A Trusted Veterinarian in Cranston for Your Puppy’s First Check-Up

One of the most important first steps you’ll take as a new pet owner is establishing a relationship with a great local veterinarian. This first wellness check is crucial for peace of mind and setting a foundation for a long, healthy life. For this, many residents of Cranston trust Oaklawn Animal Hospital. Located right in the heart of the city, their team is consistently praised in reviews for their compassionate approach and gentle handling of new puppies.

Getting Ready for Your Puppy in Cranston

Bringing a new puppy home is an exciting time! A little preparation can make the transition smooth for everyone. Here’s a quick checklist to help you get ready in Cranston:

Make it Official

The City of Cranston requires all dogs to be licensed. You can handle this through the Cranston Animal Shelter or the City Clerk’s office. You’ll typically need to provide proof of your puppy’s rabies vaccination (which we provide) to get their official city tag. This is a crucial step for their safety.

Stock Up on Supplies

 Before your puppy arrives, you’ll need the essentials: a leash, collar with an ID tag, a cozy bed, food and water bowls, and some starter food. For a great local shopping experience, consider stopping by Rumford Pet Express right here in Cranston. Their knowledgeable staff can help you pick out the right size gear and recommend high-quality puppy food.

Puppy-Proof Your Home

Get down on your hands and knees to see the world from a puppy’s perspective. Secure electrical cords, move toxic plants, and make sure any small, swallowable items are out of reach.
