Gentle, Personalized Care for Your New Pet

Your puppy or kitten’s first few veterinary visits lay the foundation for lifelong health and trust. At Five Mile Pet Clinic, we understand how important those early months are. That’s why our puppy and kitten exams are designed to provide not only a thorough physical evaluation, but also a calm, welcoming experience for your new family member.

During your pet’s visit, our veterinarians assess overall health, identify any early concerns, and discuss a customized wellness plan tailored to their age, breed, and lifestyle. We also provide pet parents with the education and support they need to feel confident about raising a healthy, happy companion.

What to Expect at Your Puppy or Kitten’s First Vet Visit

Full Nose-to-Tail Physical Exam

Our veterinarians will check your pet’s eyes, ears, skin, coat, teeth, heart, lungs, joints, and overall development. These exams help detect early signs of illness or congenital conditions while your pet is still growing.

Vaccination Schedule

We provide a personalized vaccine plan based on your pet’s age, health, and potential exposures. Core vaccines are typically given over a series of visits, with boosters scheduled at appropriate intervals.

Parasite Prevention & Deworming

We recommend starting your pet on monthly parasite preventatives to protect against fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease. Deworming treatments are also provided to eliminate common intestinal parasites such as roundworms and hookworms.

Nutrition & Growth Guidance

Our team will help you choose the right food and feeding plan based on your puppy or kitten’s breed, size, and age. We also offer advice on safe treats, supplements, and how to manage weight as they grow.

Behavior & Home Care Advice

We’ll walk you through early training tips, socialization guidance, and ways to set your new pet up for success whether it’s litter box training for kittens or crate training for puppies.

Ongoing Care and Wellness Planning

As your pet grows, we’ll be there to monitor their development and update their care plan as needed. Regular checkups throughout the first year are essential to track growth, provide booster shots, and reinforce good habits. Our Spokane team is here to answer questions at every step and help your pet thrive.

Puppy and kitten exams are also the perfect time to discuss long-term wellness topics such as spaying and neutering, microchipping, and dental care. We take a proactive, collaborative approach that keeps your pet on the path to lifelong health.
