Puppy/Kitten and Adult Wellness Exams

Proper puppy care involves establishing a consistent routine that includes regular feeding schedules, appropriate exercise, and early socialization with people and other animals. Puppies require frequent meals throughout the day, typically three to four times daily, along with access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable sleeping area. Regular veterinary checkups are essential during the first year to ensure proper growth and development while staying current with vaccinations and preventative treatments.

Signs that your puppy may be unwell include changes in appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or unusual behavior patterns. Watch for excessive whining, reluctance to play, hiding, or any physical symptoms like discharge from the eyes or nose. If you notice any of these warning signs, contact our veterinary team immediately, as puppies can become seriously ill very quickly.

Kitten care requires attention to their unique developmental needs, including proper nutrition, litter box training, and gradual introduction to their new environment. Young kittens need frequent small meals throughout the day, a warm and secure space for sleeping, and gentle handling to promote socialization. Regular veterinary visits during the first few months are crucial for monitoring growth, administering vaccinations, and addressing any health concerns that may arise.

Warning signs of illness in kittens include loss of appetite, lethargy, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in litter box habits. Watch for excessive hiding, crying, or any discharge from the eyes, nose, or ears that could indicate infection. Contact our veterinary team immediately if you observe any of these symptoms, as kittens have developing immune systems that make them particularly vulnerable to rapid health changes.
