Get Your Cat Vaccinated And Enjoy Peace Of Mind

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

by Alison Heath

Anybody who owns a cat must be responsible with ensuring his health. And taking care of his health would definitely entail having your cat vaccinated.

6-8 week old kittens

Give your cat his first vaccination when he is a month and a half to two months old. From birth to six weeks, a cat can rely on the antibodies of his mother. But, once he is weaned from the mother, he needs his own antibodies to protect him.

Before anything else, though, your vet would need to be sure that your cat does not have worms, and would need to give him a physical exam, stool exam included. Feline Infectious Peritonitis and Feline Leukemia are two common diseases kittens pick up, and the vet also needs to take blood samples and test them to make sure your cat doesn’t have these. These tests don’t take long to be done, likely only minutes. Chances are your cat will get either a Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) or Feline Leukemia vaccine. Cats that never leave their home may not need these vaccines.

by Harry Barber

Not only are more of us turning into Jabba the Hut and growing horizontally, but the same applies to our dogs as they turn into Jabba the Hound. The consequences can be dire, as obese dogs and obese people have several parallels, as they both have greater chances of heart disease, weak joints and respiratory tract disease. In short, it is every bit as dangerous for a dog to be carrying extra weight as it is for a person - perhaps more so due to the shorter lifespan that dogs have.
