They include essential components such as vaccines to protect against common preventable infectious diseases, thorough physical exams, and proactive wellness lab profiles to screen for emerging health issues.

Remember, proactive care is better than reactive care and can significantly increase the quality and longevity of your cat’s life. Cats age more rapidly than we do, making preventive care visits a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle. By detecting conditions early on, we can manage or cure them before they become painful or more costly.
At Animal Care Clinic, we live by the motto: “Adding years to their life… and LIFE to their years!” Let’s work together to help your cat enjoy a long, healthy, and comfortable life.
The American Association of Feline Practitioners recommends that preventive care examinations for all cats should occur a minimum of once yearly, and more frequently for senior cats and those with chronic conditions. Regular physical examinations allow us to assess your cat’s nutrition, lifestyle, environmental enrichment, and behavior, helping us prevent problems and address emerging issues proactively.
