We recommend yearly physical examinations and vaccines to all of our adult patients, regardless of whether they are strictly indoor-dwellers or go outside. Contrary to popular belief, an indoor life does not mean your cat is immune to illness, infectious disease and parasites.
A yearly examination helps us provide wellness care for your kitty. A full physical exam can detect problems before they become clinically apparent. We also offer wellness screens including, but not limited to: blood, urine and fecal testing. Being proactive in our care for your beloved friend, helps us to identify and treat early disease processes before they result in illness. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can mean a longer, healthier life for your cat.
We follow the AAFP guidelines concerning vaccination and deworming schedules. These guidelines are constantly under review as more and more is understood about how vaccines work with the feline immune system. As a result, we use only non-adjuvanted vaccines -- which remain effective for one year. We can tailor a vaccine program specific to the needs and lifestyle of your cat to help maintain wonderful good health through adulthood.
