: Hi

: I just purchased a Jack Russell Terrier from a breeder, and it will probably come to my house in about two weeks. However my question is, should I still take the pup to the vet within 2 or 3 days of its arrival, even though it comes with a health guarantee?

Response:

Dear Nathan,

Actually, I suggest that you take your pup to the vet the same day you get it or, at minimum, within 24 hours. If the pup has a medical problem, it is best that it is documented by a vet as soon as possible after you take possession of the pup.
