Puppy and Kitten Care

Congratulations on Your New Family Member!

Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is a joyful and exciting time. At Lefferts Animal Hospital, we’re here to support you with expert guidance and comprehensive care that lays the foundation for a healthy, well-adjusted pet.

Your First Veterinary Visit

We recommend scheduling your new pet’s first exam shortly after adoption. During this visit, we’ll perform a complete physical, discuss their vaccination and parasite prevention needs, and address any concerns you have about diet, training, or socialization.

Topics We Cover

• Vaccination schedules
• Spay/neuter timing
• Feeding and nutrition advice
• Crate training and housebreaking
• Parasite prevention

Establishing a Lifetime of Care

These early visits help build trust and positive associations with veterinary care. We’ll also help track your pet’s development and monitor for any signs of congenital or developmental issues.

We’re Here to Support You

Raising a puppy or kitten can feel overwhelming, but we’re here every step of the way. No question is too small—our team is happy to help.
