How often do you take a cat to the vet?
A cat should see a veterinarian at least once a year for an examination. Many cats are healthy and do not require regular veterinary care, but your vet will recommend routine visits based on the health status of your cat. While there are some exceptions (please note that this is general information and if you have any specific concerns about your pet’s health you should consult with your vet), this is the standard protocol for most well cared-for pets. The only exception to this rule would be senior cats, as these animals can experience more complicated age-related diseases. Senior animals typically need more frequent examinations every six months or so instead of annually. With all medical procedures, it’s important to find one that’s appropriate for now and will benefit your pet in the future.
