Although every puppy or kitten will need routine veterinary care during their first year, each of them will require an individualized plan. During their first year, your kitten or puppy will require regular visits with their veterinarian. In addition to examining your new pet and providing them with vaccines and diagnostics, your veterinarian will discuss other services that could help them live a longer, healthier life, such as spaying and neutering.
