 Vaccines:  Keeping your cat vaccinated helps to protect your cat form the risk of contracting possibly fatal and infectious diseases.  Rabies is a required vaccination.  

Deworming: Parasites that live in your cat’s intestines can cause diarrhea, vomiting and weight loss.  They also pose a health risk to humans specially children who are exposed to cat feces.  Routine fecal screenings should be a part of your cat’s general health regiment.

 Fleas:  Fleas can live year around in Oregon.  Products sold over the counter are often not effective and may be toxic to cats.  An itchy cat is an uncomfortable cat!  Frontline Plus™ monthly spot on treatment kills the adult fleas, flea eggs, and ticks on contact.

 Observing Your Pet’s Health:  As your cat ages, they will have special needs.  Please make an appointment if your cat shows these or any other symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, not eating/weight loss, urination issues, sneezing, coughing, hair loss or behavior problems.
