Behaviour and Training Tips
We support your pet’s development with practical behaviour and training guidance for a well-adjusted companion.
Spay or Neuter Consultation
We discuss the benefits and timing of spay and neuter procedures to support long-term health and prevent overpopulation.
Microchipping
Microchipping provides a safe, permanent way to help identify and reunite you with your pet if lost.
Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention
We offer effective, year-round protection against fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease.
These early visits also give our veterinarians a chance to detect any congenital conditions or developmental concerns. We tailor care plans to meet your pet’s unique needs and provide personalized education to help you feel confident in your role as a new pet owner.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
During your pet’s first appointment, our team will:
Perform a full physical exam
Establish a vaccination and deworming schedule
Discuss age-appropriate nutrition
Review socialization and training practices
Offer recommendations for parasite prevention
We’ll also answer any questions you may have about your pet’s behaviour, health, or daily care needs. Our goal is to create a stress-free environment for both pets and owners while building a long-term care relationship.
Why Early Veterinary Care Is So Important
Puppies and kittens are more vulnerable to illness, parasites, and nutritional deficiencies than adult pets. Timely veterinary visits can help prevent:
Parvovirus and distemper
Feline leukemia
Respiratory infections
Intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms
Fleas, ticks, and mites
Vaccines, parasite protection, and nutritional support during the first year of life are essential to safeguard your pet’s health. With early veterinary intervention, we can catch problems before they become serious and set your pet up for lifelong wellness.
