Puppy and Kitten Care

The arrival of a puppy or kitten in your family is an exciting time. This new companion will bring years of joy to you and your family. Their arrival comes with a list of new responsibilities for all of you. The entire staff at Affordable Animal Care in Whittier is dedicated to helping you learn the ropes of raising a new pet.

Exams for Your Little One

It is best to schedule a checkup for your new puppy or kitten as soon as it arrives at your home so you can be sure it is healthy. Standard immunizations are given to most animals when they reach six weeks of age.

What to Expect during Your First Visit

You will be given information on how you can help your new pet live a happy, healthy life during this initial visit. We know you and your family will have many questions during this exciting time regarding:

How to care for your new pet’s teeth
Possible congenital problems your pet may have
What immunizations your pet will need
Whether you should spay or neuter your pet
What kind of food you should feed your pet
How to tackle the task of house training your pet

There is no such thing as a silly question. It is our pleasure to help you learn everything you need to know in order to raise your pet to be healthy and strong. The greater your knowledge about your puppy or kitten, the better pet owner you’ll be! You and your new pet are an important part of our practice. Big or small, we will happily answer every question you have as you begin this exciting new journey.

Schedule Your Appointment

One of the responsibilities that comes with being a new pet owner is caring for your new puppy or kitten’s health through regular checkups with our veterinarian. Regular visits to Affordable Animal Hospital help to ensure that any issues that may arise can be found and treated early. We are always here to answer questions and concerns. It’s a team effort!
