Puppies & Kittens: Ensuring a Healthy Start at Tanilba Bay Vet

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is an exciting time, and ensuring their health right from the start is essential for a happy, long life. At Tanilba Bay Vet, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive health check within the first few days of bringing your new pet home. This initial consultation helps us assess their overall wellbeing, identify any congenital or developmental issues, and provide you with expert advice on how to keep them healthy and thriving.

Our Initial Consultation Covers:

• Vaccination Timelines:
  We'll guide you through the essential vaccinations your puppy or kitten needs and when to schedule them to ensure they are protected from common diseases.

• Nutritional Advice:
  Proper nutrition is key to your pet's growth and development. We’ll provide tailored advice on feeding schedules, portion sizes, and the best food options for your pet's breed and age.

• Worming, Flea & Tick Prevention:
  Protect your new pet from parasites with our expert recommendations on the right prevention treatments, ensuring your pet stays comfortable and healthy.

• Microchipping:
  Microchipping is a permanent form of identification, and we’ll help you get your puppy or kitten microchipped so they can always find their way back home if they get lost.

• The Importance of Dental Care:
  Good dental hygiene is often overlooked in young pets. We’ll share tips on keeping your puppy or kitten’s teeth clean and healthy to prevent future dental issues.

• Behavioural Discussion:
  Understanding your pet’s behaviour is crucial for a harmonious home. We’ll discuss any behavioural concerns you might have and provide guidance on how to train and nurture your new companion.

• Puppy School & Socialisation:
  Early socialisation is key for well-adjusted puppies. We’ll discuss the benefits of puppy school and guide you on how to help your new pet interact safely with other dogs and people.

At Tanilba Bay Vet, we’re here to support you in every step of your puppy or kitten’s journey to a healthy, happy life. Schedule your initial consultation today and give your new pet the best start possible!
