Puppy and Kitten Care

Puppies and kittens require different wellness care from adult animals. Because they are younger and smaller, their dosages, types of medications, and timetables are customized for each baby pet.

Puppies and kittens have developed body systems and strengthened immune systems, so their care must be handled delicately. Remember, they are vulnerable and susceptible to attracting ticks, fleas, and other parasites. Your vet can give specific advice based on your pet and its unique and brilliant life.

Common Illnesses in Puppies & Kittens

Illnesses may arise in puppies and kittens by the nature of their young age and growing immune system. Your veterinarian can diagnose the ailments and provide medical care to improve their condition.

• Pneumonia is a common illness that strikes young puppies. It is partly due to bacteria and the trauma and stress of changing to a new home, missing its siblings, and other triggers.
• Gastrointestinal issues develop in puppies because their gastrointestinal systems are still developing and vulnerable to stresses like moving in with a new family.
• Upper respiratory infections are caused by viruses that kittens pick up and bacterial infections.
• Accident injuries are a given because kittens are rough and tumble at a young, playful age.

Contact us today if your puppy or kitten is affected by any of these illnesses. We can help get your pet on the road to wellness.
