Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 years and 1 month old | 12 lbs

How often should I bring my cat to the vet? She the last time she saw the vet was a little over a year ago when she had a bladder infection... other than that we don't see a vet regularity...

Cats should be examined by a veterinarian at least annually. This helps us catch any health concerns as early as possible and also helps us provide preventive care such as appropriate vaccines and deworming.
