At Plainfield Veterinary Clinic, we believe in the importance of regular cat wellness exams for cats of all ages. For kittens, these exams coincide with their vaccination schedule, offering an opportunity to monitor their development closely and ensure their health is a top priority.
Annual wellness exams are crucial for maintaining the overall health and well-being of cats. These comprehensive check-ups allow veterinarians to closely monitor your feline companion's condition, detect any potential issues, and provide preventive care measures. During these visits, your cat will undergo a thorough physical examination, weight evaluation, and necessary diagnostic testing to identify any underlying medical concerns. Additionally, annual exams ensure your cat stays up-to-date on essential vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dental care, protecting them from various diseases and health problems.
These routine check-ups allow veterinarians to offer tailored nutritional guidance and behavioral advice to address any specific concerns you may have about your cat's well-being. By prioritizing annual wellness exams, you can proactively safeguard your cat's health, catch any developing issues promptly, and ensure they receive the personalized care they need to thrive throughout their life stages.
Our experienced veterinary team will assess the following aspects of your pet’s health and recommend any necessary treatments.
To prepare your cat for a wellness exam, it's important to have your cat's carrier ready and make the experience as stress-free as possible. You can also give your cat a light meal a few hours before the appointment to avoid an empty stomach and potential nausea during the exam. Additionally, you may want to make a list of any concerns or questions you have about your cat's behavior or health to discuss with the veterinarian. Be sure to follow your vet’s instructions for any pre-appointment preparation.
