How often should my dog see the vet?
Puppies should visit every 3–4 weeks until their vaccine series is complete. Adult dogs benefit from annual wellness exams. Senior dogs age 6 and older should be seen twice per year, as age-related health changes can develop quickly. Some dogs with chronic conditions may benefit from more frequent visits.

Most dogs are considered seniors between 6 and 10 years of age, depending on breed and size. Larger breeds tend to age faster than smaller breeds. Learn more on our Dog Senior Care page.
Does Deer Park Veterinary Hospital microchip dogs?
Yes. We offer microchipping using Home Again microchips. A microchip is a small transmitter implanted under the skin that can be scanned to identify your pet if they are ever lost. The procedure is quick and can be done during a regular visit. Learn more on our Dog Microchipping page.
What vaccinations does my dog need each year?
Adult dogs that have completed their puppy series receive annual heartworm tests and boosters for leptospirosis and Bordetella.
