Usually vet visits are most frequent during the first year of life. Vaccines and dewormer should be administered at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. The next booster vaccine is due at 1 year and then year there after. So an annual exam is recommended. Milo should also get neutered after 6 months of age.
