💉 Vaccines & Deworming

• Dogs: DHPP, Rabies, Bordetella, Lepto (as needed)
• Cats: FVRCP, Rabies, FeLV (if outdoor)
• Both: Start deworming by 2–3 weeks of age and repeat regularly

Vaccines aren’t optional — they’re your pet’s armor against deadly diseases.

🛏️ Safe Space, Sleep, and Socializing

Set up a cozy crate or bed. Keep noisy kids or other pets calm around them for the first few days. Slowly introduce new environments and sounds — this shapes confident adult behavior.

🥣 Nutrition & Feeding Schedule

• Puppies: 3–4 meals a day of puppy formula kibble or wet food
• Kittens: Small meals every 4–6 hours, kitten-specific food only
• No table scraps, cow milk, or raw meat

Ask our vet which food fits your breed, age, and size.

🚽 Potty Training & Litter Box Setup

Start early and stay consistent. Reward positive behavior immediately. Accidents are normal — punishment isn’t productive. Ask our team for breed-specific tips.

🧠 Basic Training & Play

Puppies and kittens learn fast — good and bad habits. Start with short, daily sessions: sit, stay, come, name recall. Use toys, praise, and gentle correction.

🧪 Monthly Prevention

• Flea & tick protection
• Intestinal deworming
• Heartworm meds (for dogs)

We’ll give you a custom plan during your first visit.
