Pet Healthcare

Vaccination schedules, preventive care, and when to see a vet.

Vaccination Schedule

Core vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus. Puppies and kittens need a series of shots starting at 6-8 weeks, with boosters throughout their first year.

Parasite Prevention

Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is essential. Your vet can recommend the best products for your pet's needs and your local area.

Dental Care

Dental disease affects most pets by age 3. Regular brushing, dental treats, and professional cleanings prevent painful infections and tooth loss.

Spay/Neuter

Spaying or neutering prevents unwanted litters, reduces certain cancers, and can improve behavior. Most pets can be altered at 4-6 months of age.

Regular Check-ups

Annual veterinary exams catch health issues early. Senior pets (7+ years) benefit from twice-yearly visits.

Signs of Illness

Watch for changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or behavior. Vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, and limping all warrant a vet visit.
