Independent, but they deserve careful attention.
Add my pet 🐱Caring for a cat rests on a few simple but regular pillars: vaccination, deworming, parasite protection (fleas and ticks), neutering, and an annual veterinary check-up. Added to this is daily monitoring of weight and behavior, which helps spot a potential problem early. Most of this care follows a precise schedule — and that's exactly what Petzo helps you never forget.
A cat's needs change throughout its life. A kitten requires close care (initial vaccination from 8 weeks, frequent dewormings, identification, then neutering). The adult cat settles into a rhythm of regular preventive care: vaccine boosters, deworming every 3 months on average, antiparasitics depending on lifestyle. The senior cat, with a more fragile body, benefits from closer veterinary monitoring to detect age-related illnesses early. Adapting care to your cat's age is essential — Petzo adjusts reminders accordingly.
A cat that goes outside is more exposed to parasites, injuries and contact with other animals: it warrants stricter deworming and parasite protection. But beware of a misconception: an indoor cat is not safe. It can catch worms via fleas, an occasional prey, or parasite eggs brought in from outside on shoes. Preventive care therefore remains necessary in both cases — only the frequency may vary.
A cat's budget is often underestimated. Counting food, litter and veterinary care, the average annual cost of a cat is between €600 and €900, with food alone accounting for about 60% of this total. On the health side specifically, the routine veterinary budget for a healthy adult cat is around €150 to €300 per year. The first year is the most expensive (identification, initial vaccination, neutering). Tracking your vet expenses helps anticipate this budget — and it's also the right reflex to know whether pet insurance is worth it in your case.
Between vaccines, dewormers, antiparasitics and vet visits, it's easy to lose track. Petzo centralizes your cat's entire health record, automatically calculates the next due dates according to veterinary recommendations, and sends you a reminder at the right time. You can also track its weight, share its record with your vet via a QR code, and keep an eye on your expenses. Everything you need so nothing falls through the cracks.
Supplies, first care, safety, first days: the checklist to welcome a kitten calmly and start its health monitoring on the right foot.

Read article →Yes. Even without going outside, a cat can be exposed to parasites (via fleas or brought in from outside) and develop illnesses. An annual check-up remains recommended for a healthy cat.
There isn't just one: it's the regularity of the whole (vaccines, deworming, antiparasitics, annual check-up) that protects best. Prevention costs far less than treating an established illness.
First care starts early, generally from 8 weeks for the initial vaccination, with even earlier dewormings. Your vet establishes the appropriate schedule.
By centralizing everything in a digital health record like Petzo, which calculates due dates and sends automatic reminders based on your cat's age and profile.
