Puppy / Kitten Wellness

Welcoming Cat And Dog

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your family is an exciting time, and we’re here to help you give your furry friend the best start in life. Our comprehensive wellness services for puppies and kittens focus on ensuring their long-term health, happiness, and well-being.

What’s Included in Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Services?

From vaccinations to nutrition advice, our wellness services cover everything a growing pet needs. Here’s what you can expect when you bring your puppy or kitten in for a wellness visit:

  1. Comprehensive Health Check

    In their early months, it’s essential to monitor your pet’s development. During each wellness visit, our veterinarians perform a thorough physical examination to check:

    • Weight and growth milestones
    • Skin, coat, and body condition
    • Heart, lungs, and overall organ function
    • Eye, ear, and dental health
    • Joint and bone development
  2. Vaccination Schedule

    Puppies and kittens need a series of vaccines to protect them from harmful diseases. We will develop a customized vaccination plan based on your pet’s needs, including core vaccines like:

    • Puppies: Distemper, Parvovirus, Rabies
    • Kittens: Feline Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, Rabies

    This schedule ensures they receive the right protection at the right time.

  3. Parasite Prevention

    Parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms can affect young pets. We offer safe and effective parasite prevention treatments for both internal and external parasites, including:

    • Flea and tick prevention
    • Deworming for common parasites (roundworms, hookworms, etc.)
    • Heartworm prevention for puppies

    This schedule ensures they receive the right protection at the right time.

  4. Microchipping

    Microchipping is a simple and permanent way to help reunite you with your pet should they ever get lost. We offer microchipping during any wellness visit — it's a quick, painless procedure that provides peace of mind.

  5. Nutritional Guidance

    Proper nutrition is key to supporting your puppy’s or kitten’s growth. Our team provides personalized dietary recommendations based on your pet’s breed, size, and specific needs, ensuring they’re getting the right nutrients for a healthy start.

  6. Spaying/Neutering Consultation

    Spaying or neutering is an important decision for your pet’s health and to prevent overpopulation. We’ll discuss the best timing for this procedure and any concerns you may have. We offer expert care before, during, and after surgery to ensure a smooth recovery.

  7. Behavior and Training Advice

    Early behavioral training can shape your pet’s future temperament. We can guide you on:

    • Basic commands and training techniques
    • Housebreaking and litter training tips
    • Socialization with other pets and people
