Helping Your New Best Friend Thrive from the Start
Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is an exciting and joyful time—but it also comes with important responsibilities. Young pets have unique health needs, and early veterinary care plays a big role in helping them grow into healthy, well-behaved adults.
At Wewoka Animal Hospital, we offer gentle, thorough care designed just for puppies and kittens. From wellness exams and vaccinations to spaying/neutering and microchipping, we’re here to support you and your new pet every step of the way.
Puppy Care
Puppies grow quickly and need multiple vet visits during their first few months to ensure a healthy start. Whether you have a tiny Chihuahua or a big, bouncy Labrador, our veterinary team will guide you through every stage of puppyhood.
Puppy Vaccine Schedule
To protect your puppy from contagious diseases like parvovirus and distemper, we recommend this vaccine timeline:
- 6–8 weeks: First vaccinations
- 10–12 weeks: Booster
- 14–16 weeks: Final round
We also provide routine deworming treatments to help protect your puppy from common intestinal parasites and support healthy growth and development.
Our team will also check for any signs of illness, answer your questions, and help you set the foundation for a happy, healthy future.
Supporting Your Puppy’s Early Health Needs
Every puppy is unique, and our care approach is tailored to their breed, age, and lifestyle. During wellness visits, we’ll monitor your puppy’s overall health and development while offering personalized recommendations for:
- Vaccination planning based on risk factors and lifestyle
- Parasite prevention (e.g., deworming, flea/tick, heartworm)
- Nutrition and feeding guidance appropriate for their age and breed
- Behavior and training tips, including socialization and teething support
- Microchipping and spay/neuter timing, when appropriate
- Ongoing health monitoring, including weight and body condition tracking
We also include Healthy Habit Packs (FTH) with every first puppy visit to help new pet owners get started with essential care products and recommendations.
We encourage you to bring questions to every visit — we’re here to help you feel confident through every stage of puppyhood.
Kitten Care
Kittens are playful, curious, and incredibly delicate in their early months. They need special care and attention to grow into strong, healthy adult cats.
We provide gentle, stress-free care for kittens, including wellness exams, parasite control, behavior advice, and vaccinations.
Important tip: If you have other cats at home, we recommend keeping your new kitten in a separate room and testing for FeLV/FIV before introducing them.
Kitten Vaccine Schedule
Most kittens follow a three-visit vaccination series:
- 6–8 weeks: Initial vaccines
- 10–12 weeks: Booster
- 14–16 weeks: Final round
These appointments help protect your kitten from common but serious feline diseases. We also provide routine deworming treatments to help keep your kitten healthy and protected from intestinal parasites.
Gentle, Individualized Kitten Care
Your kitten’s early vet visits are important opportunities to monitor growth and build lifelong health habits. During wellness visits, we may recommend:
- Vaccinations scheduled according to their age and exposure risks
- Parasite screening and deworming if indicated
- Feline leukemia/FIV testing for new or multi-cat households
- Nutritional advice, litter box tips, and safe enrichment ideas
- Spay/neuter guidance and kitten-safe care recommendations
Healthy Habit Packs (FTH) are also included with every first kitten visit to help support your kitten’s health from the very beginning.
We also offer declaw procedures and tail docking services for puppies and kittens when appropriate. Tail docking is typically performed between 3–5 days of age. Our team can discuss whether these procedures are suitable for your pet and answer any questions you may have.
Spaying & Neutering Services
Spaying and neutering are important procedures that protect your pet’s health and help control the pet population.
Benefits of Spaying or Neutering:
- Improves long-term health: Reduces risk of certain cancers and infections
- Promotes better behavior: Less marking, roaming, and aggression
- Prevents unwanted litters: Helps reduce overcrowding in shelters
- Spaying (Females): Removes ovaries and uterus, preventing heat cycles and uterine disease.
- Neutering (Males): Removes testes, reducing risk of testicular cancer and certain behavioral issues.
We typically recommend these procedures around 6 months of age, before pets reach sexual maturity.
Pet Microchipping
One of the most important steps you can take to keep your pet safe is microchipping. A microchip provides permanent identification that greatly increases the chance of reuniting with your pet if they ever get lost.
How It Works:
- A tiny chip (about the size of a grain of rice) is implanted just under your pet’s skin
- The chip holds a unique ID number linked to your contact info
- If your pet is found, shelters and vets can scan the chip and contact you
Why Microchipping Matters:
- Can’t be lost or removed like a collar tag
- Microchipped dogs are 2.5x more likely to be reunited with owners
- Cats with microchips are 20x more likely to find their way home
After the chip is placed, we’ll help you register it and update your info as needed.
Don’t forget: If you move or change phone numbers, update your pet’s chip right away!
