Your Pet’s First Wellness Visit: What to Expect
Your puppy or kitten's first visit to Four Paws Veterinary Clinic is an exciting step towards a lifetime of health and happiness. During this initial checkup, our caring team will:
- Conduct a thorough physical examination to check your pet's health and look for any signs of illness or congenital conditions.
- Deworm your pet to treat intestinal parasites (these are common in puppies and kittens!).
- Discuss nutritional needs, including the best types of food for your pet's age, size, and breed.
- Advise on proper care at home, including grooming, dental care, and potty/litterbox training tips.
- Initiate a vaccination schedule tailored to protect your pet against common diseases.
- Discuss options for parasite prevention to keep those pesky fleas, ticks, and worms at bay.
Tailored Treatments for Growing Puppies and Kittens
As your puppy or kitten grows, their health and wellness needs will change. We'll be there to guide you through every stage, ensuring they receive the necessary vaccinations and treatments. These may include booster shots to enhance immunity and preventative treatments for a range of conditions that young pets are particularly susceptible to.
The Importance of Regular Checkups
Regular wellness visits are vital in keeping your new friend in tip-top shape, and puppies and kittens need to see their vet frequently in their first year of life. These checkups allow us to monitor your pet's growth and development, assess their overall health, and update their vaccinations as needed. Early detection of any health issues can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes, so we encourage keeping up with your pet's scheduled visits!
