How often does your cat see the vet?

This week is Take Your Cat to the Vet Week.

On average, cats visit the veterinarian less than half as often as dogs. Assumptions that cats don’t require the same care as dogs or don’t get ill as often just aren’t true. The CATalyst Council supports the American Veterinary Medical Association’s position that twice-yearly wellness exams for all cats are justifiable. More frequent vet visits may be required for seniors and geriatrics, and for cats with medical and behavioral conditions.
