Overview
We emphasize puppy and kitten visits as wellness examinations and educational opportunities, not just trips to “get shots.” Initial visits will consist of a stepwise educational process related to the health, diet, and behavior of your puppy/kitten. We also do a comprehensive 12 system physical examination and the appropriate vaccines during these visits. You will be taught how to clean ears & brush/ wipe teeth for home care as well and learning what is normal so you can recognize what is abnormal.
We will always recommend you to bring a fecal sample in on the first visit and to test for intestinal parasites. Some of which are Zoonotic (meaning people can get them).
