WHAT VETS WISH CAT OWNERS KNEW...

ABOUT KIDNEYS-
“My cat urinates big amounts – this means his kidneys are working, right?”
NO! In 90% of older cats with kidney insufficiency, the first sign will be a lack of ability to concentrate the urine. This requires these cats to get rid of more “water” along with the urine wastes. So actually, these cats’ kidneys may be marginal, and this is a good time to have your vet check things out!

ABOUT MICROCHIPS-
They save lives! Call your vet and get it done now!

ABOUT VET VISITS-
Just because your cat looks healthy does not mean it is. Cats are subtle creatures, and veterinarians are trained to look beyond outward appearances… Annual exams are a MUST for ALL cats. If your cat hates to travel, find a mobile or housecall vet, but don’t put this off.

ABOUT ARTHRITIS-
Many people think if their cat has arthritis there is nothing they can do. Actually there are many supplements or even medicines that can give an old cat a new lease on life. Talk to your vet about ways to help your cat feel more comfortable.
