Feline Wellness Care
Our feline friends have distinctive needs when it comes to wellness and preventive care that begin as a kitten and continue through to their senior years. Cat’s needs are just as important as their canine counterparts. When a cat is in pain, they tend to instinctually hide away in hard-to-find locations. If you have a hard time finding your furry family member, it might be a good time for a checkup!
Kitten Care
For the first year of a cat’s life, we recommend:
- Vaccines and boosters depending on life-style
- Preventive care checkup
- Spaying or neutering
- Intestinal Parasite Testing, Parasite Prevention and Viral Testing
Adult Cat Care
For continuing wellness into a cat’s adulthood, we recommend:
- Vaccines
- Nutritional assessment
- Parasite prevention
- Behavior consultations
- Dental care
- Intestinal Parasite testing
Senior Cat Care
Senior cats should get all the adult cat care as well as routine labs to let us know when we might need to intervene on certain senior disease issues. We recommend these labs for senior cats:
- Blood cell count
- Chemistry
- Urinalysis
- Thyroid testing
We also recommend, depending on age, blood pressure assessment every 6–12 months. If we can detect problems before your pet gets sick enough to show symptoms, we can give a longer and better quality of life to them.
Furthermore, we check on both arthritis and mobility management and assess your senior pet’s nutrition regimen, as their dietary needs change when they grow older.
