Wellness Exams
Puppies and kittens should get a wellness exam to check their health and well-being. A wellness exam involves listening to your pet’s heart and lungs, checking different body parts, and checking its stool for parasites. This exam gives our veterinarian a chance to detect health problems early and treat them before they turn into significant health problems later on.
Vaccinations
When puppies and kittens are old enough, you should get them vaccinated. These shots give them protection from potentially deadly diseases, such as rabies or distemper. Our veterinarian can tell you when to bring your puppy or kitten for vaccines and booster shots.
Preventative Products
Ticks, fleas, and heartworms can cause discomfort and illness in puppies and kittens. Parasite prevention helps protect your pet from these pests. We can recommend preventative products for your pet based on age, size, and other factors.
Diet
Puppies and kittens need the proper amount and type of nutrients to grow and develop correctly. Our veterinarian can recommend foods to give your growing puppy or kitten. We can also tell you how much your pet should eat or answer questions about your pet’s nutritional needs.
Behavior Training
Puppies and kittens have tons of energy, causing them to run around and chew on things they should not. Your pet also needs litter box and house training to prevent it from making a mess of your home. We can advise you on training your pets and keeping them active to help curb behavioral issues that stem from boredom.
