In the hustle of everyday life in the UAE, it’s easy to overlook the subtle health signs our feline companions may be showing. But cats are masters at hiding discomfort — which makes regular checkups not just a luxury, but a necessity.
Welcome to CatCheckup.com — your local guide to proactive, at-home cat care and trusted veterinary resources across the Emirates.
🧠 Why Cat Health Checks Matter More Than You Think
Cats often don’t show symptoms until an issue becomes serious. By making routine checkups a habit, you can:
- Detect early signs of common issues like dental disease, kidney problems, or obesity
- Track changes in appetite, behavior, and mobility
- Prevent future vet emergencies (and unexpected bills!)
🏡 What You Can Do at Home (In Under 10 Minutes)
Here’s a quick weekly home check:
- Eyes: Clear, bright, no discharge
- Ears: Clean, odor-free, no redness or wax buildup
- Mouth & Gums: Pink and moist (not pale or bleeding)
- Fur & Skin: Smooth coat, no bald spots, bumps, or fleas
- Weight & Movement: Noticeable gain/loss? Limping or stiffness?
🏥 When to Visit a Vet in the UAE
Here’s when you should book an appointment ASAP:
- Your cat is vomiting, has diarrhea, or is lethargic
- They’re hiding more than usual or refusing food
- There’s excessive scratching, limping, or labored breathing
