Congrats on welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home! What an exciting time! At The WellPet Center Veterinary Hospital, we’re here to support you and your furry friend during this important stage of their life. Our Puppy & Kitten Care program provides comprehensive care and guidance to ensure your little one grows up healthy and happy.
Why Early Veterinary Care is Essential
Puppies and kittens have developing immune systems, making them more susceptible to diseases. Vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially fatal diseases. We’ll create a personalized vaccination schedule based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors. Puppies and kittens are also prone to parasites like fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms. We’ll recommend regular parasite-preventive medications to keep your pet safe and healthy.
Standard Schedule of Vaccinations
Puppies and kittens typically require a series of vaccinations starting at around 6-8 weeks of age. These vaccinations protect against diseases such as:
- Distemper
- Parvovirus
- Adenovirus
- Rabies
- Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)
Nutrition & Behavior Counseling
At The WellPet Center, we’re here to guide you through every step of your pet’s journey. Our personalized nutrition and behavior counseling ensures that your pet receives the right diet and training support to thrive, helping them lead a healthy, happy life.
Early Disease Detection
Regular wellness exams are key to keeping your pet in top health. Through routine checkups, we can identify potential health concerns early—when they’re often easier and more effective to treat—giving your pet the best chance for a long, vibrant life.
