All pets should have a full health check once per year. The annual health check is usually performed at the same time as the booster vaccination, but health checks can be booked completely independently of vaccinations if you wish. We recommend that older pets are checked every six months as they can be prone to developing age related health conditions.

You should also begin to leave them alone for short periods to prevent separation-related behaviour.
Speak to your vet if you have any concerns about your puppy and ask them about neutering if you haven't already.
While you're at the vet, ask them about worming, flea treatment and neutering.
Your puppy can have their second vaccinations around now.
Organising their first puppy vaccination should have been done by the previous owner before you bring your puppy home.
