Vaccination Recommendations In Our Industry Have Changed Over the Years. It is important that all owners understand that not all vaccines require yearly boosters, but more importantly understand that routine physical exams and vaccines catered to your pet's lifestyle are vital to a long, healthy life. Yes, there are pets that can live 14-19 years with a few vaccines and no routine care. However, that lifespan is very unlikely to happen and their quality of life or how they feel on a daily basis would typically be worse compared to those pets that receive appropriate vaccinations and routine care.
To catch disease early and to intervene before small issues become big ones, we recommend that a full exam be done at least yearly in pets under 7 and twice a year in pets 7 and older. Comprehensive care leads to a higher quality, longer life for your pet. Proactive owners often spend less on overall care because early intervention can delay the onset, decrease the severity of, or completely prevent future problems.

FELV/FIV testing:
Any cat that has not been tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) or Feline Aids (FIV) should be tested. If there are already cats in the household and a new cat is being introduced, FELV/FIV status should be known for all cats involved. Because most indoor cats are not routinely vaccinated against FeLV, it is vital that new introductions be tested prior to their exposure to other established felines in the household. See links to FELV and FIV if you have questions regarding these diseases:
