Hi there! First of all, congratulations on your new puppy! It’s completely natural to feel a bit worried, especially when you're still getting to know your little one. Puppies are full of energy, but they can also be prone to a range of issues that might be causing concern.
If your puppy seems ill, several common culprits could be at play. Puppies are more susceptible to infections like parvovirus or kennel cough, parasites such as worms, or even stress from the transition to a new home. Make sure your puppy is eating and drinking regularly, as dehydration and low blood sugar can be serious in young pups.
At home, ensure your puppy has a quiet, comfortable place to rest, regular meals, and access to fresh water. Keep an eye on their behavior. Key things to watch out for include persistent vomiting or diarrhea, coughing, lethargy, lack of appetite, or difficulty breathing. If you notice these signs, it could indicate a more serious issue that needs veterinary attention.
To ease your mind and ensure your puppy is on the right track, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. A live consult can offer peace of mind and give your puppy a happy, healthy start!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
