You love your cat. You certainly want the best for her. Your best pet insurance is preventive care. What does that mean exactly?
All pets should have regular exams. This is not only to identify new conditions, but to build a history so your veterinarian can identify trends and changes. Some illnesses can appear quickly–or they may seem to. Cats tend to behave closer to their wild counterparts. Just as a wild cat would not want to show weakness or vulnerability, so does your cat attempt to hide symptoms. When a cat does act sick, something is very wrong allowing her feelings to trump her natural instincts.
Vaccinations should be up to date, especially so if your cat goes out at all. While your veterinarian may make some adjustments to your cat’s vaccination schedule based on her lifestyle, remember by law, her rabies vaccination must be current.
Another aspect of good preventive care is dental health. It’s not just about white teeth. It’s about preventing infections and other more serious conditions. The best preventive care is brushing your pet’s teeth. Of course, not all cats are so willing. If not, a daily dental treat like CET Cat Treats will help keep her teeth healthy in a more passive way.
A good diet is the foundation for good health. Cats being the carnivores that they are, thrive best on a diet low in carbs and higher in protein. While opinions vary, canned food is a better choice in replicating their natural diet. Cats don’t drink a lot of water. Canned food provides the necessary moisture.
Finally, build a good relationship with your cat. Handle them frequently. In this way, you can spot abnormalities such as lumps and cysts more quickly. Early diagnosis of a condition increases your pet’s life span. Providing good and regular preventive care is your best pet insurance.
