We found this great article on the Doctors Foster and Smith website:

It tells you what you can expect during your puppy’s first year. I particularly like the vaccination schedule. We have not had a puppy in ages. I had forgotten how many visits Angel has ahead of her.
If you are the proud parent to a new puppy, good luck!

Help! Heartworm and Flea Meds are Draining my Wallet!!
Routine medicines like heartworm and flea preventatives are expensive. Here are some ways I save money on these medicines.
With the flea medicine, I do not apply the medicine year-round. In our area, the peak season seems to be the most critical time. Ticks are a bigger problem than fleas.
I only apply flea medicine to Gracie. The cats are strictly indoor and do not need it. As long as Gracie’s flea and tick issues are under control, the cats have been protected. You may not be so lucky. It is just something to consider.
I also buy a good quality flea medicine. Years ago, I tried the cheaper brands. They were not effective with my pets. If the product does not work for your pet, you are not saving money.
With heartworm medicine, I asked my vet if he would match the price offered by Doctors Foster and Smith. He did. The savings paid for a few extra months of medicine.
Speaking of Doctors Foster and Smith, they offer free shipping on all healthcare items such as flea, heartworm, and other medicines. Their prices seem to be competitive. They do require a prescription for some of the medicines. Details about their requirements can be found in their catalog or on their website, http://www.drsfostersmith.com/
I am sure other websites are out there too. I just like this particular site because they ship items quickly and have good prices. No, they did not offer me an endorsement deal…but we are open to it. Hey, as I said, the meds drain the wallet!
