Puppy and Kitten Care
One of the most exciting moments in a pet parent's life is welcoming a puppy or kitten into their home. We, at Muir Oaks Veterinary Hospital, would like to congratulate you on your new addition to your family. We look forward to providing your new best friend with quality, personalized care.
One of the first things you should do for your new puppy or kitten is to schedule a visit to meet your veterinary care team. These initial visits provide a unique opportunity to get you and your new family member off on the right foot.
Your tiny newcomer will require special care for proper growth and healthy development, and we are here to help. Our comprehensive approach addresses your pet care needs from disease prevention to pet behavior.
Your puppy or kitten's first visit will include a complete "nose-to-tail" physical exam. We will be on the lookout for any signs of disease and will make sure that your puppy or kitten is in good health. We will also initiate disease and parasite prevention protocols tailored to your pet's specific needs.
We welcome any questions and concerns. We can help provide recommendations for proper nutrition, house training, and behavioral issues, along with offering advice on introducing your newcomer to other pets and family members. Even if you have experience with puppies and kittens, you'll soon find out that each pet is unique and you'll definitely learn something new!
Microchipping
Every year, numerous animals go missing and are never found again. We highly recommend that you consider microchipping your puppy or kitten. This safe procedure will help avoid this tragedy.
