PURRFECTLY CALM FROM HOME TO CLINIC

‍
Let’s be honest… most cats think the vet = betrayal. Dragged from their comfy kingdom, stuffed into a carrier, then taken on a loud, bumpy car ride? Rude.

The good news? There are ways to make vet visits far less stressful for your kitty!

‍
1. Make the carrier a safe space: instead of hiding it in the garage, leave the carrier out all the time near a favourite nap or play spot. Let your cats explore it on their own terms (bonus points for treats inside!) 

2. Keep them home the night before: Nothing spikes stress like a missing cat right before an appointment! Lock them inside the night before to avoid the panic search 

3. Try calming pheromones: Products like Feliway can help take the edge off. Spray the carrier 15-30mins before leaving to help your cat feel more relaxed 

4. Ask us for extra help: If your cat gets very anxious, chat with our vets about pre-visit calming medication – sometimes a little help goes a long way!
