Bringing a new puppy or kitten into your home is an unforgettable milestone. However, the first year of life also represents the period of highest vulnerability to infectious illnesses and rapid physical changes.
Key Milestones in the First 12 Months
- 6-8 Weeks: Initial wellness exam, core vaccine booster series, and gentle deworming.
- 12-16 Weeks: Rabies vaccination, final puppy/kitten boosters, and microchip placement.
- 6 Months: Consultation for spaying or neutering, and evaluating adult tooth emergence.
