The puppies should have been health checked by the breeder’s vet. You can ask for evidence of the health check or find out which vet they use and ask if they are happy for you to call and confirm the pups have been checked. If the breeder shies away from this, it’s a huge warning sign. Puppies need a course consisting of 2 vaccinations. They should have had the first vaccination before they leave the breeders premises and ideally at least 2-3 days before you pick them up. Will the puppies be up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatment? Puppies should be wormed around 2 weeks of age and again at 5 weeks. They should also be wormed just before they leave the breeder.
