Puppy and kitten questions
When should I bring my new puppy or kitten in?
Book a first visit soon after you bring your new pet home. We’ll do a full exam, start or continue their vaccines and parasite prevention, and answer your questions about feeding, training and litter habits.
When do puppies and kittens get their vaccines?
Most puppies and kittens get a series of vaccines at about 6 to 8 weeks, 10 to 12 weeks and 14 to 16 weeks old. Your veterinarian will set a schedule based on your pet’s age and history.
What should I bring to the first visit?
Bring any records from the breeder, shelter or rescue, including vaccines and deworming. A list of questions helps too, so nothing gets missed.

Congratulations on your new bundle of fur…
It’s exciting having a puppy or kitten, but there’s a lot to be mindful of. Don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through all the decisions you’ll need to make for your little one.
Puppies and kittens should be vaccinated early and often: at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks, and at 14-16 weeks. At this stage in their lives, our tiny companions are more susceptible to gastrointestinal worms. There are also ticks and fleas to consider, so you’ll want a parasite control plan.
Nutrition is also important for puppies and kittens who have different dietary requirements than adults. They need extra energy for their growing bodies! We can help you pick a diet that suits your pet’s lifestyle and needs.
