You know how you have to go in for your annual physical? Well, your cat needs to visit the vet once a year, too!
But according to a new survey from Royal Canin, not all pet owners schedule that yearly vet appointment. Royal Canin surveyed 1,000 people and found that those with cats are six times less likely than those with dogs to take their pet to the vet. What’s more, two-thirds of cat owners think kitties have fewer health issues than dogs.
Why it’s important to stay up-to-date on your feline’s health: According to Royal Canin, cats can hide pain easily, so yours could be sick without you even noticing it. Yearly wellness exams are essential for cats to live long and healthy lives!
Are you ready to call up your vet? Take Royal Canin’s pledge, and the brand will donate a bowl of food to a shelter in need.
