August 22nd is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day. In honor of this day, we would like to discuss the importance of regular veterinary check-ups for your cat.

Regular trips to the vet involve so much more than just updating your cat’s vaccines. The most important part of the visit is the physical exam.

Kittens and senior cats need to go more frequently than young adult cats. [continue reading…]
