University Parkway Animal Hospital in Jackson Offers Puppy and Kitten Care

Giving a loving home to a new puppy or kitten is a true joy. Keep in mind that it is very important to its health and development to have proper veterinary care. Take your new pet to University Parkway Animal Hospital, a veterinarian in Jackson, within a few days of getting it to have a thorough examination.

What Will the Puppy or Kitten's First Exam Include?

When arriving to see our veterinarian in Jackson, expect that your puppy or kitten will be weighed. Our doctor will then listen to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope. Your animal's temperature will also be taken, and the eyes, ears, nose, feet, skin, and coat will be inspected. Our veterinarian will then look at your puppy or kitten's teeth and mouth and feel the abdomen and lymph nodes. If possible, bring in a fecal sample so that the feces can be examined for worms or other problems.

At the end of the appointment, our veterinarian will administer any vaccines, if it is the right time, and discuss a proper vaccination schedule with you. Ask any questions you may have about the general puppy or kitten care, spaying or neutering, and the best ways to introduce this new addition to other pets or children in the home. Starting out on the right foot will make the process of bringing home a new puppy or kitten easier.
