Puppy and Kitten Wellness at Aurora Hills Animal Hospital

Skittles - Aurora Hills Animal Hospital Aurora Hills Animal Hospital-Veterinary

Aurora Hills Animal Hospital would like to congratulate you on your new puppy or kitten! We are glad that you have chosen us to be a partner in your new little friend's health care. Together, we can start your little one down the path of a long and healthy life.

Puppies and kittens grow and change almost daily. They have specific health, nutrition, and behavior recommendations. Your puppy or kitten can expect to visit the hospital three to four times by his or her fourth month so that we can administer appropriate vaccines, discuss proper nutrition, assess and monitor any congenital defects, and set the foundation for good behavior. Below is an example wellness schedule:
