We always get our pups microchipped and checked over at the same time as they get their first injection at 8 weeks before they are picked up by their new owners - we also pre-pay for the second injection and insist that the new owners bring the puppy back to our vet for the second injection. In that way we have a safety net in that the vet checks the pups at both 8 and 12 weeks.
Our vet doesn't charge for the health check, just does it as part of the micro-chip/vaccination service.
