Kittens should visit the veterinarian for check-ups and vaccinations several times during their first year of life. Initial visits should occur at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by visits every 3-4 weeks until they are about 16 weeks old. These visits ensure they receive essential vaccinations against diseases such as feline distemper, calicivirus, and rabies. Additionally, the vet will check for parasites, monitor growth and development, and provide guidance on nutrition and care. Regular veterinary visits are crucial for establishing a strong foundation for a kitten’s long-term health and well-being.
