Just got 7-week-old puppies, no shots. What should I do first?

Question

I just got my first two puppies without any papers/registration. They also do not have their vaccines yet. I am so worried about them not having them. They are almost 7 weeks, but I just got them a day ago. What should I do in order for them to get their shots and be registered? Please advise.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would get puppies in by 8 weeks for thei first DHPP vaccines. Bring a stool sample. They will start them on heart worm and flea and tick medication. Your local township should have forms for licensing. Most people wait until their dogs receive their rabies vaccine and are spayed or neutered. Otherwise I’m not sure what you mean by registered. Good luck!
