Kitten Wellness in Newport, OR
At Grove Veterinary Clinic in Newport, OR, we understand that your kitten’s health and happiness are vital during their early months. Our kitten wellness services ensure your new feline family member receives the care they need to grow into a healthy, thriving adult.
Vaccinations for Kittens
We create individualized vaccination schedules tailored to your kitten’s specific needs. Through thorough discussions and physical exams, we determine which vaccines are essential to protect your pet. Visit our Vaccine Recommendations for Kittens and Adult Cats section to learn more about the feline vaccinations we offer.
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams help monitor your kitten’s development. During these exams, our veterinarians will:
- Listen to heart and breath sounds.
- Assess the abdomen for abnormalities.
- Examine the coat, skin, eyes, ears, and mouth for any concerns.
Parasite Screening
Parasite prevention is critical for your kitten’s health. We offer comprehensive screening for:
- External parasites: fleas, ringworm, and ear mites.
- Internal parasites: roundworms, hookworms, coccidia, and giardia.
Please bring a stool sample to each wellness appointment to help us identify and treat internal parasites effectively.
Microchip Placement
Protect your kitten from becoming lost with permanent identification. We provide microchip placement through Datamar’s petlink.net system. A tiny chip, no larger than a grain of rice, is inserted beneath the skin and registered with your contact information. Microchips can be scanned by shelters and veterinarians, ensuring your pet can be returned to you if found.
Behavior Counseling
Understanding your kitten’s behavior is essential for fostering a positive relationship. Our team offers guidance on training and socialization techniques to address common challenges such as litter box training and introducing your kitten to new environments.
Spay and Neuter Services
We recommend spaying or neutering kittens at six months of age unless they are intended for breeding. These procedures help prevent unwanted litter and reduce the risk of certain health and behavioral issues.
