Regular veterinary care is essential to keeping your cat healthy and preventing common health problems. Cats should receive regular vaccinations to protect against diseases such as feline leukemia, rabies, and distemper. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your cat based on their age and lifestyle. In addition to vaccinations, regular check-ups with your veterinarian can help detect and prevent health problems before they become serious. Your veterinarian will perform a physical exam, run diagnostic tests, and provide recommendations for preventative care.

Some common health issues in cats include dental problems, obesity, and urinary tract infections. Be sure to monitor your cat’s weight, provide them with dental chews and toys, and encourage them to drink plenty of water to prevent these issues.
