I have two dogs now, and I'm taking the pup in for booster shots this week. I figured I would take Clayton in alone for this (no need to tramatize Cupid with an unneeded vet visit).
However, heartworm season is coming up, and I'm wondering if I should take the boys in together to be tested or if I should make separate appointments and do it separately. Together seems easier in some respects, but Cupid is a bit fearful at the vet (no doubt due to his surgery last year), so it might be easier not to deal with a small puppy plus a nervous dog. Any suggestions?
Also, I'm trying to decide when to get Clayton microchipped. Can I do it with his boosters (he's 11 weeks old, FYI) or should I do it another time? Would it be painful to do them both during the same visit? I'm new to the whole puppy (vs. adult dog) and microchipping thing.
Thanks for the advice!
