What is Puppy and Kitten Care?

Puppies and kittens need special attention to give them a healthy start to their lives. Puppies and kittens should have their first wellness check by 8 weeks of age. During your puppy or kitten's wellness check, a vet at our animal hospital will do a visual check on your pet's skin and coat, legs, ears, eyes, nose, and mouth to make sure they have no health issues that are showing up.

Health issues can be addressed at this time that you need to know about. Your new pet will also be weighed to make sure they are at the weight they are supposed to be at for their age.

We will be happy to give you all kinds of tips on how to care for your new puppy or kitten, especially if you are a brand new pet owner. We can give you tips on how to handle parasite control and brushing your pet's teeth, for example. 

Another important aspect of puppy and kitten care is getting your pet spayed or neutered. While a pet can get these procedures done at any age, a puppy or kitten can be spayed or neutered as young as 8 weeks old. Help prevent unwanted litters of pets by getting your puppy or kitten neutered or spayed.

Getting your puppy or kitten microchipped will give you peace of mind in case they leave or are lost.

  • Discharge from eyes
