Your Pet’s First Appointment

Ideally, puppies should attend their first veterinary appointment when they are about six weeks old and kittens approximately eight weeks.

At this initial visit, your furry friend will receive a full physical examination to evaluate their overall health, check for signs of any congenital defects, and test for external parasites.

More About Physical Exams

We'll also provide them with deworming medications to protect them from roundworms and hookworms, as well as their first set of kitten or puppy vaccinations.

More About Vaccines & Prevention

Finally, for kittens, we will conduct a blood test to check for feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia.

Follow-up Appointments

Puppies and kittens should see their veterinarian 3 to 4 times when they are between 6 and 16 weeks old. These appointments provide our vets with the opportunity to evaluate your pet's overall health and to administer all required vaccines on schedule.
