Puppy/Kitten Care

Bringing a new puppy or kitten into your home is an exciting and important moment. Early veterinary care helps your pet build a strong foundation for a healthy life. At Healthy Pet Hospital in Orange, CA, we offer guidance and support to help your new companion thrive from the very beginning.

Wellness Exams

Your pet’s first exam should take place within the first week of arriving home. During this visit, we perform a complete physical check and discuss your puppy or kitten’s medical history and daily needs. A tailored vaccination schedule is also created to protect against serious diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and rabies.

Deworming and Flea Control

Parasites are common in young pets and can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. We provide safe and effective deworming treatments that help eliminate internal parasites and help prevent reinfection. Our team also recommends flea control products suited to your pet’s age and weight, helping to keep your home and pet pest-free.

Spaying or Neutering

Spaying or neutering not only prevents unwanted litters but also supports long-term health. This routine surgery reduces the risk of certain cancers and can improve behavior in both male and female pets. We will discuss the ideal timing for the surgery with you based on your pet’s breed, age, and overall condition.

Nutrition and Socialization

Proper nutrition is essential for healthy growth and development. We help you choose the right food and feeding schedule to meet your cat or dog’s needs. To support emotional well-being, we also offer tips for socializing your pet with people, animals, and new environments.

Microchipping

Microchipping gives your pet a permanent ID in case he or she ever gets lost, and is now commonly required for travel, both domestically and internationally. We recommend having this done during a regular visit, at the time of their first rabies vaccination or at the time of spay or neuter surgery. Our veterinarians will walk you through the process and make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable.
