Why Annual Cat Check-Ups Matter More Than You Think
Cats are experts at hiding illness. Even if your feline looks perfectly healthy on the outside, there could be underlying health issues that aren't visible to the eye. That’s why an annual veterinary check-up is essential to help ensure your cat stays strong, healthy, and lives a long, happy life.
1. Why Are Annual Health Checks for Cats Important?
Regular check-ups allow veterinarians to detect early signs of hidden conditions such as :
- Kidney and urinary tract disease
- Dental and oral health problems
- Feline viruses (e.g., Feline Leukemia Virus – FeLV, FIV)
- Weight or nutritional imbalances
- Skin and coat issues
Annual health checks also help tailor your cat’s care—like adjusting diet, supplements, and activity plans—to fit their needs at every life stage.
2. What’s Included in a Standard Cat Check-Up?
General physical exam – weight check, eyes, ears, mouth, and skin assessment
Blood test – evaluates liver, kidney function, and immune status
Urinalysis – monitors urinary tract and kidney health
Dental check – identifies tartar, tooth decay, or gum disease
Disease screening – includes FeLV, FIV, and blood parasites
Most of these tests are included in PETClub's Wellness Cat Profile, a comprehensive annual screening package.
3. How to Prepare Before and After a Vet Visit?
Before the appointment :
- Feed your cat normally (unless fasting is required)
- Bring medical history, vaccination records, and notes on unusual behaviors
- Let your cat get used to their travel carrier to reduce stress
After the visit :
- Follow all vet recommendations carefully
- Provide food and toys that suit your cat’s current health needs
- Use PETClub products like kidney-support formulas or coat supplements to support specific conditions
4. Daily Care = Long-Term Prevention
Yearly vet check-ups are most effective when paired with daily care routines.
Keep your cat healthy by :
- Choosing high quality, balanced cat food
- Providing clean, fresh water daily
- Using clean litter to avoid urinary issues
- Encouraging play and physical activity
- Monitoring for any changes in behavior or appetite
