These first few months matter to creating a healthy foundation for your new companion. We will be partners in your pet’s care.
Bringing Puppies and Kittens to the Vet
One of the most important things you can do for your new pet is schedule a wellness exam as soon as possible. During this visit at easyvet Rosenberg, our veterinarians will establish baseline health. Depending on your puppy or kitten’s age, we may also administer important early vaccines, begin parasite prevention, and discuss microchipping.
First vet visits are the perfect opportunity for new pet owners to ask questions. We know there’s a lot to learn—what to feed, how to housetrain, how to socialize. Our veterinary team gives judgment-free, experienced advice. Every puppy and kitten deserves a thoughtful start, and we are proud to be a trusted partner in that process.
Parasites are common in young pets.
Having parasites like intestinal worms or fleas poses significant health risks if not addressed early. Deworming will be a part of your pet’s early care plan. Puppies and kittens are often born with or exposed to parasites such as roundworms or hookworms, which can lead to diarrhea, weight loss, and more serious complications.
Preventing fleas, ticks, and heartworms from infecting your pet in the first place is equally important. This is especially true in warmer climates like Texas. Year-round protection is a must. Our team will develop a prevention plan that begins at the appropriate age and continues through adulthood, keeping your pet protected.
Kitten and Puppy FAQs
Bring any records from the breeder, shelter, or previous vet, as well as a list of questions you may have. A recent stool sample, taken within a few hours of the appointment, can also be useful to run an intestinal parasite screening.
Most pets begin their vaccine series at 8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until about 16+ weeks. This schedule builds a strong immune response and lasting protection. If you ever need to reschedule a booster appointment, please call right away to make sure your small companion is rescheduled within the necessary timeframe.
Yes, many safe and effective preventatives are specifically formulated for puppies and kittens. Typically, parasite preventatives can be given around the same time that your pet will start their vaccinations: 8 weeks. Our team will guide you on the right options for your pet’s age and weight.
If you believe that your young pet is ill or injured, please give us a call. For life-threatening medical emergencies, look up your closest animal ER. We encourage you to save our number and the phone number for the closest emergency facility to your home on your cell phone.
