Comprehensive Wellness Exams

Regular wellness exams are the foundation of your puppy’s or kitten’s health. During these visits, our veterinary team will:

  • Assess your pet’s overall health
  • Monitor growth and development
  • Check for signs of illness or congenital conditions

These checkups allow us to identify potential concerns early and create a personalized care plan for your pet’s unique needs.

Vaccinations and Preventive Care

Puppies and kittens are particularly vulnerable to certain diseases, which is why vaccinations are so important. Our team will develop a vaccination schedule tailored to protect your pet from illnesses such as:

  • Distemper
  • Parvovirus
  • Rabies

We’ll also discuss parasite prevention options, including treatments for fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites, ensuring your new pet stays safe and comfortable.

Nutritional Counseling

Proper nutrition is key to your puppy’s or kitten’s growth and development. We provide guidance on:

  • Choosing the right food
  • Establishing feeding schedules
  • Addressing dietary concerns specific to your pet’s breed or size

Our goal is to help you make informed choices that support your pet’s long-term health.

Spaying and Neutering

Spaying or neutering your pet has health and behavioral benefits, including:

  • Reducing the risk of certain cancers
  • Preventing unwanted litters
  • Minimizing behavioral issues like marking or aggression

Our team can help you determine the best timing for this procedure based on your pet’s age, size, and breed.

Socialization and Training Tips

Proper socialization and training set the foundation for a well-behaved pet. We’re happy to offer advice on:

  • Introducing your puppy or kitten to new environments and experiences
  • Basic training techniques
  • Managing common challenges like house training or biting
