Healthy Pets Scheme
Cats Come to Parkside with your new kitten for a free first check as soon as you have the kitten. This ensures all is well with the new family member. Be prepared to return a kitten to the breeder if we find a serious defect - especially if you paid £300-400 for the privelage. You can have 4 weeks free medical insurance, guidance on kitten care and advice on deworming, flea prevention and lots more. Pick up your free Kitten pack too. Deworm every 2 weeks untill 12 weeks of age - use something from us - it will be cheaper than pet shop and much more effective. Vaccinate at 9 and 12 weeks - see vaccinations for details. Vet Check at 6 months to ensure devlopment is normal. Deworm again at 6 months - use a product from us, which covers all tapeworms and roundworms in one effective tablet. Now available is a new spot-on wormer, made by Bayer. This kills all the different types of worms in one dose. Three sizes, according to the size of cat. The liquid is simply applied to the base of the neck, in front of the shoulders, where the cat cannot lick. Sounds like we may avoid a lot of blood-letting!! This can be used instead of tablets, though it does cost more. Have a look at Bayer's web site all about parasites, with Lucy and Banjo Arrange neutering at this time too. De-worm, preferably every 3 months, but 6 months minimum. Hunting cats will pick up tapeworms and should always be de-wormes every 3 months. At 10-12 months make a nurse's appointment for a health check. Pick up wormers at same time. Vet check at 15 months and first Vaccination Booster. Yearly checks and vaccinations, with regular deworming. Read about cat diseases ::HERE on the FAB website |
