Do you have a kitten in your home? Or are you adding a puppy to your household? These young pets need a lot of care to thrive and develop in healthy ways—and our veterinarian near you can help. At Hamlin Veterinary Clinic, we offer comprehensive puppy and kitten care services in Hamlin, PA. These pet care services are designed to ensure that your new pet enjoys a happy and healthy life. Here’s how we can help your young pet.
Comprehensive Pet Exams for Puppies and Kittens
Why does your new pet need a checkup? These visits help us identify any health problems and monitor your puppy or kitten’s development. You can expect the following from these visits:
- A physical exam to check their weight, heart, lungs, baby teeth, ears, eyes, and more
- Vaccinations when they are old enough—usually around 8 weeks
- Parasite control for internal and external parasites, such as worms and fleas
- Guidance on puppy or kitten nutrition and diet
- Advice on training puppies and kittens
Other Puppy and Kitten Services
As your young pet grows, they may need additional care. We offer the following services:
- Nail trims
- Urine and blood tests as needed
- Microchipping
- Spaying and neutering when they are old enough
How Often Puppies and Kittens Need Vet Care
Many adult pets only need a yearly exam, but younger pets require more frequent visits. Puppies and kittens typically need to visit us every few weeks or more after their initial exam. During these visits, we monitor their growth and administer booster shots for rabies and other diseases.
How to Help Your Pet Stay Healthy
What can you do to support your puppy or kitten? In between appointments, you can:
- Feed a healthy diet that meets your pet’s nutritional needs
- Begin house training your pet
- Work on obedience training
- Provide a safe and comfortable sleeping area, such as a crate or pet bed
- Offer safe toys to stimulate your pet’s brain
