First Vet Visit, seeking advice.

[Wild Wolf]

Hey everyone,

This is going to seem ridiculous, since I actually work at a vet clinic and see first exams on a regular basis. I am bringing Hunter in for his vet exam and vaccines the day after he arrives (July 22nd) and I just wanted to ask you guys if you had any advice for me in terms of what to ask, what to look for and what to make sure happens. I am nervous, because this is a super important event for me and my boy.

I was also wondering if anyone had opinions on the Vanguard Plus core vaccine for puppies. After speaking with reception she told me that is the vaccine they use. I am paranoid about vaccines, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with it or has heard anything good or bad about it.

I cannot believe that I am exposed to this at work regularly and I am still nervous and uncertain. I am not taking Hunter to where I work, also.

It doesn't seem ridiculous. You're a nervous new mom and that just shows how much you care. I'm sure you'll get some great advice.

I am so fiercely protective over him already, haha! I want to know exactly what is being injected into him, what dewormer they want to give him, and what is best for a puppy.

I also asked them if they were going to harass me for feeding raw and doing minimal vaccines, because I won't put up with it. Haha!

Just curious, why are you not taking him to the vet you work for?

They are more expensive, I am not a huge fan of my boss, and I refuse to mix something so precious to me with work. They don't support raw, which I will be feeding Hunter nor do they support minimal vaccines.
