The Importance of Early Veterinary Care
The first few months of your puppy or kitten’s life are critical to their long-term health. Preventive care—including vaccinations, parasite protection, and wellness exams—helps protect against disease and ensures healthy growth and development.

What’s Included in Puppy & Kitten Wellness Visits
During a typical wellness visit, our veterinarians perform a complete head-to-tail exam and create a personalized healthcare plan for your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle.
Your puppy or kitten’s visits may include:
Comprehensive physical exam to evaluate growth, development, and overall health.

Parasite screening and prevention for roundworms, fleas, ticks, and heartworm.
