Puppy and Kitten

Puppy Care

Your new puppy or kitten is just a little baby, and just like babies, there are lots of things we must do to ensure that they stay as healthy as possible. At Summerhill Vets, we will answer all your questions as well as advise you on all your new pets requirements. 

Healthcare Considerations

  • - Microchipping – it is now a legal requirement to have your puppy microchipped, it will also help in the unfortunate case that your pet goes missing.
  • - Vaccinations – It is very important that your new puppy is protected against disease by ensuring they are vaccinated fully.
  • - Anti-parasitic treatment – we can help you ensure that your puppy is protected from both internal and external parasites.
  • - Nutrition – your puppy will grow up very fast, to ensure they have a balanced diet it’s important to feed a good quality food.
  • - Neutering – once your puppy is big enough, we will recommend neutering, this has many benefits and can prevent some cancers, will prevent heat cycles, prevent unwanted puppies, prevent roaming and much more. Our veterinary team will advise you when is a good time to neuter your pet.
  • - Socialisation – To prevent behavioural issues later in life, it’s very important that your puppy is well socialised in the first 3 months of life. A well socialised puppy will be calmer, and happier and are less likely to exhibit aggressive behaviour.

Our Pet Vet team will be able to provide you will all the information you need to help your new puppy grow and develop into a happy healthy pet. 

Kitten Care

Getting a new kitten is a very exciting time. Like babies, your new puppy has many needs. Your kitten will need to be litter trained, have balanced nutrition, and be kept indoors for the beginning of its life. 

  • - Vaccination – it is very important that your new kitten is fully vaccinated to protect them from diseases.
  • - Anti-parasitic – we can provide you treatment to prevent internal and external parasites on your new kitten.
  • - Microchipping – although not a legal requirement we do recommend that you get your new kitten microchipped, this will help in the return of your kitten should they roam and become lost.
  • - Neutering – Our vet team will advise you when to neuter your kitten. Neutering your kitten will prevent roaming behaviour, marking, unwanted kittens and as well as other health benefits.
  • - Indoors – for your kitten’s safety we recommend keeping it indoors until it is six months old if you can and is neutered.

Our Pet Vet team can give you all the information you need to ensure your kitten grows happily and healthy.
