Bi-annual Physicals for Cats

Cats mature quickly. A 1-year-old cat is roughly equivalent to a 15-year-old human — and by age 2, a cat is comparable to a 25-year-old adult.

That’s why we recommend twice-yearly physical exams for all cats. Bi-annual exams help us detect health concerns early, before they become more serious or harder to treat.

For Cats Under 7 (Healthy Adults)

These cats should receive:

• Annual blood work

• Two full physical exams per year

Regular visits help identify subtle changes in your cat’s health that might otherwise go unnoticed.
