Welcoming Your New Pet to a Healthy Start

Bringing home a new puppy or kitten is an exciting step—and the best way to set them up for a long, healthy life is with high-quality veterinary care from the start. At TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Forestbrook, the veterinarians and team provide personalized care designed specifically for puppies and kittens, helping ensure they grow up happy, healthy, and well-adjusted.

Early Wellness & Preventative Care

Puppies and kittens have unique health needs, especially in their first months of life. The hospital offers comprehensive wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and tailored health plans to support proper growth and development. These early visits also give owners a chance to ask questions about feeding, behavior, training, and socialization.

Examples of services puppies & kittens receive include:

Initial physical exam and growth assessment
Vaccination schedules to protect against common, potentially fatal diseases
Parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, heartworm, intestinal parasites)
Microchipping for permanent identification
Nutrition guidance based on age, breed, and lifestyle
Behavior & training advice to promote good habits early on

Partners in Preventative Care

Early veterinary care goes beyond just shots and checkups—these visits help build a lifelong relationship between your pet and the care team, establish a wellness baseline, and identify any conditions early before they become serious. Owners can also begin planning future care such as spay/neuter procedures, dental health, and overall wellness monitoring.

Comfort-Focused Handling

The hospital team is trained in low-stress, Fear-Free handling techniques to make puppy and kitten visits as calm and comfortable as possible, easing stress for both pets and owners.
