(Focus: Health & Safety Tips You Shouldn’t Skip!)
Your cat’s first vet visit sets the foundation for a lifetime of wellness. Yet many new pet parents overlook a few key steps. Let’s break down the essentials:
1. Don’t Miss the Vaccine Schedule
Kittens require 3–4 rounds of core vaccinations.
🕒 Pro Tip: Set a reminder immediately after your first visit—missing a booster can reduce effectiveness.
2. Dental Health Starts Day One
Did you know 80% of cats develop dental issues by age 3?
🪥 Start brushing weekly with a cat-safe toothbrush and paste—it’s a simple habit that prevents costly vet bills later.
3. Choose a Non-Transparent Carrier
Cats travel best when they feel hidden and secure.
Opt for a sturdy, non-transparent carrier with mesh ventilation—not a fully see-through one. It reduces stress even during short vet trips.
💡 Did You Know?
Annual blood work can detect early kidney issues—the leading cause of illness in senior cats.
