Building a Healthy Foundation
Your puppy or kitten’s first year is critical to their long-term health and development. During this time, we recommend:
- Regular checkups to monitor growth and detect early issues
- Vaccinations (both core and optional, based on lifestyle and risk)
- Fecal testing and deworming to treat and prevent parasites
- Nutrition counseling to support healthy growth
- Monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention
These routine visits also give us the opportunity to address your concerns and provide support for everything from house training and nail trimming to behavioral guidance and safety at home.
Planning for the Future
We’ll also talk with you about key decisions that will support your pet’s long-term wellness, including:
- Spay or Neuter Surgery
The best timing depends on your pet’s species, breed, and lifestyle, and we’re here to help you decide what’s right.
- Pet Health Insurance
We can discuss how to protect against unexpected veterinary costs and choose a plan that works for your needs.
