Essential First Care for New Pets
Bringing a new puppy or kitten into your family is an exciting and joyful time! One of the first things you should do when you bring your new pet home is to introduce them to us — your trusted veterinary care team. Puppy and kitten visits offer a unique opportunity to start your pet’s journey on the right foot and set the foundation for a long, healthy life together.
Comprehensive Nose-to-Tail Physical Exam
Your puppy or kitten’s first visit will include a thorough nose-to-tail physical examination. We’ll check for any signs of illness and ensure that your new pet is in good health. Our team will also make sure that your pet is growing and developing properly. This initial examination is crucial to catching any potential health concerns early.
Addressing Your Questions and Concerns
Do you have questions about nutrition, training, vaccinations, grooming, parasite protection, or overall health? What about tips for introducing your new pet to other pets and family members?
Even if you are an experienced pet owner, each puppy or kitten is unique and may require different care. We welcome your questions and look forward to addressing any concerns you may have. The more informed you are about your pet, the better equipped you’ll be to care for them. We are here to provide you with all the support and guidance you need to ensure your puppy or kitten grows up healthy and happy.
Puppy and Kitten Health Care: Vaccines and Parasite Prevention
Puppy and kitten wellness visits also provide an opportunity to establish a vaccine schedule and develop a plan for parasite testing, treatment, and prevention. Our team is well-versed in veterinary vaccines and parasite control, and we’ll provide you with the best advice for your pet’s specific needs.
We’ll review your pet’s vaccine and deworming schedule, discuss which vaccinations and parasite preventions are best for them, and offer tips for keeping your pet protected throughout their life. Don’t forget to bring any records you’ve received, as this will help us determine the best plan for your new pet.
