As veterinary professionals, we understand the importance of proper kitten and puppy care. That's why we pride ourselves on providing pet care for puppies and kittens. We not only provide exams and vaccinations but can go through what you need to know about taking the best care of your new pet. Visit us at Huntsville Animal Clinic in Huntsville, AL, for more information from a veterinarian near you.
Preparing for Your New Arrival
Before your pup or kitty arrives, it can be important to be prepared. This includes “puppy proofing” by hiding stray wires, chewable items, cleaning products, and anything that's unsafe for your pet. It may also be a good idea to have a fenced or secure area for your puppy to go outside. You might also need a trip to the pet store and stock up on the following:
● Puppy/kitten food
● Treats for training
● Toys
● Brush and comb
● Comfortable bed
● Bowls
● Collar and leash
● Litter box
How We Can Help
It is recommended that your new pal should be examined by a vet soon after you first get him. This may include checking vital signs along with looking for parasites like fleas and worms. It's not uncommon for a puppy or kitten to have intestinal worms and we want to make sure that your pet gets the protection he needs. At the exam, a vet on our team will also discuss with you the importance of:
● Diet and Nutrition
● Spaying and Neutering
● Microchipping
● Staying current on vaccines
● Exercise
● Potty training
● Grooming
● Flea and tick prevention
It's a good idea to make a list of questions you have for our veterinary team and bring them with you to the exam.
