New Kitten? What to Do First
Bringing a new fluffy kitten into your home can mean a great deal of joy and excitement for you and your family. Your newest family member needs some love and attention to get off on the right start. In Brooklyn, the Clinton Hill Animal Clinic team wants to help you and your pet with the right veterinary care.
Accessories for Your New Pet
To get started, your new kitten will need a food and water bowl. By providing food in a specific area at a set time, your pet will begin to know when to expect food and where to find it. Stainless steel bowls are the easiest to keep clean. You may also want to consider putting a washable mat under them to keep the area clean and tidy.
Litter Box
A roomy litter box will keep debris from being tracked around the house. Domed boxes give kittens a sense of privacy and safety. A plastic scooper can be used to remove soiled litter for easy cleaning. The litter box should be completely cleaned and washed at least once a week. Always wear gloves and wash your hands after handling the litter box to prevent any disease.
Scratching Post
Cats naturally enjoy scratching and sharpening their claws. Provide them with a scratching post so that they don’t begin clawing items that you don’t want them to destroy. They will learn that the post is an acceptable area to scratch.
Vaccinations
As a premier veterinarian, our clinic provides your pets with core vaccinations to keep them healthy. The team at our animal hospital will also create a personalized vaccination schedule to meet your pet’s unique needs. At Clinton Hill Animal Clinic, we care for the healthy life of your pet.
