Cat Wellness Exams

Ensuring a Healthy Life for Your Feline Friend

At Walkervet, we know that your cat is more than just a pet—they’re a beloved member of your family. Regular wellness exams are essential for maintaining your cat’s health and ensuring they live a long, happy life. These exams help us catch any potential health issues early and keep your feline companion feeling their best.

Why Are Cat Wellness Exams Important?

Cats are masters of hiding illness, which means they may not show obvious signs when something is wrong. Wellness exams allow veterinarians to look for early warning signs of diseases and health problems that may not be noticeable at home. Regular check-ups provide:

Early Detection of Health Issues: Identifying conditions early can help in providing timely treatment, making a significant difference in your cat’s health.

Preventative Care: Vaccinations, dental care, and parasite control keep your cat safe from preventable diseases.

Tailored Health Plans: Each cat is unique, and a wellness exam allows us to create a personalized health plan to address your cat’s specific needs at every stage of life.

What Happens During a Cat Wellness Exam?

A typical cat wellness exam includes:

Comprehensive Physical Examination: Our veterinarian will check your cat from nose to tail, assessing their weight, body condition, coat, and skin, and checking their heart, lungs, and overall muscle tone.

Dental Health Check: Dental disease is common in cats and can lead to discomfort or more serious health issues. We’ll inspect your cat’s teeth and gums and may recommend a dental cleaning if needed.

Vaccinations and Parasite Prevention: Depending on your cat’s lifestyle, age, and health status, we’ll ensure they’re up-to-date on vaccinations and protected from parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms.

Blood Tests and Lab Work: Regular blood work and lab tests allow us to screen for underlying conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, and thyroid problems, especially as cats age.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Counseling: We’ll discuss your cat’s diet, activity level, and any changes you’ve noticed in their behavior to help keep them as healthy and comfortable as possible.

How Often Should My Cat Have a Wellness Exam?

For younger, healthy cats, we generally recommend annual wellness exams. For senior cats or those with known health issues, twice-yearly exams may be beneficial to stay on top of any age-related changes.
