Affordable Cat Checkups & Wellness Exams In Calgary

Our experienced Calgary veterinarians provide thorough, affordable cat checkups and wellness exams that help keep your cat healthy throughout every life stage.

Why Regular Cat Checkups Matter

Cats instinctively hide illness, often masking symptoms until conditions become serious.

Regular cat checkups help detect health issues early—from kidney disease to dental problems—when they're most treatable and less expensive to manage.

Preventive care through routine wellness exams helps your cat stay healthy and comfortable throughout their life, catching small issues before they become big problems.

What We Examine During Your Cat's Checkup

Every cat checkup at our Calgary clinic includes:

• Physical Examination: Our veterinarians perform a nose-to-tail assessment, checking your cat's eyes, ears, teeth, skin, coat, heart, lungs, abdomen, and joints.
• Weight & Body Condition Assessment: We monitor your cat's weight and body condition score to prevent obesity-related health issues and ensure proper nutrition.
• Vaccination Review: We'll discuss your cat's lifestyle and recommend appropriate vaccinations to keep them protected against common diseases in Calgary.
• Parasite Prevention: Our team will recommend the best parasite prevention plan for your cat, protecting against fleas, ticks, and internal parasites common in Calgary.
• Dental Health Check: Dental disease affects most cats by age three. We examine your cat's teeth and gums during every checkup, recommending cleaning or treatment when necessary.
• Diagnostic Testing: When needed, we may recommend blood work, urinalysis, or other tests to screen for hidden health issues.

Kitten Checkups In Calgary

Starting your kitten's healthcare journey right sets the foundation for a lifetime of health. Kitten checkups at Barlow Trail Animal Hospital focus on:

• Initial health assessment and congenital condition screening
• Vaccination series (FVRCP and Rabies)
• Deworming protocols
• Spay/neuter consultation and timing
• Nutrition counseling for growing kittens
• Behavior and socialization guidance

We recommend kitten checkups every 3-4 weeks until they're about 16 weeks old, then transitioning to regular annual cat wellness exams.

Senior Cat Wellness Exams In Calgary

Cats age faster than humans, and those over seven years old benefit from more frequent cat vet checkups—ideally twice yearly.

Senior cat wellness exams at our Calgary clinic include everything in a standard checkup plus:

• Blood pressure monitoring
• Comprehensive blood work to check organ function
• Thyroid screening
• Arthritis assessment
• Cognitive function evaluation
• Pain management consultation

Early detection of age-related conditions like kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes allows us to manage these issues effectively, helping your senior cat maintain quality of life.
