Health care tips for cats in Spring

New kitten
The first 6 months is one of the most important times in your kitten’s life – both medically and emotionally. All kittens should see the vet at least twice for vaccinations and checkups, should have flea, tick and worm prevention, and good balanced nutrition. 

Product Recommendations for kitten: 

Drontal Plus Film-Coated Tablets for 4kg Cats	Revolution Flea, Tick and Worm Preventation	Royal Canin - First Age Mother & Babycat Dry food

Adult cats
Imagine if you didn’t brush your teeth for five years... that’s what we see with some cats, so it’s no surprise they develop dental decay and smelly breath. Regular dental care is important for all pets and can also be simple and easy.

Product Recommendations for adult cats:

Greenies - Feline Dental Treats	Maxiguard - Oral Cleansing Wipes	VetriScience - Perio Support PRO (Oral Care)

Senior cats

Kidney disease is the number one problem in cats. If cats had one weakness, it’d be their kidneys. Eating a high protein diet and often not drinking enough water can put a big strain on kidneys, and reduced kidney function is one of the most common issues with older cats. The best way to support kidneys is with a healthy diet, good hydration, and a regular vet check. 

Product Recommendations for senior cats:

Petkit - EVERSWEET Solo Pet Water Drinking Fountain	Nutravet - Nutrarenal (Kidney Supplement for Dogs & Cats)	Royal Canin Feline Renal Food
