Hi Val,
Both Dr Ly n Companion r gd, I go 2 Dr Hsu at The Animal Clinic cos nearer 2 my place.
where got alot of vaccins for my dogs?? Older dog had his compulsory vaccins when pup then another time when he was 1.5yrs old. Younger dog only had his puppy vaccins n tat's all.
try 2 avoid bringin ur pup out too often if he's less than 5-6mths old espeically the grass, immunity not strong enug yet.
B careful wif the cough, if he's lethargic, better bring 2 vet soon. I dun bring them for check ups veri often unless sth wrong wif them like prolonged diarrhea or prolonged coughing. Whenever sense sth wrong wif them, i'll giv them colostrum 2 enhance their immunity.
As for food, i personally dun recommend pedigree or caesar...too much preservatives n colorings n not human grade meat used. My older dog is on Abady n younger on home-prepared meals due to his digestion probs. For supplements, i'm usin Pat Mckay (even for myself...hehe)...

Very difficult 2 brush my older dog's teeth...like kenna 4-D....sighhh. For younger dog, used 2 brush everyday but now hubby gettin lazy. And both my dogs r licenced.
beagles dun nn full groomin so i'm not too sure of rates...but i tink $40 sounds reasonable. or u can check out Pets' World Dog Com at Joo Chiat..cheapest I'd found so far for basic groomin w/c is wat my dogs nn only....$35 for 2 dogs.
