Continue reading to understand what to expect during these visits!
When bringing your feline companion in for a routine exam, expect a comprehensive assessment of his or her overall health. Our veterinarians will conduct a thorough physical examination, checking its weight, temperature, heart rate, and respiratory health. This examination helps to identify any signs of illness early on and ensures prompt treatment if necessary.
Preventative medicine plays an important part in your cat or kitten’s health. During the exam, vaccinations will be administered as per your pet's vaccination schedule to protect against common diseases such as rabies and feline distemper. Additionally, our vets may recommend preventative treatments for parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms to safeguard your cat's well-being.
Dental health is another vital component of your pet’s wellness. We will examine your cat or kitten’s teeth and gums for signs of dental disease such as plaque buildup or gingivitis. Our vets may also recommend professional dental cleaning if necessary and provide guidance on at-home dental care to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy. If you’re looking for suggestions on dental chews or toys that may be beneficial for your pet, you can always search for a veterinarian near you.
A thorough review of your feline’s health history is essential during every exam. This includes discussing any changes in behavior, appetite, or litter box habits that you may have noticed. Your input helps our veterinarians gain insights into your pet’s health and assists with early detection of potential health issues.
