Kitten & Puppy Care
What Is Kitten & Puppy Care?
Kitten and puppy care includes a series of preventive visits during your pet’s early months. These visits support healthy development, screen for concerns, and help you navigate nutrition, training, and common early-life health needs.
We tailor recommendations based on your pet’s age, breed, home environment, and lifestyle goals. Our team supports new pet owners with practical education and individualized wellness planning.
What to Expect from Puppy & Kitten Care
These early visits commonly include:
- Growth and development exams
- Vaccine scheduling and education
- Parasite screening and prevention guidance
- Nutrition recommendations
- Behavior and socialization support
We also help you plan ahead for spay or neuter timing and long-term wellness needs.
Why Early Preventive Care Matters
The first year of life is a critical time for immune development and the formation of healthy habits. Preventive care can help:
- Protect against preventable disease
- Support healthy growth and weight
- Identify congenital or developmental concerns early
- Build a positive relationship with veterinary visits
