for you too.

Senior Dogs
Once your furry best friend becomes a senior dogizen (around 7 or 8 years old), he or she needs to visit the vet clinic more frequently than before. Ask your vet about senior pet examinations and expanded screenings, disease prevention programs, nutrition analysis and behaviour counselling geared specifically for your dog’s rich golden years.
In the meantime, be on the lookout for any changes in behaviour as your dog gets older. While some changes are inevitable and natural, others may be a problem, but treatable.
