Give your new family member the healthiest possible start. Join our Sacramento puppy wellness program and invest in a lifetime of health.

What Is Our Puppy Wellness Program?

The Puppy Wellness Program at Broadway Veterinary Hospital is a comprehensive healthcare plan designed specifically for puppies from 8 weeks to 18 months of age. This critical developmental period requires specialized care to establish a foundation for lifelong health and wellbeing. Our program combines essential preventative care, developmental monitoring, behavior guidance, and nutritional counseling tailored to your puppy’s breed, size, and unique needs.

New puppies face numerous health challenges during their first year, including susceptibility to infectious diseases, parasites, developmental issues, and the formation of behavior patterns that will affect them throughout life. Our structured wellness program addresses these concerns through scheduled visits, timely vaccinations, parasite prevention, growth monitoring, and early intervention for any emerging health or behavior issues.

Our Puppy Wellness Services

Broadway Veterinary Hospital’s Puppy Wellness Program includes comprehensive physical examinations at key developmental milestones, enabling our veterinarians to monitor growth patterns, detect early signs of congenital conditions, and address emerging health concerns. These exams become the baseline for your puppy’s medical history and help establish personalized healthcare recommendations.

Our program features a strategic vaccination schedule tailored to your puppy’s lifestyle and risk factors. We administer core vaccines including distemper, parvovirus, and rabies, along with lifestyle-appropriate non-core vaccines based on your puppy’s specific exposure risks in the Sacramento area. Each vaccine is carefully timed for maximum effectiveness during your puppy’s development.

Parasite prevention is crucial for growing puppies, who are particularly vulnerable to intestinal parasites, heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Our program includes comprehensive screening, preventative medications, and education about environmental management to keep your puppy parasite-free. We also provide essential surgical services including spaying or neutering, with timing recommendations based on your puppy’s breed and individual development.

Nutritional counseling helps establish healthy eating patterns from the start, with breed-specific guidance on food selection, feeding schedules, and portion control. We also offer behavior and training resources to address common puppy challenges like housebreaking, socialization, and basic obedience, setting the foundation for a well-adjusted adult dog.

Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Dr. Sam saved my baby...

My dog Aurora had mouth cancer. I found out and had such little time to schedule her surgery because it was so aggressive. I was referred to Dr. Sam by a friend. I live in Santa Barbara and made the trip up to Sacramento. I am still impressed how well everything went! She had to have almost half of her jaw removed. She is cancer free and looking amazing! Back to her puppy self. First picture is only 2 months after surgery! 2nd and 3rd are the day of. Dr. Sam saved my baby

“ The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none...

I drove 95 miles to have Dr. Sam at Broadway Vet perform surgery on my kitten. The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none and I will be a return customer for all my future veterinary needs! My kitty bounced back so quickly because Dr. Sam is an expert in his field and knew just what needed to be done. Highly recommend Broadway Veterinary Hospital! Thanks, Dr. Sam!

Sacramento's Source for Pet Health

Your pet’s health is our expertise, which is why local news outlets like Fox40 News and Good Day Sacramento regularly invite Dr. Sam Varon to share essential pet care information, from emerging health concerns to answering everyday pet questions. When you choose Broadway Veterinary Hospital, you’re choosing care backed by expertise that Sacramento trusts.

Why Choose Broadway Veterinary Hospital?

Broadway Veterinary Hospital brings nearly five decades of experience caring for Sacramento puppies, giving us unparalleled insight into regional health challenges and developmental patterns. Since 1976, we’ve helped countless puppies grow into healthy adult dogs through our comprehensive, prevention-focused approach.

Our puppy wellness program offers flexibility within a structured framework, allowing us to address the specific needs of different breeds, sizes, and individual puppies. We recognize that a Great Dane puppy has different developmental patterns and health concerns than a Yorkshire Terrier puppy, and we tailor our approach accordingly.

Our modern facility features in-house laboratory and diagnostic capabilities that provide immediate results for common puppy health screenings. This means faster detection of parasites, infections, or developmental concerns without the stress of multiple visits or long waits for results.

Most importantly, our compassionate approach recognizes that bringing home a new puppy is both exciting and challenging. We provide support not just for your puppy’s health but for your entire family as you navigate housetraining, socialization, and the occasional chewed shoe. Our goal is to make this transition period smoother while establishing healthcare habits that will benefit your dog throughout life.
