Puppy and kitten wellness care involves scheduled veterinary visits at strategic life stages in the first year to enhance your new pet's health and development. By proactively detecting any medical or behavioral issues early, providing critical core immunizations, control intestinal parasites, and guiding proper nutrition, growth rate, socialization, and training, we set your new puppy or kitten up for a long, happy, and healthy life as part of your family.
During each wellness visit for your puppy or kitten, you can expect a nose-to-tail physical examination to monitor their growth, weight gain, temperature, and overall condition during their growth. We closely evaluate developmental milestones, provide age-specific care guidelines. Physical exams allow the detection of any abnormalities requiring further diagnostics or treatment.
We will discuss an individualized vaccine schedule for your puppy or kitten based on their age and lifestyle. Core vaccines protect against contagious and potentially fatal illnesses like distemper, parvovirus, panleukopenia, rabies, feline leukemia, among others. We ensure your pet receives all properly timed initial vaccine doses and boosters for full immunity.
Intestinal parasite control is also a key part of wellness visits, including deworming, starting monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. We perform fecal tests to screen for any parasites affecting gastrointestinal health, nutrition, and development. Your puppy or kitten will be prescribed deworming medications safe for their young age.
Frequent veterinary care early in life allows us to monitor proper development and prevent or treat problems early. Vaccines build critical immunity against contagious diseases like parvovirus or distemper, which can be fatal in puppies and kittens.
Parasite prevention maintains health by preventing anemia, diarrhea, malnutrition, and other issues intestinal parasites can cause. Our guidance sets your pet up for success for optimal nutrition, socialization, training, and care. Preventative wellness leads to better long-term health and less stress during future veterinary visits.
Consistent, well-trained pet care early in life lays the best possible foundation for an active, enriched lifetime with your four-legged family member. We at Vets ASAP handle the preventative health details so you can focus on bonding and enjoying quality time.
