Taking cats to veterinarians in Kamloops is no easy feat. You might be met with resistance upon entering the premises of the veterinary clinic. A stressed-out cat is difficult to check up, so be sure to try the following ways to make these visits to Kamloops veterinarians less stressful:
-
Get a comfortable carrier
If you don’t have a carrier for your cat yet, now is the best time to get one. A carrier will enable you to take your pet anywhere without worrying that your pet will bolt on you. You can get the top-loading ones to make them easier to put in the carrier.
You can try getting your cat used to being in a carrier. Before the first visit to the vet, take your cat on small walks outside the house in the carrier.
-
Get your cat used to being handled
A lot of the stress comes from being handled by other people. Most cats don’t like being handled. You can try getting grooming services and check-ups at home just to get your cat used to being handled.
-
Get your cat used to being inside a moving vehicle
Another cause of stress is being inside a vehicle. Many cats don’t like being in moving vehicles and might associate this negative experience with going to the vet.
Try taking your cat in the carrier and go for short drives around the neighborhood. That will help the cat get used to it.
Choose a good vet clinic that knows how to handle agitated cats. The Cat Hospital of Kamloops will make sure that your pet is in good hands.
