Routine Checkups – Should be as Regular as a Cat Nap

Cats will always love balls of yarn, they'll always want one more treat and they'll always take a scratch on the chin. Regular checkups for your indoor or outdoor cat should be just as routine. A regularly-scheduled assessment of your cat's health is a sure way to keep him or her healthy and comfortable.

We recommend at least one checkup every six months. This will give you and your Banfield veterinarian a chance to detect any health issues your Pet may be facing, and help your cat live up to 25% longer.

For more information on routine checkups and other cat health issues, please see our PetMD resource area »

Banfield Optimum Wellness Plans® are the most cost-effective way to give your Pet the comprehensive veterinary care he deserves including vaccinations, physical exams and free, unlimited office calls.
