At VCA Peone Pines Animal Hospital, we are committed to giving your new puppy or kitten the healthiest start in life. Conveniently located just outside of Spokane, WA, we proudly serve pet owners from Mead, Chattaroy, Colbert, Deer Park, and Elk. Our CareClub® wellness plans offer a proactive approach to preventive care, ensuring your pet receives essential medical attention, early socialization, and wellness testing for their crucial first year.
Welcoming a new puppy or kitten is an exciting journey, but it can also come with challenges. From nutrition and socialization to parasite prevention and genetic concerns, there’s a lot to learn. Young pets grow rapidly, and regular veterinary checkups help us detect physical abnormalities, illness, and behavioral concerns early—before they become more serious.
At VCA Peone Pines, every kitten and puppy vaccine appointment is scheduled with a doctor. This hands-on approach allows us to monitor their development closely and ensures they receive expert care every step of the way. Early veterinary visits also create positive experiences, helping reduce stress during future appointments when they may not feel their best. CareClub® makes these essential checkups affordable, covering routine exams, vaccinations, and preventive screenings.
The ideal timing for spaying or neutering depends on your pet’s breed, size, and overall health. Recent studies suggest that large and giant breed dogs benefit from waiting longer (up to 2 years old) before surgery to allow their bones and joints to develop fully. Cats and smaller breeds, on the other hand, can often be safely spayed or neutered earlier.
At VCA Peone Pines, we take an individualized approach, discussing your pet’s unique needs and determining the best timing for their long-term health. Our team stays current on the latest veterinary research to ensure your pet receives the best possible care.
While spay and neuter procedures are not included in CareClub®, they can be added to your pet’s wellness plan for lifelong benefits, including reducing unwanted litters and preventing certain health conditions.
We are located in Mead, WA, and many of our clients travel from Spokane, Chattaroy, Colbert, Deer Park, and Elk for our Fear Free-certified, high-quality veterinary care.
