Puppy And Kitten Wellness In Durham And Chapel Hill

Puppies and kittens need a lot of care to stay healthy; especially in the first year of life. As a new pet owner, it's your responsibility to ensure that your pet gets the vet care he or she needs in order to stay well and avoid illnesses. At New Hope Animal Hospital, we help the puppies and kittens of Durham and Chapel Hill stay healthy and happy throughout youth and into adulthood.

Preventative Care is Key

Preventative care is essential for puppies and kittens. At your pet's veterinarian in Durham and Chapel Hill, we offer the following preventative services to help pets in our area:

• Vaccinations. Vaccinations help pets fight off illnesses and common diseases. In your pet's first year of life, he or she will need many vaccinations.
• Wellness exams. During your pet's wellness exams, we'll check for parasites, listen to your pet's breathing, answer questions you may have about your pet and much more.
• Spaying and neutering. We spay and neuter pets to help prevent unwanted pet pregnancies and also to help reduce risk for diseases of the reproductive system.
• Dental care. We can examine your kitten or puppy's teeth, and clean the enamel if necessary.

Exercise and Eating Right Helps Ensure Good Health

Taking your pet to the vet isn't the only way to help keep him or her healthy. You'll also need to feed your pet right and ensure that your pet gets adequate exercise. Start off by feeding your pet a nutritious diet. If you're not sure what type of food is best for puppy or kitten, talk to the veterinarian. To ensure that your pet gets enough exercise, take your pet for walks or play with your pet multiple times per day.
