Now, this may be no fault of yours, it could be as simple as an immune system compromise or an infection. A veterinarian can detect any changes in behavior with a professional eye and prevent deterioration in health. 

Bad Behavior 

There are times when try as you might, it seems like Sirius just isn’t ready to drop some bad behavior. Now, it is possible that you are approaching change the wrong way. Having a veterinarian allows you to consult professional opinion and get a solution easily.

General Wellness

This is why Petland stores have partnered with local veterinarians to check in their puppies to make sure they are happy and healthy and ready to find their forever home. Veterinarians are also tasked with setting up health protocols in stores. This is key to guaranteeing general wellness for all pups and something you should definitely consider as well.
