Their very first vet visit

At the first wellness exam, our veterinarian performs a thorough physical — checking weight, eyes, ears, heart, lungs, and more — to make sure your new pet is off to a healthy start. We’ll also set up their vaccine schedule and parasite prevention.

Tips for raising healthy puppies and kittens

  • Socialize early — after their vaccines, expose them to new people, pets, and places
  • Start training right away with basic commands
  • Provide age-appropriate nutrition for growing bodies
  • Keep them active to build strong muscles and joints
  • Introduce grooming and dental habits early
  • Stay on top of parasite prevention

Rock Hill Baby

This tiny Rock Hill baby was found outside and brought in for a checkup. Found a kitten on its own? Keep it warm, skip the cow’s milk, and bring it in. We’ll check its health, estimate its age, look for fleas and scan for a microchip.
