Kitten vet care in Los Angeles

Your Pet’s First Appointment

It's ideal for puppies to attend their first veterinary appointment when they are six weeks of age and kittens when they are approximately eight weeks.

At your initial visit, your furry friend will receive a full physical examination to assess their overall health, check for signs of any congenital defects, and look for external parasites.

More About Physical Exams

Your vet will also administer deworming medications for roundworms and hookworms and the first round of kitten or puppy vaccinations.

More About Vaccines & Prevention

Finally, your vet will perform a blood test on your kitten to check for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus.

Follow-up Appointments

Puppies and kittens should see the vet 3 to 4 times between the ages of 6 and 16 weeks. These appointments give your veterinarian the opportunity to examine your pet's overall health and to administer all vaccinations on schedule.
