New Puppy & Kitten Wellness Visits
Guiding you through your puppy or kitten’s first months with preventive care, education, and personalized support.
Giving Your New Companion the Best Start
Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your family is an exciting time, and those first veterinary visits play an important role in setting the foundation for lifelong health. At North Iredell Animal Hospital, our new puppy and kitten wellness visits focus on preventive care, education, and building a strong start for your pet’s future.
During your pet’s first visit, we perform a thorough physical examination and discuss key topics such as vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, nutrition, growth and development, behavior, and overall wellness. Our goal is to provide guidance and support during these early months, helping you feel confident as you care for your new companion.

Very Friendly...
Dr. Adams & Dr. Thompson are attentive, kind, and so friendly. All the staff at North Iredell are very friendly and are always excited to see our fur babies. They take great care of them and I can trust that they have their best interest in mind.

First Puppy & Kitten Exam
As part of every first puppy or kitten exam, we include:
- A fecal analysis to screen for intestinal parasites
- A complimentary dose of parasite prevention, when appropriate
These early preventive steps help protect your pet’s health and address common concerns before they become more serious.
We encourage pet owners to bring a fresh stool sample to the appointment if possible, as this allows us to complete fecal testing efficiently. If you have questions about collecting a sample, our team is happy to help.
