Puppy & Kitten Veterinary Care in Wisconsin Dells
Care for Puppies & Kittens
Bringing a new puppy or kitten home is a reason to get excited! Your buddy and cute new family member won't be able to help but bring a smile to the faces of everyone who sees them.
As fun as your young pet may be, there is also some serious health care business you will need to attend to during the first year of your companion's life.
Our vets will develop a customized health care plan according to your pet's specific needs throughout their first year and will be sure to provide you with ample support and guidance all along the way.
Your Pet’s First Appointment
Ideally, puppies should have their first veterinary appointment at about 6 weeks old. Kittens should have theirs at around 8 weeks old
During this initial visit, your pet will receive a complete physical examination to assess their overall health, look for signs of any congenital defects, and check for external parasites.
We will administer deworming treatments for hookworms, roundworms and other intestinal parasites in addition to your pet's fir round of kitten or puppy vaccinations.
More About Vaccines & Prevention
Lastly, for kittens, we will perform a blood test to ensure that feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus aren't present in their body.
Follow-up Appointments
Puppies and kittens should attend 3 to 4 veterinary appointments between the ages of 6 and 16 weeks.
These initial visits give our veterinarians the chance to assess your pet's overall health and well-being as well as to administer their routine vaccinations on schedule.
