Puppy and Kitten Care FAQs
When should I bring my new puppy or kitten to the veterinarian?
Ideally, your new pet should be seen within 2–3 days of coming home, even if they appear healthy. This allows us to perform a thorough physical examination, discuss vaccines and parasite prevention, review nutrition, and identify any concerns early.
What vaccines does my puppy or kitten need?
Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations during their first few months of life to build strong immunity. We’ll create a personalized vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure they receive the protection they need.
Does my new pet need deworming if they seem healthy?
Yes. Many puppies and kittens are born with intestinal parasites or become infected shortly after birth. Even if they don’t have obvious symptoms, routine fecal testing and deworming are an important part of keeping them healthy and protecting your family.
When should my puppy or kitten be microchipped?
We recommend microchipping as soon as possible. A microchip provides permanent identification that greatly increases the chances of being reunited with your pet if they ever become lost. It can often be placed during a routine visit or at the time of their spay or neuter procedure.
When should my puppy or kitten be spayed or neutered?
The ideal timing depends on your pet’s species, breed, size, and overall health. During your wellness visits, we’ll discuss the latest recommendations and help you determine the best time for your individual pet.
What can I do to help my puppy or kitten feel comfortable at the veterinary clinic?
Early positive experiences help create lifelong confidence. Bring plenty of treats, use a comfortable carrier or secure leash, and keep visits calm and positive.
At Cascade Heights Veterinary Center, we practice low-stress, fear-conscious handling to help your pet feel as relaxed as possible during their visit.
