We know that cats often find vet visits stressful, and we do everything we can to minimize that. When you arrive at South Pasadena Animal Hospital, our team will greet you warmly and get your cat settled in a calm, quiet area. We recommend keeping your cat in their carrier until they're in the exam room for the most comfortable experience.
Your veterinarian will perform a gentle, thorough physical examination — checking your cat's weight, heart, lungs, teeth, skin, coat, eyes, and ears. We'll review any medical history, discuss your cat's diet, lifestyle (indoor vs. outdoor), litter box habits, and behavior. Together, we'll create a personalized care plan that addresses your cat's specific health needs.
Whether you're bringing in a new kitten for their first round of vaccines or a senior cat for a wellness checkup, our goal is for both you and your cat to leave feeling relaxed and confident about the care plan ahead.
Yes. Even indoor-only cats need annual wellness exams and core vaccinations. Indoor cats can still develop dental disease, obesity, kidney issues, and other conditions that are best caught early through regular checkups. Annual visits help us keep your indoor cat healthy and comfortable.
All cats should receive the FVRCP vaccine (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) and rabies vaccine. Depending on your cat's lifestyle and risk factors, we may also recommend the FeLV (feline leukemia) vaccine. Our team will help you determine the right vaccination schedule for your cat.
Yes. Dental disease is very common in cats, and professional cleanings under anesthesia are the best way to address tartar buildup, gingivitis, and tooth resorption. We perform thorough cleanings with scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary.
For senior cats (typically age 10 and older), we recommend twice-yearly wellness exams and comprehensive bloodwork panels to screen for common age-related conditions like kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes. Early detection gives us the best chance to manage these conditions and keep your senior cat comfortable.
We use gentle handling techniques, keep the environment calm and quiet, and give your cat time to acclimate before the exam begins. We recommend bringing your cat in a secure carrier with a familiar blanket or towel to help them feel safe. Our team is patient and experienced with feline behavior.
Our wellness exam fees and service prices are published on our pricing page. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprise charges, and we'll always discuss costs before recommending any additional diagnostics or treatment.

Cats have unique health needs that differ from dogs, and our veterinary team understands those differences. From the way we handle feline patients to the diagnostic approach we take for common cat health issues, every aspect of our care is tailored to your cat's comfort and well-being.

Many Alhambra cat owners are surprised to learn that dental disease affects the majority of cats over age three. Regular dental cleanings under anesthesia can prevent painful infections, tooth resorption, and other oral health problems that are common in cats. Our team also frequently helps cats with weight management, urinary issues, and skin conditions — all of which benefit from early detection during routine wellness visits.
Senior cats (age 10 and older) benefit from twice-yearly wellness exams with comprehensive bloodwork to screen for kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and other age-related conditions.
