Our Modesto vets provide new pet parents with the guidance, advice, and high quality veterinary services they need during their puppy or kitten's critical first year of life.
Essential Care for Puppies & Kittens
We know that bringing home your new puppy or kitten home is an exciting time! That adorable, cuddly new family member is bound to bring a smile to everyone's face.
That said, fun as it may be, there is also some serious health care business that needs to be taken care of during your new pet's first year of life.
That's why our Modesto vets will work with you to develop a custom health care plan to meet your pet's specific needs during their first year, and provide you with plenty of support and guidance along the way!
Your Pet’s First Appointment
Your puppy should first visit the vet at around six weeks of age, and kittens should have their first vet visit at around eight weeks.
During this initial visit, your pet will receive a complete physical examination to assess their overall health, look for signs of any congenital defects, and check for external parasites.
Our team will also administer deworming medications for roundworms and hookworms, and the first round of puppy or kitten vaccinations.
More About Vaccines & Prevention
Finally, for kittens, we will perform a blood test to check for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Follow-up Appointments
Puppies and kittens should attend 3 to 4 veterinary appointments between the ages of 6 and 16 weeks. These visits allow our vets to assess your pet's overall health and to administer vaccines on schedule.
