Can My Cats and Kittens Get Vaccines during Exams?

Yes! Adult cats can have their vaccinations updated every year or every few years, depending on which type they get.

How Often Do Cats and Kittens Need Exams?

Adult cats should usually have an annual exam but it may be recommended that a senior cat come in twice a year. Kittens might also be asked to come in more regularly than adult cats.

These visits help us look for problems that may need to be treated as well as provide the necessary vaccines to keep your pet protected.
