- Proper nutrition and feeding schedules
- Parasite prevention and deworming
- Behavioral training and socialization tips

Our goal is to guide you through each stage of your new pet’s growth and development, ensuring they remain healthy and happy for years to come.
Puppy & Kitten Care FAQs
When should I bring my new puppy or kitten to the vet?
We recommend scheduling your pet’s first exam at 6–8 weeks of age to begin vaccinations and discuss care essentials.
What vaccinations does my puppy or kitten need?
Puppies typically need distemper, parvovirus, and rabies vaccines, while kittens need FVRCP and rabies vaccines. We’ll design a schedule for your pet.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
Most puppies and kittens are spayed or neutered around 5–6 months old, depending on breed and health.
How often should young pets visit the vet?
Young pets need checkups every 3–4 weeks until their vaccine series is complete, then annually for wellness exams.
What should I feed my puppy or kitten?
Feed a high-quality diet made specifically for growth. Our team can recommend trusted brands and feeding guidelines.
