Adult Cat Care – (under the age of 9)
We recommend an 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.
We will customize an examination and recheck schedule for adult cats with chronic diseases that are on medication and/or need monitoring.

Recommended Senior Care
Semi-annual complete physical examination
We hope to detect changes on physical examination and body weight measurement by monitoring older patients more frequently.
Annual senior blood panel and urinalysis
Starting regular lab testing at 9 years of age establishes baseline values that we can monitor as your cat grows older. These tests help to catch geriatric diseases at earlier stages.
Blood pressure measurement
Like humans, cats can suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension can be primary or caused by hyperthyroidism, heart disease, and chronic kidney disease. All cats over the age of nine should have their blood pressure checked at least once a year. It is a simple, non-painful procedure. Early detection of hypertension can prevent serious secondary problems such as retinal detachment, retinal bleeds, and behavior changes.
Additional examinations and diagnostics may be recommended for senior cats based on our veterinarian’s assessment of patient condition and to monitor treatments for chronic diseases.
