In this episode, I take a clear, evidence-led look at early puppy healthcare and challenge some of the assumptions that have become standard practice.

I explain what is legally required before a puppy leaves at eight weeks, what I believe is genuinely in the puppy’s best interests, and where routine protocols may deserve more scrutiny.

We consider:

• What microchipping, worming and vaccination protocols should look like at eight weeks
• Why maternal immunity, timing and brand choice matter more than most realise
• How titre testing and risk-based decisions can reduce unnecessary chemical exposure

If you are breeding or preparing to bring a puppy home, this will help you move from habit to informed decision-making.
