Congratulations Dewey!

Congratulations Alexa & Laura!

What a bee-yoo-tee-full new addition to the family!

Welcome to PT, Dewey! You are a sweetheart and with the loving care your mommy will give you, I'm sure you'll gain weight in no time.
I have used monthly Heartgard for heartworm and Frontline against fleas and ticks for years, they both have worked well. The vet will want to do a heartworm test before giving you the medication just to make sure it will be safe.

Laura, congrats on your new addition! Dewey sure is a sweet looking pup! I love the doxie face and long legs! More pictures, please?

Edit: Just saw the one of you and Dewey. Haven't seen your pictures in a long time. You look great, BTW!

Yay! Welcome home Dewey! I just LOVE Dachshund mixes! Of course, I'm biased... My Priya thinks he's one hot tamale!

I love his coloring and his coat looks so shiny! I feed Priya Royal Canin Mini and her black coat is very lusterous.

As far as the vet visit, questions to ask and meds, etc...the advice given so far is good.

Priya is pretty much an indoor dog, but I have her on Advantage. My vet said I didn't need to put her on heartworm, because it's not prevalent here unless I go to the mountains...which I haven't done yet...but Interceptor and Heartguard are both good heartworm preventatives.

Frontline and Advantage both treat fleas, but if you want tick treatment as well, go with Advantix - it's more expensive, but treats fleas, ticks and mosquitos!

Good luck with your new doggie family member and let us know how he adjusts to his kitty siblings!
