Preventative Healthcare

Everyone knows an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. At the Kentwood Cat Clinic and Cat Clinic North, we strongly believe in preventative medicine. Important examples are neutering, yearly examinations and vaccinations, as well as blood testing and dental care. We routinely perform blood testing for infectious diseases as well as blood panels that give us baseline values for organ functioning, and red and white blood cell counts. These tests help us to catch diseases in their early stages to help effectively treat your cat. Another vital part of preventative health is dentistry. We advocate keeping your cats teeth clean and healthy because dental disease can cause diseases of other body systems. Also, preventative cleaning decreases the need for tooth extractions which can be costly and painful. All in all, preventative healthcare is the most loving way to care for your cat and to keep him/her happy and healthy longer.
