Keeping your cat and dog vaccinations up to date is key when it comes to protecting your four-legged family member from a wide range of serious and contagious diseases. Having your pet spayed or neutered, as well, can not only prevent unwanted litters, but can help to protect your pet.

  While the following aren't kitten vaccinations, neutering spaying and microchipping your cat can help to protect them from a variety of health issues. Because of this, they all fall under the umbrella of preventative healthcare.  

  • Spay (females) - Spaying your female cat prevents the birth of unwanted litters of kittens, protects your cat against serious illnesses, and can help to prevent behaviors such as howling and scooting that accompany heat cycles.
  • Neuter (males) - Neutering your male cat prevents your pet from fathering unwanted kittens, protects your cat against various illnesses, and can help to prevent territory marking (spraying), roaming, howling, and cat aggression. 
  • Microchipping - Microchipping is a permanent kind of identification you can have implanted into your pet. a Microchip is the size of a grain of rice and is placed beneath your pet's skin. Microchipped pets have a much better chance of being reunited with their owners if they are lost.
