As cats move into different phases of life, they experience changes that are very similar to aging humans. Diseases and conditions that are commonly known to affect older people also affect our feline companions: kidney, heart and liver disease, tumors, cancer, diabetes, depression, glaucoma, hyper/hypo tension, arthritis, neuroses and loss of sensory perception.Wellness testing and preventative health care will allow us to establish baseline values and identify existing health problems that can go unnoticed in their early stages.
By answering the following questions about your feline family member and allowing us to do annual wellness blood/urine screening and other diagnostics, you can assist us in detecting the onset of diseases and conditions early.
In light of recent clinical evidence, The Center for Disease Control, Companion Animal Parasite Council, and American Association of Feline Practicioners recommend every cat should be protected with year-round, broad spectrum parasite prevention beyond just flea control. Cats are exposed to a number of potentially dangerous parasites that can be transmitted to people.
