BARKIMONIAL


You have made our lives very comforting taking care of Walter. These early weeks of adjustment to our household and yours have gone far better than we could have anticipated.

Your reputation of care and enthusiasm for the dogs preceeded our use of Wags & Wiggles. We certainly have not been disappointed in the care you have provided. We look forward to a long and enriching relationship.

Excerpts from "Puppy Vaccination and Socialization Should Go Together"

By Robert K. Anderson DVM Professor and Director Emeritus, Animal Behavior Clinic University of Minnesota

Puppies begin learning at birth and their brains appear to be particularly responsive to learning and retaining experiences that are encountered during the first 13 to 16 weeks after birth. Many veterinarians are making this early socialization and learning program part of a total wellness plan. To take full advantage of this early special learning period, many veterinarians recommend that new owners take their puppies to puppy socialization classes, beginning at 8 to 9 weeks of age. At this age they should have (and can be required to have) received a minimum of their first series of vaccines for protection against infectious diseases.
