What To Expect During a Puppy or Kitten Visit

Puppies and kittens require a series of visits to ensure proper development and protection from health threats. Each visit adds another layer of protection, building their immune system and strengthening your knowledge. These visits include:

Physical exam
Regular exams introduce your pet to gentle handling, detect any abnormalities, and assess growth and development.
Vaccines
Core vaccinations, followed by regular booster vaccines, provide blanket protection as your puppy or kitten’s immune system matures. Our veterinarians will create a customized vaccine schedule for your puppy or kitten’s age and health status.
Spay and neuter guidance and scheduling
Spaying and neutering help prevent pet overpopulation and reproductive health problems. We’ll help you understand the benefits of these procedures and recommend the best time to spay or neuter your pet.
Parasite treatment and prevention
Parasites such as fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms can be especially harmful to puppies and kittens. Deworming, followed by monthly preventives, can keep your new pet parasite-free.
Nutrition and training advice
Our team will provide nutritional guidance and expert insights on puppy and kitten training, including house training, chewing management, socialization, and more.
