ACUPUNCTURE

You should supervise your puppy or kitten at all times to ensure they dont eat anything they shouldnt, and to make sure they dont hurt themselves. If you are supervising them, they can be allowed to explore their new home!

As a general rule, puppies/kittens should be neutered at around 6 months old. You can give us a call to learn precisely when your pet should be desexed. There are many benefits, including reduced incidence of behaviour problems, reduced prostate problems, reduced incidence of mammary cancer and eliminating the risk of developing fatal uterus infections

Your puppy/kitten can come into contact with vaccinated animals 2 weeks after their second vaccine, and with unvaccinated animals 2 weeks after their final vaccination.

You can help to train your pet to become relaxed when they are on their own. You can book an appointment with our Doctor, Dr Isabella, who has a special interest in behaviour. She can give you detailed advice on how to help your puppy/kitten sleep properly.

Puppy and kittens should be on a puppy or kitten diet until they are 6 months old. Each brand of food has different recommendations, and you should follow the instructions on the packet. If your pet is under or over weight, we might recommend you feed a little more or a little less as appropriate

You can bathe a puppy for kitten carefully, using pet friendly shampoo. You should ensure no water or soap gets in their eyes or in their mouth, and dry them with a towel straight away so that they dont get cold.

You can bring your pet in for a vaccination at any time, and we can give advice on which vaccinations they need and when they will need boosters

We recommend bringing in your puppy or kitten in for a check as soon as you get them. We will give you advice on how to take care of them, what to feed them, which preventative medications they need, training tips and can discuss desexing and tooth brushing
