Every cat owner, without exception, should know how often their pet needs to be checked.

The frequency of visits to the veterinarian depends on the age of the animal and its health.

Kittens up to one year

For pets under one year of age, it is recommended to visit the veterinarian 3-4 times during the first year of life.

This is necessary in order to make all the necessary vaccinations, as well as to monitor the growth and development of the kitten.

Cats from 1 year to 7 years

For healthy adult cats under 7 years of age, it is recommended to visit the veterinarian at least once a year, unless they have chronic diseases.
