| Check-up Lucas will be 8 months on the 14th. The last time he was at the vet was to be neutered. Just wondering how often he should be getting check-ups? Or if there are any shots I'm missing that weren't done when he was younger at his other checkups? Thanks

| He should be okay until his yearly check-up, barring any illnesses. Hopefully your vet has his complete medical record and if he doesn't, he would be able to make recommendations regarding vaccinations. Is he on a flea/heartworm program? Here is a vaccination schedule that was recommended to me when I first joined YT. Vaccination Schedule Recommendations For Dogs

| If heartworm is a problem in your area, he should be on preventative after the vet does a heartworm test. Flea meds may not be needed. As long as your pup is up to date on shots, he shouldn't have to go til his annual check-up.
