The Importance of Cat Health – From Kitten to Healthy Cat

From the moment a kitten first appears in your home, it is important to monitor its health. Cat health needs to be taken very seriously, starting to feed a kitten can lay a solid foundation for the rest of your life if you make the right choice.

When your little furry friend moves into your home, it’s important to take them to the veterinarian right away. The doctor will be able to identify any health problems, if any, or reassure you that your kitten is in good health – as well as advise on a deworming and flea treatment regimen. You can make an appointment to have your kitten vaccinated against common feline diseases such as cat flu and enteritis from the age of 9 weeks. Try to keep track of how often you take your kitten for vaccinations and when the next vaccination is due in order to protect your pet at this important stage in life.

Proper diet for good health

The next big question is what do you feed your kitten. In order for your kitten to grow into a big strong cat, it is necessary to provide him with the right amounts of nutrients. Keeping an animal healthy requires that you know what food you are feeding your kitten. Is your kitten getting enough vitamins and minerals?
