New Puppy And Kitten Care

Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Let us help you make sure that they are happy and healthy. Puppies and kittens need their core vaccines and boosters to help prevent serious diseases. Boosters must be done four weeks to six weeks apart. Past six weeks, the vaccine process must be started over as boosters will not take effect. See the following chart for when your new pet is due for their required vaccines.

What if your new addition is a little bit older but still needs vaccines?

It’s just as important to get your new cat or dog vaccinated! If your cat or dog is over 12 weeks, please see the following chart. As with the younger chart, these vaccines are to be done four to six weeks apart.

Puppies and kittens also will have roundworms when they are born, which are an internal parasite that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. They can be passed on to humans and other animals in your home. It is recommended to deworm, even if your pet is not showing any symptoms to prevent any surprise issues.
