If you’re planning on bringing a new puppy or kitten into your Trumbull, then Trumbull Animal Hospital would like to offer you hearty congratulations on the new addition to your family. We would also like to remind you of some things you should do to ensure the health and happiness of your new pet now and in the future.
Introduce Your Pet to Your Veterinarian
Schedule an appointment with your vet for an initial health examination of your pet. A veterinarian will be able to discover any existing health issues and advise you on the things you need to do to keep your puppy or kitten well in their first days at home, and it will help them to become comfortable with visiting a veterinarian.
Get Your Puppy or Kitten’s Shots
Your new kitten or puppy will need several vaccinations to protect them from a variety of diseases. Don’t delay on these as they’re too important for their health and well-being.
Disease Prevention Medications
Ask your veterinarian about the preventative medications that your puppy or kitten will need. These are necessary to protect them from parasites like heartworms, fleas, and ticks.
Consider A Microchip
If your new pet ever escapes your house or yard and gets lost, having a microchip placed just under their skin is the most effective way to make sure they get home. It’s inexpensive and easy, and it’s a great investment in their safety.
