If you have a new puppy or kitten, you know how this addition to your family can light up your home and be a source of so much joy. One of the first things you should do after bringing home your new puppy or kitten, is bringing them to us, your veterinary care team. This allows them a full “nose-to-tail” physical examination and ensures that they start off well-equipped for optimal health. We will look for any signs of illness and make sure that your new puppy or kitten is in the best health possible, with a personalized approach for a long and happy life.
We believe that even if you are an 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, so we strive to offer you the support you need as your puppy or kitten continues to grow.
Puppy and kitten wellness visits also present an opportunity to discuss your new pet’s recommended vaccine schedule and the best plan for parasite testing, treatment, and prevention. Our veterinarians and veterinary care team are well-educated about veterinary vaccines and parasite control, and our goal is always to give you the best advice to ensure the health of your puppy or kitten. We will review your pet’s vaccine and de-worming schedule and discuss the best way to continue. Please be sure to bring any records that you may have received.
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 or kitten’s health care. Puppy and kitten visits are an excellent way to get your new pet started on the road to a happy and healthy life.
Let’s take these important first steps together: please call today to schedule an appointment for us to meet your new pet!
