Your New Pet: What Our Laguna Hills Veterinarian Wants You To Know

New Puppy & Kitten Advice

Are you the proud owner of a new puppy or kitten? Congratulations! It's exciting to welcome a new pet into your home. At Trinity Pet Hospital in Laguna Hills, our veterinary staff is here to help you provide your new pet with the veterinary care they need to get started right. Our caring staff will welcome you and your new pet into our comfortable office, where we hope to serve your needs for years to come.

The First Year: Your Puppy Or Kitten's Veterinary Needs

Your pet's first year in your home is a critical time to establish a long, healthy life for your puppy or kitten. After you bring your new pet into your home, it's important to schedule a wellness check. At this appointment, our veterinarian will talk with you about your pet's health care needs. You'll go over behavior, nutrition, dental care, grooming, and other pet care basics. We'll also talk about a vaccination schedule that makes sense for your pet, depending on their needs, breed, and age. We'll go over flea, tick, and heartworm prevention as well, and write you a prescription for any medications your pet may need.

If you desire, our veterinarian will talk with you about scheduling a spay or neuter procedure. Not only does spaying or neutering your pet help with the widespread problem of animal population control, but it also has health benefits for your pet and can reduce the risk of reproductive cancers. If you're interested in a spay or neuter procedure for your pet, we'll schedule an appointment for you to have the procedure done. For most cases, no overnight stay is required.
