Here is Dora! I took her to the vet today and she did so good she just about slept the whole time he was checking her out! When she got her shot she just turned and looked at him and laid her head back down. She did great!

I want her! I don't even want or need another animal but I would take her in a heartbeat! LOL
Chef_2_Four said:Thanks guys! I didn't want another! We already have the kids, dog and a cat. My husband went to look at her and called me and said I don't care what you say we are getting her. He said I held her for about 2 min and she started kissing me! When I got home I had her in my arms for about 1 min and she started kissing me. She is the sweetest dog and the dog and cat like her so that is good!
During your puppy's first vet visit, you can expect a thorough physical examination, vaccinations, and discussions about nutrition and training. The vet will also check for any signs of illness and provide guidance on preventative care.
To prepare your puppy for the vet visit, make sure to bring any medical records, a leash, and a muzzle if necessary. Familiarize your puppy with the car ride and the vet's office by visiting beforehand, if possible, to reduce anxiety.
Your puppy will typically need a series of vaccinations, including those for distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, and rabies. The vet will create a vaccination schedule tailored to your puppy's age and health status.
To help your puppy feel comfortable at the vet, bring their favorite toy or blanket, speak to them in a calm voice, and offer treats as positive reinforcement. Allow them to explore the waiting area while keeping them on a leash for safety.
If your puppy is scared at the vet, remain calm and reassuring. You can try to distract them with treats or toys, and ask the vet staff for tips on how to make the experience less stressful. Gradual exposure to the vet environment can also help over time.
