Carrier training doesn’t have to be stressful — and there’s more than one way to teach it! Every cat learns differently, but the goal is always the same: helping your cat see the carrier as a safe, positive place instead of something scary.

The key points:
✔️ Go slowly and use small steps
✔️ Reward calm, curious behavior
✔️ Keep training sessions short and positive
✔️ Leave the carrier out regularly so it becomes familiar
✔️ Use treats, meals, toys, and praise to build positive associations

Whether your cat learns quickly or needs more time, patience and consistency go a long way. Carrier training can reduce stress during vet visits, travel, and emergencies for both cats and their humans.

Unbeknownst to many, acupuncture is an effective way to treat diseases/illnesses and provide comfort to your cats! At our clinics, Dr. Pair offers 3 different types of acupuncture.

Dry needle technique
This technique involves the use of very small sterile needles inserted at acupoints. It is the basic form of acupuncture and although basic, is very effective.

Electro-acupuncture
The same needles are used as in dry needling, but an electroacupuncture unit (similar to a tens unit) is used to provide a deeper response. Special cords are connected to the needles on the body, and electrical impulses are sent through them, providing a more profound response. Some cats do not tolerate electroacupuncture because it is too much stimulation for a sensitive feline. It is not an appropriate treatment for cats who are aggressive, extremely worked up, or extremely nervous at the veterinarian's office.

Aqua-acupuncture
Involves injecting a sterile liquid (often Vitamin B) into an acupuncture point to provide a longer-lasting effect. This is a great treatment choice for cats who don’t tolerate sitting with the needles in for the whole treatment.

Schedule an acupuncture consultation to see if any of these would be a good option for your kitty!

Feliway Optimum is highly recommended by our veterinarians when it comes to mitigating behavioral problems in the home!

How it works:
FELIWAY Optimum replicates the natural feline pheromones that cats release to mark their territory and convey feelings of safety and contentment.

What it helps with:
It can be beneficial for reducing signs of stress in cats, including scratching, urine spraying, hiding, tension between cats, and reactions to changes in their environment.

How to use it:
The diffuser is plugged into an electrical outlet in the room where your cat spends most of their time. It's recommended to keep it plugged in 24/7 for best results, and the pheromone refill lasts for approximately 30 days.

Benefits:
FELIWAY Optimum can help create a more pleasant environment for cats, making them feel more comfortable, confident, and less stressed.

Important note:
FELIWAY Optimum is not a drug and has no known side effects. It's a natural, pheromone-based solution for helping cats cope with stress and anxiety.
