Timeline For Kitten Veterinary Care 

​Welcome to Marschall Road Animal Hospital and congratulations on your new Kitten!  Here is some information about our Free Initial Kitten Exam. During this exam, our trained and knowledgeable Doctors and Technicians will dedicate time to answer your questions and help solve your kitten mysteries. During the complimentary visit, our doctor will perform a Complete Physical Exam. We will cover the upcoming care, such as Vaccinations,  testing,  deworming,  Spaying or Neutering, and other preventive care.  We also discuss basic kitten behavior, litter box training, exercise, toys, nutrition, grooming, poisonous plants, preventive care, and more. Learn about current trends about Declawing, and the available alternatives. If you would like a complimentary demo on nail trimming, just let us know!   As an added perk, all our clients also have free access to our online Petly Patient Portal.
