Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is an exciting time filled with joy, questions, and the desire to do everything right for your growing companion. At Mount Carmel Pet Hospital, our comprehensive puppy and kitten care services provide the medical support and guidance you need during your pet’s critical first year.
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:
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.
Supporting You Every Step of the Way
Raising a puppy or kitten comes with many milestones—and just as many questions. Whether you’re wondering about the right diet, when to spay or neuter, or how to tackle housetraining challenges, we’re here to help.
Our Mount Carmel veterinary team offers personalized advice grounded in clinical experience, helping you make confident choices as your pet grows. We believe proactive care and open communication are key to building a lifetime of wellness for your new best friend.
