Great tips for when taking your feline companions to the vets!

We understand that visiting the vet can be a stressful experience for both cats and caregivers. Our top tips will help reduce some of that stress and anxiety 👇

🐱 Choose a sturdy and secure carrier, place a blanket from home inside for a familiar scent.

🐱 Leave the carrier out at home as an extra bed or safe space, so your cat doesn’t always associate it with leaving.

🐱 Spray the carrier with synthetic feline pheromones at least 15 minutes before putting your cat in it.

🐱 Cover the carrier with a cloth or towel while you are travelling to help keep your cat calm. Rather than holding the carrier by the handle, which can cause it to swing, carry it with both hands from underneath.

🐱 Visit an accredited Cat Friendly Clinic so you know your cat will be handled gently, with respect, and their unique needs will be understood. Find your nearest 👉 https://icatcare.org/cat-friendly-clinic/for-owners-and-caregivers

Dogs - walk dawn and dusk when it’s cooler

Cats - Ensure you use sun block on delicate ear tips of light coated cats

Rabbits and guinea pigs - Hutches can turn into ovens for them - consider moving them indoors

Rats/hamsters/Gerbils - put a bowl of water with ice cubes in their cage and freeze large pebbles to dot around to keep them cool.
