Here at the Clinton Hill Animal Clinic in Brooklyn, NY we offer veterinary care for pets of all ages. As part of spreading awareness for puppies and kittens, our veterinarians are answering some questions new pet owners often have. Whether you are getting your first or third puppy or kitten, you can learn something new about bringing your pet to our animal hospital.
What Do I Need to Know About Puppy and Kitten Awareness?
Puppies and kittens require additional care and attention beyond what you provide for an adult animal. At our veterinary hospital, we provide wellness exams, vaccinations, pet dental care, spay and neuter surgery, DNA testing, pest medication, and microchipping. In addition, our staff can offer your furry animal a personalized nutritional plan to help improve his or her health. If your puppy or kitten has allergies, we provide pet dermatology services to help relieve his or her symptoms.
At What Age Should I Get My Puppy or Kitten To Come in For An Appointment?
We recommend the standard age of six to eight weeks for kittens and puppies. The key is getting them properly immunized and checked as soon as possible to prevent diseases and to see how they are developing. In its first year of life, discuss with our veterinarians about spaying or neutering and microchipping your animal.
What Can I Expect When I Bring My New Pet to the Vet?
At your pet's first visit, we will do a physical exam and perform any lab tests to check for signs of illnesses or health conditions. Along with possible nutritional, skin, vaccine, and fitness recommendations, we will help work with you regarding any orthopedic, soft tissue, or behavioral issues regarding your puppy or kitten.
