Primary Care - Puppies
Vaccinations: Puppies need a series of vaccinations starting at about 6-8 weeks of age to protect them from diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and rabies. Regular booster shots are essential as they grow.
Deworming and Parasite Prevention: Puppies are susceptible to worms, fleas, and ticks. Regular deworming and preventative treatments help keep them parasite-free.
Nutrition: Providing a balanced diet specifically formulated for puppies is crucial for their growth. Quality puppy food rich in essential nutrients supports bone development, immune health, and energy needs.
Routine Vet Check-ups: Regular visits to the veterinarian help monitor the puppy’s growth, identify any health concerns early, and keep their vaccination and parasite prevention schedules on track.
Microchipping and Identification: Microchipping provides a permanent form of identification, ensuring that if a puppy gets lost, they can be easily returned to their owner.
Spaying or Neutering: This procedure, usually recommended around 6-12 months, helps prevent unwanted litters and can contribute to better overall health and behavior.
Socialization and Training: Early socialization with other animals, people, and environments helps puppies develop into well-behaved and confident dogs. Basic training, including housebreaking and learning commands, is also a key part of primary care. Be sure to bring your puppy to us for Doggie Daycare, a great way for your puppy to be socialized with others. Requirements apply, please call us for more information.
Dental Care: Introducing dental care early, such as brushing teeth or using dental chews, helps prevent future dental problems.
Grooming: Regular grooming at Ivy Pet’s, including brushing, nail trimming, and baths, keeps a puppy clean and healthy while also allowing early detection of skin issues or parasites.
Primary Veterinary Care - Kittens
Primary kitten care involves providing essential health services and support during the first few months of a kitten’s life, which are critical for their growth and development. This care includes a variety of important steps and practices:
Vaccinations: Vaccines are crucial to protect your kitten from common and potentially deadly diseases such as feline distemper, feline leukemia, and upper respiratory infections.
Parasite Prevention: Kittens are prone to parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms. Regular treatments and preventative measures help keep your kitten safe from these pests.
Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition is vital for your kitten’s growth. A veterinarian can provide guidance on the best diet, portion sizes, and feeding schedules to ensure your kitten gets the right nutrients.
Wellness Exams: Routine vet visits help monitor your kitten’s health, growth, and development. These exams can detect health issues early, allowing for timely treatment.
Behavior and Socialization Guidance: Early guidance on behavior, litter training, and socialization helps your kitten develop into a well-adjusted adult cat. This includes tips on introducing your kitten to new environments, people, and other pets.
Spaying or Neutering: Discussing the right time to spay or neuter your kitten is an essential part of primary care, helping to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain health problems later in life.
