​Puppy and Kitten Wellness


Picture
Do you have a new puppy or kitten? Congratulations on this addition to your family!One of the first things you should do when you bring your new pet home is to introduce him or her to us. Puppy and kitten visits are a great opportunity to get you and your new pet started out right!
​Your puppy or kitten visit will include a full physical examination. We will look for any signs of illness and make sure that your new pet is in good health. Most first visits include any vaccines that are due as well as a check for intestinal parasites. Be sure to bring any records you might have so that we can review and continue your pet's vaccination and worming schedule.
Even if you are a very experienced pet owner and have had puppies or kittens before, each pet is unique and offers an opportunity to learn something new. We welcome your questions and look forward to addressing any concerns you may have. The more educated you are about your pet, the better you will be able to care for him or her.
Puppy and kitten wellness visits also present an opportunity to discuss your new pet's recommended parasite prevention. There are various types of prevention that are recommended to keep your puppy or kitten happy and healthy. These include those for fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and heartworms. Our doctors and other staff members are well-educated about parasite control, and our goal is to give you the best advice for your puppy or kitten. We will work hard to help you understand your pet's health considerations, and we encourage you to be involved in decisions regarding your puppy's or kitten's health care.
