For some cats, a visit to the vets can be a pretty overwhelming experience. New smells, unfamiliar sounds and a completely different environment can all be a lot to take in!
That’s why, where possible, we like to give our feline patients time to acclimatise to the consult room before we start their examination. 🐾
Letting cats explore at their own pace, sniff around and become familiar with their surroundings can help them feel more comfortable and secure. For some cats, simply having a few extra minutes to settle can make a big difference to their experience — and can also allow us to perform a more relaxed and thorough examination.
As part of Happy Cat Month, we’re celebrating the little things we can do to make veterinary visits more cat-friendly. 💕
