How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
We recommend scheduling your puppy or kitten's first veterinary appointment within the first few weeks of bringing them home. Early visits allow us to assess their health, begin their vaccination series, and give you a clear picture of what to expect in the months ahead.

Most puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines given several weeks apart to build effective immunity. The exact schedule depends on your pet's age, species, and lifestyle. Our team will walk you through what's recommended and why at your first visit.
What should I bring to my pet's first appointment?
It's helpful to bring any records from the breeder, shelter, or previous veterinarian, including documentation of vaccines already given. A list of any medications, supplements, or foods your pet is currently receiving is also useful for our team to review.
How do I know if my puppy or kitten is growing normally?
Regular wellness exams are the best way to monitor your young pet's growth and development. Our veterinarians will track weight, assess physical development, and flag anything that warrants a closer look—giving you reassurance and early intervention if needed.
