Cat Health & Safety

We vets recognize that visiting us can sometimes be stressful or anxiety-inducing for pets (and people). We really do try to make the experience as pleasant and calming as possible, but you can help your kitty as well. One way is to acclimate them to their carrier, the car, and your vet’s office. The latter can be done with regular “social visits” — which are all about exploration, cuddles, and treats, and can go a long way towards helping to prevent or reduce current and future visit stress. Many practices encourage them, ask your vet. This is just one way you can help! There are many other tips and techniques in the resources below — far too many to list here. Check ’em out; you and your kitty — and your vet — will be happy you did!
