SUGGESTIONS ON BRINGING YOUR CAT TO THE VETERINARIAN


Most cats do not view a trip to the veterinarian as a trip to the spa. There are ways you can make the visit more comfortable for your friend.

1. Leave your carrier out for a few days before your appointment.

2. Encourage your cat to get in and out by putting some treats in the carrier.

3. If possible take your cat for drives periodically that do not end up at the veterinary office.

4. Bring a towel that you can put over the carrier in the car and in the waiting room.

5. When you come to the office we will try to put you quickly into an exam room.
