Preventive Healthcare

Monitoring trends in medicine is very helpful

Preventive Testing is the Key to Monitoring Health and Happiness 

Early detection leads to better outcomes, improved quality of life, and lower treatment costs. It is common knowledge that cats age faster than humans (10 human years is equivalent to the age of 56 in a cats life.)  Cats at Home believes that ongoing monitoring of your kitty’s health is an excellent approach to providing recommendations by our Veterinarians for the welfare of your cat.  Preventive blood and urine testing of the various organs such as liver, kidney, pancreas, and gallbladder, etc. give us a good picture of how healthy each organ is functioning and how we can help to keep them healthy.  This leads to maintaining quality of life and longevity for your cat.  Years of experience have confirmed our belief in periodic monitoring of your cats health to give them a longer and more enjoyable life with you.
