Health, vaccination and the guarantee

Pets leave us vaccinated, dewormed and health-checked, with documentation included and a 7-day health guarantee from the day of delivery. Continuing the vaccination schedule matters, particularly given the warm and arid conditions in Dug. Keep unlimited fresh water available and add a cooling mat or shaded resting spot.
