Why Early Veterinary Care Is Essential

The first few months of life are critical for a pet’s physical and emotional development. Timely veterinary visits help ensure your puppy or kitten receives protection from preventable illnesses while building a strong foundation for future health.

Beyond medical care, these visits are a chance for us to form a positive relationship with your pet early on—making future vet visits less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.

What’s Included in a Puppy or Kitten Visit?

Your new pet’s first visit with us will typically include:

  • Comprehensive physical exam: We’ll check for congenital conditions and assess their overall health from nose to tail.
  • Vaccinations: Core vaccines (and boosters) are essential for protecting against dangerous diseases. We’ll create a vaccination schedule customized to your pet’s age and lifestyle.
  • Deworming and parasite prevention: Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable to intestinal parasites and fleas. We’ll start them on a safe, effective parasite control plan.
  • Discussion of spay/neuter timing: We’ll advise on the best age to spay or neuter your pet based on their breed, behavior, and development.
  • Nutrition and feeding guidance: We’ll help you choose the right diet and portion sizes to support healthy growth.
  • Microchipping (optional but recommended): A permanent form of ID that can help reunite you with your pet if they ever become lost.
