Cat Wellness

Cats 1-8 years

Cats in this age range need to have yearly heartworm and fecal tests in addition to the annual exam and vaccines.

Dental health is very important. In addition to your pets wellness check-up our veterinary staff will check on your pet’s dental health. Dental health is systemic health. Having your pet’s teeth cleaned on a regular basis is an important step in helping insure your pet stays healthy and happy in the future. A blood test is required for this safe and same-day procedure to help ensure that your pet is healthy before undergoing anesthesia.
Some cats are notorious for having dental issues so getting your cat in routinely can help prevent additional tooth loss. Clean teeth are happy teeth, Ask about dental awareness and products for your pet’s teeth.

8 Years and Beyond

Senior cats need additional support, as they age much more quickly then we do. Keauhou Veterinary Hospital recommends a yearly blood test for your aging cat. Ideally senior pets should be seen every 6 months for their optimal wellness visits.

If your pet is on medications for arthritis or other chronic illnesses, sometimes these medications can have an effect on their organ functions.  They will need to come in for regular bloodwork to make sure their organ function is staying within normal ranges.

As always please allow 24 hours for all prescription refills. This gives our staff the time to review your pet’s records to make sure we can safely refill their prescriptions.

We know many people want to use online pharmacies. We do not participate with these entities. However, if you wish to use one of these companies, we will write you a prescription that your can pickup and fax or mail directly to the company yourself.   These companies are not always licensed in the states that they are selling in, nor do they receive some of the products through legal channels.  Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the medications you receive from these companies is the correct or proper medication. Please understand that by using these companies you are unable to receive support or compensation from the manufactures if something should go wrong.  When you purchase your products directly from your veterinary office they are able to track your medications, should there be any recalls or adverse effects reported.
