Health Checkups Get Pets Off to a Solid Start

During your pet’s first visit, our Eugene, OR veterinarian will feel and inspect the physical health of the animal. This entails looking at the eyes, ears, nose, coat, stance, and feeling the entire body, including the abdomen, for abnormalities. A fecal and blood sample is taken to test for issues that cannot be seen from the outside.

Vital Vaccinations for Puppy Care and Kitten Care

Core vaccinations are essential in the realm of kitten care and puppy care. By law, all pets must have a current rabies shot, but there are a few others which are considered ‘core’ vaccines that help prevent the most common diseases. There are also non-core vaccines that you might want your pet to have depending on your lifestyle. Our veterinarian can help you choose what your new pet really needs.

Spaying and Neutering

Sterilizing your pet helps prevent overpopulation of the species, and will definitely prevent unwanted pregnancies. Pets can have this in-office surgery any time after 8 months of age. It also lessens the incidents of certain cancers of the reproductive organs, and it might even improve their temperament and certain undesirable behaviors.

Protect New Pets from Parasites, Fleas, and Ticks

These nasty invaders love pets just as much as you do. Some internal parasites, like heartworm, can be deadly. Flea infestations can cause a variety of ailments in animals, and a single tick can result in Lyme disease. We can help you choose the right pet pest preventives to meet the needs and age of your new kitten or puppy.

Pet Microchipping

Microchipping your feisty new dog or cat is wise, as they are fast and often eager to run and explore outdoors. If your pets get lost, you can increase the odds of finding them by having them microchipped. Be sure to talk to our vet about this affordable device.
