Cats
Getting a nervous cat to the vet
Small changes at home that make the carrier, the car and the waiting room far less scary.
Leave the carrier out all week with a blanket and a few treats inside. Cats hate it because it only appears before the vet.
Cover the carrier in the car and keep the radio low. At the clinic, our cat-only waiting room is quieter and never smells of dog.
If your cat is very anxious, ask us about calming medication before the visit. A calmer cat means a better exam and a shorter one.
