What does a twice-yearly cat exam entail?

The Cat Wellness Exam

Experts recommend twice-yearly exams for dogs and cats to catch unidentified problems the owner might not be aware of before those health-related problems damage a cat's health.

The cat exam will usually consist of taking blood or other lab samples for testing, a dental check, a parasite check, listening to the heart and circulatory system, and an overall view of the cat and the cat's condition.

These exams don't take a lot of time, but they can make a real difference in the well being of your cat. The doctor gets an idea of how the cat's health is day-to-day, and can quickly assess any problems that might appear. Most vet insurance polices cover the cost of these plans. They understand that routine exams mean better health and fewer health problems down the road.

I think the cat wellness exam has more to do with increasing revenue than concern for the cats health.Now when my cat needs shots they throw in the exam then have the nerve to charge me for an exam which I cannot decline.
