Puppy Care in Lakewood
Puppies are bundles of energy that need routine checkups, vaccinations, and other care. The good news is that a vet on our team can do a physical exam to check for health issues and administer vaccines and booster shots once your puppy is old enough. Puppies have core vaccines that are needed, such as rabies and parvovirus. We might also recommend non-core vaccines in some cases if you’re going to be taking your puppy to daycare or if he has other lifestyle habits. During your visit, you can ask our team for advice on your puppy’s nutrition, exercise, behavior, training, and more. We can also let you know when you can bring your puppy to us for spaying or neutering.
Kitten Care Near You
Kittens are playful pets that need to have physical exams, vaccines, and other services as they grow into adult cats. We will check your kitten for any signs of health problems and also give your kitten vaccines and booster shots at the right ages. Kittens typically need core vaccines, such as rabies and feline distemper. A vet on our team might recommend non-core vaccines for kittens as well. You can talk to our team about what to feed your kitten, how much exercise he should get, and more. When your kitten is old enough, we can spay or neuter him or her for you.
When to Schedule Puppy or Kitten Care
Your new puppy or kitten should have an initial visit with our vet shortly after you bring him home. This allows us to check for early signs of health issues. If there are any, we can address these as soon as possible. We’ll let you know how often to schedule visits for vaccines and other kinds of care as your puppy or kitten grows. Keep in mind that puppies and kittens need a series of booster shots in order to be protected from certain diseases.
