Is My Puppy Done Growing Yet?
Not too long ago your pup was just a little newborn puppy fur ball. It is truly amazing how fast they grow up. We hope you got plenty of pictures! By the 1 year old mark, small breed puppies tend to be full grown. Large breed pups take anywhere from 1.5-2 years, so keep filling out a growth chart for your pup. He might just have a few more inches left.
Your First Puppy Yearly CheckupTime to Schedule that 11 Month Puppy Physical
Going to the vet isn’t my idea of a good time either, but the yearly vet exam for your puppy is an important habit to get into. When you arrive at the vet make sure you are in high spirits. Your 11 month puppy picks up on energy, and having a good attitude will help prevent fear in your little fur ball. Bring some treats to give your puppy before and during the exam. This will help his association for future visits.
The vet will begin the examination by checking your 11 month pup’s physical condition. This includes a thorough analysis of the eyes, ears, skin, coat, mouth, nose, tail, paws, heart and lungs. Your puppy will also receive his yearly vaccinations. Make sure to take your vet’s advice on a proper vaccination schedule. Lastly, be prepared for your visit. If you have any lingering questions jot them down and get your money’s worth with all of the questions you can squeeze in!
