Senior cats are often affected by hidden diseases that go undetected until advanced stages. This session will explore the findings of the Mortier study to highlight gaps in feline preventive care and examine key conditions that may be improved through early detection. Emphasis will be placed on the latest diagnostic data and the role of regular wellness assessments in improving outcomes. Attendees will also gain strategies for practice- and client-level change management to better support feline health through proactive care.
