What happens at a kitten health check?

Here’s what you can expect at a typical kitten health check:
Full physical examination
We check eyes, ears, mouth, skin, heart, lungs, tummy, joints, and more to ensure your kitten is developing normally.
Flea and worming advice
We’ll recommend a safe, effective parasite prevention plan.
Kitten vaccinations
We’ll discuss and begin their core vaccination schedule, if needed.
Microchipping
We’ll talk you through when and how to microchip your kitten, which is now a legal requirement in the UK.
Diet and nutrition guidance
Tailored advice on feeding your kitten to support healthy growth.
Behavioural tips
From litter training to playtime, we can help you understand your kitten’s needs.
Neutering advice
We’ll discuss the best time to neuter your cat, based on your kitten’s breed and lifestyle.
Free extras for new kitten owners
At your kitten’s first vaccination, you’ll receive a kitten pack including a food sample, a toy, and other goodies to help them settle in. Plus, we provide one month’s free insurance to give you peace of mind in those early weeks.
