Kitten Wellness in Salem: Your Trusted Source for Feline Health
Congratulations on your new kitten! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for your new addition to your family.
Our kitten wellness program in Salem is designed to help get your kitten started on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your kitten’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help him or her grow into a well-mannered, healthy cat, including information and advice on nutrition, litterbox training, and behaviour.
Schedule your kitten for his or her first exam as soon as possible. Until your kitten has received a series of vaccines, he or she is susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases. We will vaccinate your new pet against rabies and panleukopenia (distemper). Depending on your cat’s risk, we may also advise vaccinating him or her against other diseases, such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV). In addition, your kitten will need to be tested and treated for parasites, which are common in young cats.
Most kittens have roundworms, which are intestinal worms that can cause coughing, weight loss, and a potbellied appearance in cats (although they may not cause any symptoms). It is important for kittens to be treated for roundworms, not only to help rid them of the infection but also to prevent you and the rest of your family from becoming infected. Roundworms are a zoonotic parasite, which means they can be transmitted from pets to people. By ensuring that your kitten is treated, you can keep your entire family safe.
A comprehensive kitten wellness exam in Salem is the first step toward ensuring your pet’s long-term health. Beyond vaccinations and parasite prevention, regular checkups help monitor growth, hydration levels, and overall development. Our veterinary team carefully examines your kitten’s coat, eyes, ears, and teeth while assessing their weight and body condition to detect any early signs of health issues.
Proper nutrition, hydration, and litter box habits are essential for maintaining your kitten’s well-being. During your visit, we’ll provide expert guidance on diet, behavior, and socialization to help your pet adjust to their new home. We also discuss the benefits of spaying and neutering, giving you the information needed to make the best choice for your kitten’s future health and behavior.
Ongoing kitten wellness care in Salem ensures your pet stays protected against preventable diseases while addressing any emerging concerns. By establishing a routine care plan early, you set the foundation for a healthier, happier life for your cat. Our dedicated team is here to support you with personalized veterinary care and expert advice. Schedule your kitten’s wellness exam today to give them the best start possible.
