What to Expect During Your Kitten or Puppy’s First Visit

During your pet’s first wellness exam, our team will perform a complete physical to assess their overall health and check for congenital issues or early signs of illness. We’ll also review their vaccination schedule, discuss parasite prevention, and answer your questions about nutrition, socialization, and training.

Our puppy and kitten care plans typically include:

  • Comprehensive physical exams
  • Customized vaccine schedules
  • Deworming and fecal testing
  • Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
  • Microchipping guidance
  • Age-appropriate behavior and training tips
We take time to educate and empower you as a new pet owner, creating a care plan that fits both your pet’s medical needs and your lifestyle.

Why Early Veterinary Care Is Essential

Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable to disease and parasites before their immune systems are fully developed. Timely vaccinations and preventive care protect your pet during this sensitive stage and help prevent serious conditions down the road.

Early vet visits also establish a positive experience with the clinic, making future exams and procedures less stressful. Regular checkups during the first year allow our team to monitor your pet’s growth and development, detect issues early, and intervene before they become more complex.
