It is very exciting to have a new member in the family. We have some tips for you to ease your new friend into your life!
– Regular parasitic treatments are important, preventions protect against fleas, ticks, heartworm, gastrointestinal worms etc. Puppies/kitten are prone to parasitic problems
– Routine vaccinations are also very important. The type and frequency depend on lifestyle so chat to us!
Vaccination schedule:
1st vaccination: 6-8 weeks old
2nd vaccination : 10-12 weeks old
3rd vaccination: 14-16 weeks old
– For puppies, it is a legal requirement in Hong Kong for them to receive a microchip and Rabies injection by 5 months of age.
– Get puppy/ kitten specific diets: they are high energy requirement so must be catered appropriately. Over or under body condition can lead to development issues.
– Training! Spoiling your pets is perfectly natural but must be done with moderation. Get them used to commands, getting their feet/ears/mouth touched so us vets will have an easier time checking them in a clinic setting!
– Lots of socialization and play! Not only will this encourage bonding, socialization and play will eliminate undesirable destructive behaviour.
– Get your furkids checked! Sometimes very subtle skin diseases or joint problems could only be detected after assessed by a veterinarian.
– Puppy/kitten proof the environment! You must baby-proof the environment. Insulate wire, hide human medication/food, screen your windows!
ps. we see lots of dumped animals so if you can, adopt don’t shop!
