Clear Your Cat’s Schedule on August 22nd…

…because it’s Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! According to the American Humane Society, our feline companions go to the veterinarian about half as often as dogs. Many people only take their cat to the vet when he or she is sick—and often, that illness might have been avoided with preventive care.

While it’s true that cats can be low-maintenance pets compared to dogs, they still need routine wellness care including exams, vaccines and preventive medications to stay healthy. Felines are very adept at hiding illness and injury, so they may have been suffering a long time before you know it.

This information is also true for indoor cats. Cats who live mostly or entirely in the house still need flea and tick prevention as these parasites can enter the home on other pets and rodents. Should your cat escape, they’re a prime, unprotected target. Fleas will infest your home in a matter of days, and ticks can spread disease to both pets and humans with just one bite. To encourage you to bring your feline to see us, we’re offering a two pawsome perks:

• FREE nail trims all month long
• Triple Bonus Points for cat exams!—get your cat in for an exam and you’ll get 200 extra reward points towards other free services and discounts!

So—how long has it been since your cat saw the vet? If it’s been over a year (or you can’t remember!) schedule an appointment online or call us at (540) 317-3635.
