New Kitten Vaccine Program
Bringing a new kitten home is fun, and it’s easy to fall in love with your adorable new family member. However, kittens require planning and care, so we’re here to help.
Wellness visit, exams, and vaccinations
The Pet Hospitals will cover your kitten’s wellness examinations by a veterinarian, core vaccines (Feline Distemper, Feline Leukemia, and Rabies), internal parasite testing, and routine deworming for just $49.70 each visit in their kitten series. Even the youngest pets can carry diseases and parasites, so we want to keep your new friend safe and healthy at an affordable price.
Low cost, high-quality neuter & spay packages
Spaying and neutering is important to your pet’s health and well-being. That’s why we have created a package that offers low cost spay and neuter services that won’t compromise the health and safety of your pet.
Annual Exams
Annual exams are important to improve the quality of life for your furry family member. They help us catch developing problems before they become larger problems and health concerns. As an added service, you may drop your pet off with us for their annual exam free of charge. We’ll take care of them until it’s convenient for you to come by and pick them up!
They know what they want. We know what they need.
Our discounted exam and vaccination packages for adult cats are reasonably priced at $152.30, but high in quality and include:
- Complete physical exam
- Dental assessment
- Internal parasite treatment
- All core vaccinations
- Free nail trim
Need a pet translator? We’re here to help.
For the safety of our patients, we require a physical exam before administering any vaccinations. We will also keep your medical records on file and online for you to view at any time so no one has to guess when it comes to giving your pet the care it needs.
Dental Care
Pets need dental care too. Unlike us, they can’t brush their teeth, so we’re here to help them prevent plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. We’ll personally assess your pet’s needs during their exam because there is no one size fits all schedule, and we don’t want to perform dental care on your pet unless it is absolutely necessary.
Happy mouth. Happy pet.
At The Pet Hospitals, dental care includes the following at a reasonable price:
- General anesthesia so we can thoroughly examine tooth and gum health
- Full-mouth radiographs (grade 2 or higher), which is now the standard of care in veterinary dentistry
- Professional cleaning to remove tartar and plaque
- Tooth polish to remove bacteria buildups
- Sealant to protect teeth from future decay
At home dental care
Don’t worry, you won’t have to start brushing your cat’s teeth every day, but we do recommend dental treats to prevent plaque buildup. It may even result in fresher breath!
Allergy Testing
If your pet is scratching, itching, or chewing on its coat or paws, licking at its paws, or experiencing hair loss or any other dermatological issues that appear to be allergies or an allergic reaction, The Pet Hospitals can help. Simply bring your pet in for testing so we can determine what the issue is and provide relief.
Cat allergy testing
At The Pet Hospitals, allergy testing includes the following at a reasonable price:
- Comprehensive physical exam
- Allergy testing with desensitization protocols
- Food allergy elimination diets
Relief is in sight.
Once the source of your pet’s allergy and dermatological issue is determined, we will create a treatment plan that is tailored to meet their needs. Please note that proper care of your pet’s skin and coat are important to dermatological health too, so regular grooming is a must.
Behavior
Behavior training can be a challenge, but it’s important to develop guidelines and boundaries with your pet in order to develop a positive, trusting, and cooperative relationship.
Your independent feline friend
Cats tend to be more independent and territorial, so the training strategies are different than those with other animals. Our veterinarians are skilled in animal behavior and communication, and can help you develop trust and boundaries with your pet. During your wellness exam, we will be happy to discuss the following and more with you:
- Excessive vocalizing
- Biting or aggressive behaviors
- Potty training
- Spraying
Is it a medical or training issue?
Some behaviors are symptoms of a developing medical problem that may require a physical exam. For example, a cat that is suddenly aggressive or soiling in the house may be suffering from a bladder or urinary tract infection, or another medical condition that they can’t vocalize. At The Pet Hospitals, we are able to assess your behavioral concerns and get the source of the problem.
Why Is Preventive Health Care for Cats Important?
Preventive care for cats can help reduce the risk of several diseases and improve your cat’s general well-being so they can live a long, healthy life. Preventive care may include vaccines, parasite prevention, dental care, proper nutrition, and regular exams. Occasional blood and urine analysis can also help prevent medical issues in cats. Our services include the veterinary care your cat needs to live a long, healthy life with a lower risk of parasites and diseases.
What Is Considered a Vet Emergency for Cats?
It can be hard for pet owners to decide when to take their cat to the vet, but there are some general rules. Here’s when you know you’re dealing with a vet emergency:
- Any eye injury
- A wound that penetrates the chest or abdomen
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop within 5 minutes
- Exposure to toxins
- Persistent vomiting
- Respiratory distress
- Seizures
Many foods can be toxic to cats, including grapes, raisins, chocolate, onions, garlic, shallots, xylitol, and macadamia nuts. If your cat consumes one of these toxic substances, you should consult a vet immediately for treatment.
Common Health Issues in Cats
Cats tend to be more susceptible to specific health issues similar to any other animal. Preventive care is so critical because it can help reduce the risk of your cat experiencing these health issues. Some of the most common health issues in cats include:
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Feline immunodeficiency virus
- Feline leukemia virus
- Heartworm disease
- High-rise syndrome: falling or jumping from windows or balconies
- Rabies
- Ringworm
- Upper respiratory infections
- Intestinal parasites
- Kidney disease
Annual Health Care
In order to keep your cat healthy, you need to keep up with their annual healthcare needs. An annual exam is an essential part of keeping your cat healthy. During a yearly exam, your vet ensures your cat looks and seems healthy, listens to their chest, and inspects various body parts for growth and other issues. Your vet may also do an annual blood test and urine screening as your cat ages.
Vaccinations are also necessary for cats. Certain vaccinations — including the feline distemper, feline leukemia, and rabies vaccines — may need to be administered annually. Kittens also need several vaccines as they grow to prevent diseases.
In addition to this yearly care, you may want to bring your cat to the vet for an exam if they’re sick or suddenly acting strangely.
