Nurturing the Health and Happiness of Your Feline Friend!
Prioritizing your cat's well-being is our mission at Markham Woods Animal Hospital. A regular wellness exam, conducted by one of our skilled veterinarians, in conjunction with a thorough history and your observations at home, is key to keeping your cat in the best possible health. These routine exams are designed to detect potential health issues early, ensuring a longer and higher quality of life for your cat. We recommend scheduling a wellness exam at least annually, with older pets or those facing health concerns benefiting from more frequent check-ups.
The wellness exam provides an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you may have about your cat's health with our veterinary professionals. Topics such as nutrition, allergies, bad breath, mobility issues, infection risks, and any lifestyle and age-related changes are all important considerations for your cat's health. Our veterinarians' expertise is at your disposal, encouraging open discussions about all aspects of your pet's medical and wellness health..
Our adult cat wellness exams cover critical elements, including: 
- A comprehensive physical examination involving dental and body/muscle assessment
- Evaluation of your cat's coat, skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, legs, paws, abdomen, gastrointestinal system, and urogenital system
- Tailored vaccines specific to your cat's needs
- Internal parasite prevention and flea and tick prevention as needed
- Heartworm prevention
- Recommended testing for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, based on your cat's lifestyle
- Dental exams and preventative dental cleanings
- In-depth discussions about your cat's nutrition and diet
Feline Vaccines
We design personalized vaccine protocols for each cat, maximizing protection against likely diseases while minimizing the number of vaccines administered. Our recommendations are based on up-to-date research and the incidence of disease in our area. We assess your cat's individual risk during the exam, allowing us to create a customized vaccine protocol that can be adjusted with lifestyle changes to keep your cat protected.
Internal Parasite Prevention and Control
Preventing internal parasitic infections is crucial for both your cat's health and the well-being of your family. Our team at Markham Woods Animal Hospital provides effective prevention and control measures to safeguard your cat from these potential threats.
Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks are not only bothersome to your cat's skin but can also transmit various diseases. Our hospital offers safe and highly effective products to treat and prevent flea and tick infestations, ensuring your cat remains free from these troublesome parasites.
Heartworm
Cats can get heartworm too, but it is a preventable disease. Our hospital provides excellent monthly preventatives to protect your cat from heartworm disease, with our team guiding you through the best product and prevention plan for your furry friend.
