Your puppy’s and kitten’s first year of care at Mercy Animal Hospital includes:
Physical Examinations: Your puppy’s or kitten’s lifetime of wellness starts with the first comprehensive physical exam. Puppies and kittens should have 3-4 exams between the ages of 6-15 weeks. These visits are important because they provide your pet’s veterinarian with an opportunity to assess your pet’s overall health and to administer vaccines.
Vaccinations: Due to their developing immune systems, puppies and kittens must receive a series of properly staged vaccines. Because every puppy and kitten is unique, we tailor our vaccination recommendations based on their lifestyle, breed and suggested medical guidelines.
Diagnostic Testing: Puppies and kittens should be tested for intestinal parasites and kittens tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).
Additional Recommendations: Your veterinarian will also discuss and recommend other services, such as spaying, neutering, and microchipping.
We also take plenty of time during these visits to offer health care, nutrition and training advice and discuss any concerns you have. This is your new family member and we’re happy to answer all your questions.
