This is where your cat’s best life begins! Comprehensive preventative cat care is essential to ensuring our pets are happy and healthy today and also helps provide them with as many good years with you as possible. Laguna Creek Veterinary Hospital recommends annual wellness exams for all adult pets!
Vaccinations: Keeping your feline friend up to date on immunizations and booster shots is a highly effective way to prevent many common diseases and infections like distemper and rabies. Beyond those core vaccines, your cat’s age, lifestyle, and likely exposure to certain diseases will be evaluated before we recommend additional inoculations.
Dental Care: Imagine what your teeth would be like if you never cleaned them. Well, the same thing is happening to your cat’s teeth without good oral care. We recommend annual dental cleanings and can show you tips for brushing your pet’s teeth. This can reduce the need for expensive extractions and more serious dental work down the line.
Parasite Control: Fleas, ticks, worms – preventing them in the first place is much easier and ultimately less expensive than getting rid of them after they’ve infested your pet. We recommend monitoring your pet and having them screened for internal parasites regularly. We also offer a variety of alternatives for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
Proper Nutrition: There’s so much confusion about what to feed pets. Grain-free kibble? Home-cooked meals? Raw food diet? Proper nutrition is so important to your pet’s good health, and we can help you figure out what is best for your pet and your lifestyle.
Behavioral Evaluation: Changes in mood or behavior can often be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Cats in particular are very adept at hiding signs of illness! Swiftly addressing these shifts can help to identify and treat the root cause.
Skin and Coat Care: Grooming and washing are fundamental aspects of proper pet hygiene. Proper skin and hair care can prevent things like mange, matting, bacterial infections, and more.
Exercise: Regular workouts support musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health in cats of all ages, as well as improve their overall mental well-being.
Senior Animals: At Laguna Creek Veterinary Hospital, we love senior pets! We also know that preventative cat care is even more significant for them. Cats age much more rapidly than humans, so diseases and illnesses progress faster as well. We recommend twice-yearly exams and screenings for seniors to help prolong and improve the quality of their lives.
We know that every furry friend is different! Our veterinarians tailor a plan to best fit your pet, your family, and your lifestyle. Call us today at 916-684-7300 to schedule your cat’s wellness exam!
