Puppy & Kitten FAQs

When should my puppy or kitten have their first visit?

Ideally around 8 weeks of age, or as soon as you welcome them home. This allows us to review previous breeder or shelter records and ensure vaccine schedules remain on track.

Can my puppy socialize before all vaccines are finished?

Socialization is critical between 8 and 16 weeks, but should take place in controlled environments with fully vaccinated family pets, avoiding public dog parks until the final booster round is complete.
