Preventative care is an
important part of keeping your cat happy and healthy.  Routine veterinary visits help to assess your cat’s
nutrition and behavior, as well as prevent diseases and parasites.  Since cats age faster than we do, preventative
exams are an essential part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Here are a few things we look for during each
exam.

• Muscle tone and weight
• Coat, fur and skin
• Ears and eyes
• Mouth, gums and teeth
• Joints and spine
• Abdomen and body

We recommend that pet
owners bring their cats in for a check-up once a year.  Senior cats may need to schedule visits more frequently.  Contact our office for more information on how to provide your pet with the best possible care, or

of Feline Practitioners to learn more about why annual exams are so important
for cats.
