🐈Tips for a Cat’s Fear-Free Vet Visit🐈
🐾 Carrier: We recommend a carrier that opens from the top. Make the carrier a safe haven for your cat. Leave it out and open, give treats in cage, put a favourite blanket, towel, or toy inside the carrier to make it cosier.
🐾 Help familiarize your cat to the sounds and motion of the car by taking your cat for short trips.
🐾 Spray your cat’s carrier with the synthetic pheromone, Feliway.
🐾 If your cat is a foodie, use a favourite snack to attract her into the carrier, .
🐾 If your cat is very stressed, discuss medication such as Gabapentin with your veterinarian. Gabapentin can make the trip less stressful for everyone.
🐾 In an emergency situation, use the “burrito” trick. Snuggly wrap your cat in a blanket or towel with just their head out
