Why Veterinary Oversight Matters in Breeding
Unsupervised or unplanned breeding can result in serious health risks for both the parent and the offspring. Pets may carry genetic conditions, infections, or structural issues that make pregnancy or delivery unsafe. Veterinary screening helps minimize complications, supports reproductive health, and promotes healthy, well-adjusted puppies or kittens.
By involving a veterinarian early, you:
- Reduce the risk of pregnancy complications
- Ensure proper nutrition and prenatal care
- Monitor fetal development and maternal health
- Get help preparing for labor and delivery
- Receive guidance on newborn care and weaning
We’re here to answer questions, provide expert care, and be your trusted partner throughout the breeding process.
Caring for Pregnant Pets
Pregnancy brings significant physical changes—and unique needs—for your pet. At 4 Paws, we provide:
- Ongoing monitoring to track fetal health
- Adjusted diet recommendations for optimal nutrition
- Weight checks and physical assessments
- Support for whelping or queening preparation
- Emergency support in case of difficult labor or dystocia
We are also available to discuss elective or medically necessary C-sections and can schedule them when appropriate for your pet’s safety.
Newborn and Litter Support
Once the litter arrives, we’re here to help monitor neonatal health, assess development, and provide wellness care for the newborns. Services may include:
- Physical exams for each pup or kitten
- Umbilical care and early disease prevention
- Deworming and vaccination schedules
- Weight tracking and feeding support
We also provide guidance on socialization and early behavior, setting your litter up for healthy, happy futures.
