PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE
A yearly examination and annual boosters improve your cat's overall health and promote longevity. Early detection of disease usually results in more successful treatment and is less costly for the owner. Cats tend to hide early disease symptoms, so by the time the owner notices something is wrong it could be very ill.
Even indoor cats need to be protected against diseases such as Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calici Virus, Chlamydia, and Distemper for which effective vaccines are available. Most diseases can be transmitted indirectly from owners' clothing, shoes and other sources. At the time of your first visit, we will discuss your cat's possible need for feline leukemia testing and vaccination. Yearly vaccination for rabies is required by law. The importance of annual boosters cannot be overstated. The cat's immune system needs to be stimulated to produce antibodies so it can resist infection.
DENTAL CARE
A yearly cleaning prevents disease and discomfort. Unhealthy teeth and gums provide a place for bacteria to enter the bloodstream that can cause heart, liver, or kidney problems.
