Petcare Animal Clinic

Dr. Smith likes to see puppies and kittens, usually at 8 weeks of age, although if they come from a kennel or humane society we would recommend within 48 hours of when you bring it home.

At your pet’s first visit, Dr. Smith starts with a physical exam, where your puppy is examined from the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail, so please bring a list of any questions or concerns.

We always recommend checking their fecal matter, to make sure your pet doesn’t have intestinal parasites or worms. It’s possible they got these from their mother or from their environment, and depending on which, there are different treatments. So please bring a fresh stool sample from your pet with you when you come.
