Countryside Animal Clinic - Wellness Program for Kittens
 
The first year of a kitten’s life is filled with lots of activities – many of which involve his veterinarian. Because a good wellness program incorporates so many facets of healthcare, Countryside Animal Clinic has designed a brief timeline for your kitten’s care in this critical first year. The recommendations of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Companion Animal Parasite Council, and the Center for Disease control in Atlanta have been tailored to fit our area and our average patient. Your kitten’s specific program many vary slightly based on our veterinarian’s assessment of his individual needs.
