0 Important Cat Infectious Diseases: What Every Responsible Cat Owner Should Know

Cat owners, do you know about Cat Infectious Diseases?

Cats aren’t small dogs.  They are different animals.

While they may have similar diseases like Rabies and Leptospirosis, cat owners should be concerned with diseases specific for cats.

There are several diseases of concern for cats. These three specifically attack the immune system:

1.       Feline Panleukopenia
2.       Feline Immunodeficiency Virus 
3.       Feline Leukemia Virus

Other cat infectious diseases that you should also consider. They are as follows:

1.       Feline Infectious Peritonitis
2.       Feline Rhinotracheitis
3.       Feline Herpes virus
4.       Feline Calicivirus
5.       Chlamydia
6.       Cat Scratch Disease

It is best to visit your veterinarian when your cat is sick.  They can check if your furbaby may have one or more of these diseases (Yes! Your cat may have more than one  infection!).

Your vet can guide you in the prevention, treatment or management of these diseases.

P.S.  Cat Scratch Disease isn’t exactly a disease of cats.  It is an infection that humans may get from cats.

Stay tuned as I give you more details on these diseases that your cat can have in the coming days. With this information, you will be made aware and know what is the best option for your cat to avoid these infectious diseases.

Need to have your cat checked? If you are a responsible pet parent you will choose to go to an expert veterinarian.

Thank you for accommodating us last Sept 30 when we lost our dear Santi. 

It was indeed very painful especially that we were surprised by what happened.

But your assistance that night (considering it’s past 8pm) will always be remembered. God bless you and please continue to be one of the good vets in the metro! 🐶🐕🥰

The vets are very knowledgeable and the assistants too. They know how to handle difficult pets and can do needed work quickly and efficiently to avoid prolonged stress on pets.

It can get packed during weekends and during weekdays, it’s tough to commute or get a taxi/grab out of the area. But it’s worth it.

We have used Makati Dog and Cat to obtain all paperwork and updated permits to fly with our animals to America.

They take care of all the legal required paperwork and vaccines.  They also saved my first cats life who was a Pusakal from Malays. This cat now lives in Las Vegas.

I love the work these Vets do I could not recommend them more as a Fur Baby Daddy and an ExPat who used to live in Makati and now lives in Las Vegas.

Makati Cat & Dog Hospital is my “go to” place for my furbaby Hero because they have different pet services plus the staff are friendly and accomodating.

As we all know, Shih Tzus are very sensitive and my Hero is one of them. I took Hero here 3 years ago when he got really sick & they saved my baby! Special thanks to Dr. Padilla! Thank you Doc!

After that, this is where I take Hero for his regular vaccine & grooming

One thing I love about Makati Cat & Dog Hospital is their pet boarding. During my vacations, This is where Hero stays. Aside from their pet boarding fee which is very affordable, your furbaby is safe and well taken care of. Feeling ko nga nakukulitan na sila sakin kakatawag ko para lang icheck si Hero haha!

Thank you Makati Cat & Dog Hospital! Thank you Dr. Sixto Carlos & to all the staff! Happy client here ❤️

0 Top 3 Practical Reasons Why You Should Have Pet Grooming in A Pet Hospital – Part 3

Have you read my last 2 posts on pet Grooming?

If not you can check them here: Part 1 Part 2

I answered the #1 Question asked on Pet Grooming.

Did you know that most pet owners like you ask the same question?

I also shared a secret information that most pet clinics don’t want you to know.  If you missed my emails, you must scroll down below.

Now on to our last valuable tip on Pet Grooming …

Is It Really Safe To Have Your Pet Grooming Done in A Pet Hospital?

Pet owners, like you, may be worried over the risk of being exposed to sickness when bringing their pets in a pet hospital.

But let me point out ONE VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR that most pet owners miss:

Hospitals have very rigid standards in keeping our place clean to minimize contamination.  Pet Hospitals, like us, take extra precaution more than an ordinary clinic or any grooming facility.

In Makati Dog and Cat Hospital, we have very strict procedures to minimize contamination inside the hospital.

We are taking this to the next level by having a separate area for our premier pet grooming.

When you try our Premium Pet Grooming Service, you’ll see that it is done in a special area, just several meters from our main hospital facility.

Again, the same level of cleanliness standard is also in place to keep it virus-free.

Now, for the summary.

Why You Should Have Your Pet Grooming Done in A Pet Hospital

More than having a trained pet groomer, you will feel secure having our licensed Vet nearby checking on your pet while having him groomed.

Also, you’ll enjoy convenience! When you go to us for pet grooming, you can have your pet’s vaccination, deworming or regular anti-fleas and ticks treatment – all in just ONE VISIT.

Lastly, you’ll feel safe – Makati Dog and Cat Hospital is very strict in cleanliness, avoidance of contamination is our main concern.  Hence, our premier pet grooming is done in a separate area within our pet hospital.

There you have it!

Remember: Once a week is the preferred pet grooming schedule, most especially if you sleep with your dogs or members of your family hug them often.

If  you want to feel safe and secure, have your pet grooming in a Pet Hospital!

I hope to see you and your pet soon!

… And also, when you visit us for pet grooming, pls. tell Ms. Mylez that you read my emails [wink! wink!]

Call her at (02) 896-6386 to set an appointment.

0 Top 3 Practical Reasons Why You Should Have Pet Grooming in A Pet Hospital  – Part 2

Are you one of them?

Most pet owners have this MISCONCEPTION.

This wrong perception often leads to critical conditions that can harm your pet.

Here’s the most common misconception: It’s Expensive To Do Pet Grooming In A Pet Hospital

The opposite hold true:  It is more practical to do pet grooming in a Pet Hospital simply because of ONE REASON.

Practicalities of Pet Grooming In A Pet Hospital

‘Di ba you go to your Vet for vaccination, deworming, check ups, anti-rabies shots or anti fleas and ticks?

Did you know that you can have these other services done with pet grooming?

“Para isang puntahan na lang,” sabi nga ng isang Pet Owner.  “Stress din kasi sa pets ko yung pag punta sa Vet.”

Tama sya di ba?

Hassle yung pa-balik balik ka sa pet salon just for one service like grooming lang, then you’ll go to your Vet for vaccination.  Dalawang labas ng bahay and it means your pet experiences DOUBLE STRESS!

When you go to a Pet Hospital for pet grooming, you can have your pet’s vaccination, deworming or regular anti-fleas and ticks treatment – all in just ONE VISIT.

It’s more practical, it’s more cost efficient to have your pet grooming in a Pet Hospital.

This is one thing that other pet clinics don’t want you to know.

Now, you are one of the few who know better.

I hope this series of articles is helping you.  Let me know if you want more of these, feel free to PM us in our FB Page
