Puppy/Kitten Care

Just like a baby, the care your puppy or kitten receives is critical to their long-term well-being. We can help you by providing excellent medical care, and by teaching you about different aspects of raising a puppy or kitten.(See the "Tails of Buckeye & Indy in our ONLINE NEWSLETTERS about raising a puppy.)

Puppy/Kitten Wellness Exam

During a puppy/kitten wellness exam, your pet will receive a thorough physical examination, your pet will receive age appropriate immunizations, and we will discuss different aspects of raising your puppy or kitten.

During most puppy/kitten exam your pet’s fecal will be checked for internal parasites, a kitten will be checked for Feline Leukemia and Feline AIDS, and your pet will be dewormed.
