What health screenings or genetic tests have been done on the parents?

At Seacoast Great Danes, we prioritize the health of our puppies by conducting comprehensive health screenings on the parents. Both parents are tested for hip and elbow dysplasia through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). This ensures that our puppies come from healthy lines with minimized risks of hereditary issues.

Have the puppies received any vaccinations or deworming treatments?

Yes, all our puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming treatments before going to their new homes. They receive their first round of puppy vaccinations at 8 weeks of age and are dewormed every two weeks from the time they are two weeks old. A detailed health record is provided with each puppy, and we encourage new owners to share this information with their veterinarian to maintain a proper vaccination schedule.

Can I meet the puppies' parents or see their pedigrees?

Absolutely! We welcome prospective buyers to meet both the mother and father whenever possible. Meeting the parents allows you to see their temperaments and physical traits, which are excellent indicators of what to expect from your puppy. We also provide a copy of their pedigrees, so you can see their lineage and understand the strong, healthy lines your puppy comes from.

How are the puppies socialized?

Our puppies are raised in a loving, family-oriented environment where they are exposed to various experiences from an early age. They are handled daily by both adults and children to ensure they grow up comfortable with people of all ages. We introduce them to different sights, sounds, and surfaces, such as car rides, vacuum cleaners, and grass, to build their confidence and adaptability. Socialization is a top priority for us to ensure our puppies transition smoothly into their new homes.

What type of diet are the puppies currently on?

Our puppies are fed a high-quality, nutritionally balanced puppy food to support their growth and development. We also introduce them to soft, soaked kibble as they transition from nursing. When you pick up your puppy, we provide a small bag of their current food to help ease the transition. We’re also happy to discuss feeding schedules and dietary recommendations to ensure they thrive in their new environment.

Do you offer any health guarantees or support after the sale?

Yes, we stand behind the health of our puppies and offer a written health guarantee. This includes a two-year guarantee against genetic health conditions covered in the testing of the parents. We also remain available to support you after you take your puppy home. Whether you have questions about training, diet, or general care, we’re here to assist. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition and a lifetime of happiness for you and your new Great Dane puppy.
