Puppy & Kitten Services

Early Veterinary Care for Puppy & Kitten Health

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is an exciting time! Your adorable new family member is bound to bring a smile to everyone's face.

Along with the joy of becoming a new pet parent comes the responsibility of providing your new pet with the essential healthcare they need to achieve long-term good health.

Our Omemee veterinarians provide guidance, advice, and targeted veterinary care for puppies or kittens during their critical first year of life.

Your Pet’s First Appointment

Our veterinary team recommends that puppies attend their first veterinary appointment around six weeks of age, and kittens around eight weeks of age.

Examination & Diagnostics

During your pet's first vet visit, your puppy or kitten will receive a complete physical examination to assess their overall health, look for signs of any congenital issues, and check for parasites.

Kittens will also have a blood test done to check for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus.

Parasite Prevention & Vaccinations

Deworming medications and the first round of puppy or kitten vaccinations will also be provided during this visit.

Follow-Up Appointments

Approximately three to four veterinary appointments will be required for puppies and kittens between the ages of 6 and 16 weeks. These visits allow our vets to monitor your pet's health and administer vaccines on schedule.
