Puppies and kittens are a joy but also a responsibility.
The first year of their lives lays the foundation for their lifetime. As a caring pet owner, you want to make sure that your newest pet gets the veterinary care that they need. The veterinary team at easyvet Cumming will guide you through the essentials that your growing pet needs, from vaccinations to nutrition and everything in between, at our vet clinic in Cumming, GA.
Vaccine Schedules: Protecting Your Puppy or Kitten
Vaccinations protect puppies and kittens from preventable illnesses. Vaccines typically begin at 6 to 8 weeks of age, followed by boosters every 3 to 4 weeks until they are about 16 weeks old.
Core vaccinations, such as rabies and distemper, will be a part of every puppy or kitten vaccine schedule. Additional non-core vaccines may be recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors. Our veterinarians will create a personalized vaccination schedule for your puppy or kitten so that they receive proper immunization during this critical stage of growth.
It is important that you follow your kitten’s or puppy’s vaccination schedule. If you need to reschedule a vaccine booster appointment, do so right away. There is a limited window of time between boosters, and if you wait too long, your pet’s vaccine series will need to be restarted. If you have any questions about your pet’s immunization schedule, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Your puppy or kitten’s health involves more than just vaccinations.
We take a comprehensive approach to veterinary care to help puppies and kittens grow into healthy adults. During their first year, you can expect:
Physical Exams:
Regular checkups monitor their growth, assess their development, and catch any potential health concerns.
Deworming:
Deworming treatments eliminate internal parasites that your pet may be born with.
Microchipping:
Microchipping gives your pet a permanent ID in case they ever get lost.
Nutritional Guidance:
Growing pets have unique dietary needs. Our team can talk to you about how to choose the right food to support their growth.
Behavioral Advice:
From destructive behaviors to socialization, we will answer your questions and give practical tips for managing your puppy’s or kitten’s behavior.
