Puppy and Kitten Care Appointments with Our Reynoldsburg, OH, Veterinarian

It’s always fun to add a new pet to the family. Before you get too caught up in the excitement, though, there is something important that you should do: schedule a puppy or kitten exam with your vet. Our team at Hillview Veterinary Clinic/Bed & Biscuit know why getting proper puppy and kitten care can be important. We serve Reynoldsburg, OH. 

Importance of the First Vet Visit

When you bring home a puppy or kitten, you might imagine how awesome it’s going to be to build a relationship that lasts for years. Vet visits can help you make sure this happens.

When you take your new pet to our animal hospital, he will receive a physical exam. This exam provides our vet with an understanding of your pet’s overall health and whether there are any conditions present that need to be addressed.

Vaccinations might also be provided according to your pet’s age. These vaccinations help protect your pet from preventable illnesses and diseases. Our vet will provide a schedule for any additional or follow-up vaccinations.

Preventative measures might be recommended for heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Each of these poses a threat to your pet’s health and life and it is important to start these measures as soon as possible.

Our vet will also provide some guidance for you. This can include anything from diet and exercise to how to deal with behaviors associated with certain breeds. This guidance can help you be the best pet owner you can be.

Other Important Services

During your first visit to our animal hospital, we’ll also discuss services like microchipping and spay or neuter procedures. Microchipping isn’t required, of course, but it can be very helpful for you and your pet. If he is ever lost or stolen, being microchipped increases the likelihood of getting him back home safely.

Spay and neuter procedures aren’t required, either, but they are important to consider. Not only can these procedures prevent unwanted litters, but they can also save your pet’s life. Pets that have been spayed or neutered have a lower chance of developing certain types of cancer.
