Question: When should my new puppy or kitten be seen?
Answer:

Puppies and kittens should be seen by their veterinarian at 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age.  The full schedule is available on the routine care link.  New animals should be isolated from other animals in the household until you and your veterinarian are sure they are free from contagious disease that could harm your other pets.
