Why Early Wellness Visits Matter

The early stages of a puppy or kitten’s life are when they’re most vulnerable to disease and developmental challenges. That’s why a dedicated vet checkup for your puppy or kitten is so crucial. These appointments help identify any concerns early while offering a structured plan for vaccinations, parasite prevention, and growth tracking.

Our wellness packages are built with the most common needs of young pets in mind. They’re designed to promote long-term health and provide you with peace of mind during these important months of change and growth. Every vet checkup for your puppy or kitten is a chance to build a long-term relationship with a team that understands your pet’s unique journey. During each visit, our veterinary staff takes the time to discuss your pet’s behavior, diet, socialization, and any concerns you may have, offering both clarity and peace of mind for your pet’s well-being.

Puppy & Kitten Wellness Exam FAQ

Most patients have plenty of questions about their new pet’s health and well-being. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is happy to answer your questions and address your concerns once you’ve arrived at our practice. Here are some commonly asked questions about kitten and puppy wellness exams:

When should I schedule my pet’s first visit?

You should schedule a wellness exam as soon as possible after bringing your puppy or kitten home, ideally within the first week. This visit helps begin vaccinations on the right timeline.

What if my puppy or kitten is showing signs of illness?

Our wellness packages are designed for healthy pets. If your pet is experiencing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, we recommend scheduling a separate medical exam so we can address their more immediate needs.

Can I modify the package if my pet has already received some vaccinations?

In most cases, we can tailor the wellness package to suit your pet’s individual history. Give us a call to discuss your pet’s records.

Is the fecal test included in the package enough?

The fecal test includes Giardia screening, which is a common concern in young pets. Additional rechecks or deworming treatments, if needed, may incur extra charges.

Why are so many vaccines needed for young pets?

Puppies and kittens receive passive immunity from their mothers that fades over time. Multiple rounds of vaccines help build and maintain effective protection during this critical window.
