Coco ๐ถ โโโโโโโโ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โโโโโโโโ Coco is a 10 week old Cavalier puppy who visited for a checkup with Dr Matt โ All the nurses obsessed over him ๐and there was LOTS of squealing (from the nurses ๐).โโโโโโโโ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โโโโโโโโ It is important that puppies experience lots of handling whilst they are young ๐๐ผPlaying with your pup's paws, ears, face, tail and tummy makes them easier to handle later in life. Cuddling with your puppy laid on their back also establishes the healthy heirarchy between a pup and their owner ๐งก๐ถWhenever puppies visit Small Friends Vet our staff are MORE than happy to help add to the puppy's experience of being handled ๐๐ป โโโโโโโโ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โโโโโโโโ If your puppy requires a check up please call โ๏ธ6262 2233 to arrange your appointment. โโโโโโโโ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โโโโโโโโ #smallfriendsvet #smallfriends #canberrapets #canberracats #canberradogs #dogsofcanberra #catsofcanberra #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #gungahlin #rspca_act #canberra #wearecbr #kitten #puppy #covid19canberra
