Does your cat know when it’s time for a vet visit? 👀🐱
(The carrier comes out… and suddenly your cat is nowhere to be found! 😹)
A few simple steps can help make veterinary visits easier and less stressful:
🐾 Make the carrier familiar
Leave the carrier out ahead of time with a cozy blanket or favorite toy so it becomes a safe space — not something that only appears for vet trips.
🐾 Use calming support
We carry Feliway®, which uses pheromones to help create a more comfortable environment for cats.
🐾 Plan ahead for anxious cats
Some cats experience significant stress with travel or veterinary visits. For these pets, prescription calming medications may be recommended to help make their visit a more positive and less stressful experience. Talk with our team before your appointment to see what options may be appropriate for your cat.
At Flossmoor Animal Hospital, we’ve created a more cat-friendly experience because we understand that cats need a different approach. 💜🐈
✨ Dedicated cat exam rooms
✨ Cat patients are roomed right away whenever possible, so they don’t have to wait in the lobby around other pets
✨ Feliway diffuser in our cat exam room for a calmer environment
✨ Treats and positive distractions to help create a better experience
Our goal is to make veterinary care easier for cats, their families, and everyone involved. 🐾
Healthy cats need regular wellness visits too — and we’re here to help make those visits as comfortable as possible.
