Thank you for submitting your question regarding Aoki. Congratulations on your new puppy! I recommend to take him to his veterinarian right away. It is good to have a general check up and discuss basic puppy behaviors. You can discuss socialization, potty training and puppy classes. This gets you both off to a great start. Vaccinations, deworming and heartworm prevention can be started as well. I hope this information helps!
