Questions to ask:
1) What vaccine protocol do you recommend (most will give distemper/parvo in several boosters)?
2) Is there any particular food that the vet recommends (I personally recommend Science Diet Puppy)?
3) Report to your vet any abnormal coughing/sneezing, vomiting/diarrhea.
4) It is recommended to have a fecal float analysis to rule out any parasites the pup might have.
Most vets will check for congenital defects with a physical exam of the puppy. They will look for open fontanel, cleft palate, heart murmurs, and luxating patellas (along with other things)
