Adult Cat Care

We encourage a positive preventive and proactive approach to health care. Early identification of health problems almost always results in better outcomes. We firmly believe that you must define the problem before you can treat it effectively.

Your Cat’s Yearly Exam

Your cat’s annual trip to the vet isn’t just about vaccines. In fact, we no longer vaccinate every cat every year. The annual exam is a visit to the internist, dentist, dermatologist, cardiologist, ophthalmologist, and allergist rolled into one. The doctor will examine your cat from the tip of his or her nose to the end of the tail. We will educate you about care including behavior, grooming and nutrition. We encourage you to come in with a list of questions, because we want to answer all of your concerns.

We recommend annual physical examination for healthy cats between the ages of one and nine years. During this exam we will perform a full physical and discuss behavior, grooming, and nutrition. We will administer any needed vaccines based on lifestyle and risk factors. We will de-worm any cats that go outdoors, have exposure to fleas, or eat raw meat. We will assess dental health and make recommendations for care.

The Cat Care Clinic will customize an examination and recheck schedule for adult cats with chronic diseases that are on medication and/or need monitoring.
