Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation | Free Puppy Advice from Cara Veterinary Group Dublin

Thinking of getting a puppy? Cara Veterinary Group in Dublin offers a FREE Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation to help you choose the right breed, understand your responsibilities, and prepare your home before you buy or adopt a new dog.

Make the Right Start with Expert Puppy Advice

Bringing a new puppy into your life is exciting, but it’s also a big decision. At Cara Veterinary Group, we want to make sure you’re fully prepared. Our Free Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation gives you expert, practical guidance on everything you need to know before choosing your new furry family member.

During this consultation, our friendly veterinary nurses will discuss breed suitability, lifestyle matching, vaccination schedules, training, and budgeting so that you can make an informed, confident choice.

What’s Included in a Free Pre-Purchase Puppy Consultation?

• Advice on which dog breeds best fit your lifestyle and family
• Expected costs for food, vet care, and insurance
• Information on microchipping, vaccination, and worming requirements
• Training and socialisation tips for early success
• Dietary and feeding recommendations for new puppies
• Guidance on preparing your home and garden safely

Our goal is to help you avoid common first-time owner mistakes and ensure your new puppy has the best possible start in life.

Why Book Before You Buy?

Many owners fall in love with a puppy before knowing the breed’s full needs or temperament. Meeting with a veterinary professional before you buy or adopt helps you avoid issues like behavioural challenges, unexpected costs, or health concerns down the line.

We can also advise on where to find responsible breeders, vaccination records, and what warning signs to look for when visiting a litter.
