Visiting the vets can be very stressful for cats π
Transporting them in a carrier is the safest option, but it can also feel a little overwhelming.
Make the carrier a safe space, not a window to the world!
π‘ Cover the carrier with a lightweight blanket to help block out the elements and create a calmer, more secure journey.
π‘ Add a familiar smell from home using their blankets or toys to the carrier, creating that extra comfort.
π‘Spray a cat-friendly pheromone product onto the bedding before travelling, following the product instructions.
π‘ Leave the carrier out at home with the door open so your cat can explore it at their own pace. Add familiar bedding or treats to make it feel inviting.
π‘ Use a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier that is large enough for your cat to stand, turn around and lie down comfortably.
