Why is it important for a kitten to visit a veterinarian regularly?

Kittens, like children, need vaccinations and regular visits to the doctor to stay healthy. Together with a veterinarian, you can provide your kitten with the best care for a long and healthy life. A veterinarian is the best source of information about your kitten’s health, so it’s important to follow his recommendations to give your pet a good start to a long, healthy life.

The sooner you visit a veterinarian, the better. Vaccination of kittens should start at an early age. The veterinarian will draw up a vaccination schedule for the kitten and tell you the timing of re-vaccinations. Be sure to have regular veterinary checkups every six months or as recommended by your veterinarian.

So, what to expect from visiting the veterinarian with a kitten? The most common diagnostic tests ordered by a veterinarian are stool tests for endoparasites and blood tests for certain diseases. During the examination, the veterinarian will feel the kitten’s abdomen, listen to the lungs, assess the condition of the coat, examine the ears for infectious diseases and ear mites, as well as the oral cavity for plaque, tartar and gum disease. Also during the visit, you can ask the veterinary specialist questions about choosing the right food for your pet.
