New Puppy & Kitten
Puppy
As a new puppy parent, you may be wondering when to take your pup to the veterinarian for their first check-up. Most veterinarians recommend a visit between six to eight weeks of age for a thorough health examination, vaccinations, and parasite treatment/preventives. This visit is also a fantastic opportunity for you to discuss your puppy’s vaccination schedule, behavior, and training with your veterinarian. As excited as you may be to bring your new puppy home, it’s important to remember that regular visits to the veterinarian are crucial for your puppy’s overall health and wellbeing. By following your veterinarian’s recommended exam schedule, you can rest easy knowing that your little companion will receive the proper protection and care they need to thrive.
Kitten
As a new kitten parent, it is essential to prioritize your furry friend’s health, and vaccinations play a crucial role in this aspect. Infectious diseases can be fatal to your young kitten, which is why vaccinations can go a long way in protecting them from such ailments. It is vital to note that immunizations must be given in a series, and following the prescribed intervals is of utmost importance. Your kitten’s shots will be initiated when they are between six to eight weeks old, and you will need to be diligent in getting them repeated every three to four weeks until they reach four months of age. By being vigilant with your kitten’s vaccination series, you’ll be ensuring that your cuddly companion is equipped to lead a healthy life.
