 FELINE PREVENTATIVE CARE:

In addition to the vaccinations recommended by your veterinarian for your pet, the following measures should also be routinely practiced to prevent other disease.
 
FECAL EXAMINATION
This test detects intestinal parasites (roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia and tapeworms). Kittens become infected in their mother’s womb and from her milk. Adult cats become infected by ingesting the eggs in other cat’s feces, eating rodents, birds, or fleas, or by penetration of their paw pads. Some parasites can be spread to humans and be very dangerous, particularly to children. Therefore, it is important to check a stool sample every 6 -12 months. 
 
FLEA AND TICK PREVENTION
Topical liquid applied every month (April-December) to kill fleas and ticks.
 
ANNUAL BLOOD SCREEN
This blood screen is recommended for pets 7 years of age and older to detect problems related to aging. Early detection may improve and lengthen your pet’s life.
