Tuscon, AZ - Celia Gets a Check-Up

Our cat, Celia, was due to have her 6-month wellness checkup, so we made an appointment and took her to a nearby Banfield Pet Hospital today. We use Banfield Pet Hospitals for our animal care for two primary reasons:

(1) We pay a monthly amount per pet, which covers one year of routine care and also gives us a discount on medications, etc. This helps us to budget for and spread out the cost of pet care.

(2) Banfield Pet Hospitals can be found in most states in the lower 48, and their patient records are all connected. So just about anywhere we go, we can take our animals to a nearby Banfield Pet Hospital for check-ups, and get their medications refilled.

It is also convenient that most Banfield Pet Hospitals are located inside PetSmart stores and have convenient evening and weekend hours.

We dropped Ms Celia off around 8:30AM this morning and picked her up this afternoon, when we got back to Tuscon from visiting the Biosphere 2. As expected, she is healthy but about 25% overweight; this was not a newsflash for us - she tends to "overflow" when she lays down. Lol!  Anyway, we listened to some tips from the VetTech about food changes and how to better control her eating habits. We'll give it a shot and see if we can get the old girl slimmed down.

I suspect Celia will not be appreciative of the upcoming dietary changes!
