Wellness Exams/ Puppy & Kitten Exam

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your family is an exciting and joyful experience. Along with the cuddles and playtime, your newest family member also needs the right medical care to ensure a healthy start to life. At our animal hospital, we provide comprehensive wellness exams specifically tailored for puppies and kittens. These visits focus on preventive care, early detection of health issues, and building a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.

Why Wellness Exams Are Important

Just like infants, puppies and kittens require special attention during their first months of life. They grow rapidly, and their immune systems are still developing. Regular wellness exams allow veterinarians to monitor their growth, provide necessary vaccinations, and identify any early health concerns before they become serious.

During these visits, our veterinary team checks:

• Weight and growth progress

• Heart and lung health

• Skin, coat, and dental condition

• Developmental milestones

• Nutritional needs and feeding guidance

By detecting issues early, we can treat conditions promptly and help your pet thrive during these crucial stages.

Puppy Wellness Exams

A puppy’s first year is filled with rapid growth and learning. Wellness exams ensure they get the right start. Puppies typically require a series of veterinary visits during their first few months. At each visit, our veterinarian provides:

• Vaccinations: Protection against distemper, parvovirus, rabies, and other preventable diseases.

• Parasite Control: Screening and prevention for fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms.

• Behavioral Guidance: Tips for training, socialization, and housebreaking.

• Nutrition Advice: Recommendations on food, portion sizes, and supplements for healthy growth.

We also perform a thorough physical exam to check for congenital conditions, such as heart murmurs or hip problems. Regular exams provide peace of mind and prepare your puppy for a lifetime of health and happiness.

Kitten Wellness Exams

Kittens also need specialized veterinary care during their first year. These exams are essential for monitoring their growth, preventing diseases, and supporting their development into strong, healthy adult cats. Our kitten wellness services include:

• Core Vaccinations: Protection against feline distemper, calicivirus, rabies, and more.

• Parasite Prevention: Screening and treatment for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites.

• Litter Box Training Advice: Guidance to ensure successful habits at home.

• Nutritional Counseling: Advice on feeding schedules and high-quality diets for growth.

We also evaluate overall health, including vision, hearing, and dental development. Early checkups allow us to detect potential health concerns and guide you in providing the best care at home.

Building a Lifetime of Health

Wellness exams for puppies and kittens do more than address immediate needs—they set the stage for a lifetime of well-being. These visits also allow our veterinary team to build a strong relationship with your pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for during each visit.

By investing in preventive care today, you are giving your new companion the best chance to live a long, healthy, and happy life.
