Can a pup have a side effect from a vaccination?

Yes, vaccinations on rare occasions may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hives and breathing trouble, itching or swelling around the face or lips. For this reason, we suggest that you not 

leave your vet's office right after your dog gets his shot. Most allergic reactions will occur within 15 minutes.

Questions & Answers

Questions About Choosing  

a Veterinarian

                     

Dear Scarlet..How important is it to choose the right veterinarian for me and my pup?

It is very important to choose the right

veterinarian. You should choose a vet that you are comfortable with and able to easily ask questions.  Author Margaret Bonham says it best, " your dog can't tell you how he feels or what's wrong, so good communication between you and your vet is essential."

What criteria should I use?

Here are some of the criteria you should consider: 

  • References. What vets do your dog-owning friends and neighbors recommend? Why? Ask your friend's about their vet's strengths and weaknesses. Also ask your trainer and breeder who they recommend and why.
  • Visit several veterinarians, interview the staff, and review the friendliness and helpfulness of the office and the vet.  Is the office staff cranky and rude? Does the vet have a gentle and caring manner?
  • Communication ability of the vet. Is your vet able to answer your questions in a clear and polite manner. Does the vet give clear instructions?  
  • Cost. What is the cost for vaccinations, and office visits? Do they offer a multipet discount? Are the prices in line with other vets that you are considering?
  • Breed familarity. Is your vet familiar with health conditions common to your breed.?
  • Office cleanliness.Is the vet's office clean and sanitary?
  • Office location. Is it convenient? 
  • Hours and services. Are the hours convenient? Do they offer after hour or emergency services? Is there a vet on call that has a pager should an emergency arise.
