Puppy Care

Image

We love puppies at Westerville Veterinary Clinic Westerville, OH, and we’re passionate about giving them the essential care they need to start life on the right paw.

We encourage all new puppy owners to schedule a first visit with us. During this initial appointment, we’ll conduct a full nose-to-tail physical exam to establish a health baseline and catch any early concerns.

We’ll also create a customized vaccination schedule based on your puppy’s age, previous vaccines, and lifestyle. Common vaccinations include:

  • Distemper
  • Hepatitis
  • Parvovirus
  • Rabies
  • Bordetella
In addition, we may recommend routine tests like a heartworm screening and fecal analysis to check for parasites and better assess your puppy’s overall health.

Kitten Care

Is there anything more precious than looking into the big, beautiful eyes of a new kitten you’ve just welcomed home? Just as special is the peace of mind that comes from knowing your kitten is healthy and protected.

At Westerville Veterinary Clinic Westerville, OH, we strongly recommend early wellness exams for kittens. These visits give us the chance to perform a full physical exam, suggest a vaccination schedule, and run routine tests to ensure your kitten is growing as they should.

If you have questions about vaccinations or recommended tests, our team is always here to help. Caring for your kitten is a team effort—one we’re proud to share with you.

Spay/Neuter Procedure

Spaying and neutering your dog or cat can help reduce unwanted behaviors, lower the risk of infections and certain diseases, and contribute to a longer, healthier life. At Westerville Veterinary Clinic Westerville, OH, our experienced veterinarians perform these procedures with the highest standards of safety and comfort for your pet.

Neutering involves removing the testicles, which can reduce roaming, aggression, and the risk of testicular cancer and prostate issues. Before the procedure, we perform a physical exam and bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy and ready for surgery. Recovery is usually smooth, with minimal aftercare needed. We’ll also help determine the ideal timing based on your pet’s age and lifestyle.

Spaying involves removing the ovaries and uterus to prevent heat cycles and pregnancy. Typically recommended between 4–6 months of age, spaying also reduces the risk of uterine infections and certain cancers. Timing can vary by breed, and we’ll work with you to find the best plan. As with neutering, a pre-surgical exam and blood tests ensure your pet’s safety throughout the process.

Our team at Westerville Veterinary Clinic Westerville, OH is here to make your pet’s spay or neuter experience as safe and stress-free as possible.
