Can I switch vets for my puppy if he just started new medication?

Is it okay if I transfer my puppy to another veterinarian even if my puppy is starting his medication from his previous vet?

Yes, it's fine to transfer your pup's care to a different veterinarian if you want to - just make sure to bring a copy of his records from the previous vet, so that the new veterinarian knows his medical history and what treatment he's currently getting :)
