Puppy and Kitten Care
Welcoming a new puppy or kitten into your home is exciting, but it also comes with responsibilities. At Burke Animal Clinic, we provide the care and guidance you need to give your new pet the best start in life.
Comprehensive Wellness Exams
Routine wellness exams are vital for monitoring your puppy or kitten’s growth and overall health. During these visits, our veterinarians conduct thorough physical examinations, checking for any signs of illness or developmental concerns. We also discuss diet, behavior, and environmental needs to help you provide the best possible care at home.

We’ll guide you through your pet’s vaccination schedule to ensure they stay protected and healthy as they grow.
