Positive Carrier Experience

Help your feline friend feel at ease when visiting the vet by creating positive experiences with their carrier. Place a cosy blanket inside for them to snuggle up in, spray synthetic feline pheromones before travel, cover the carrier with a familiar-smelling towel, provide tasty treats or toys, and support the carrier from underneath for stability during movement.

Medication When Travelling?

For some cats, travelling to the vet can be extremely stressful due to past negative experiences or their individual temperament. Giving your cat medication prescribed by your veterinarian, like Gabapentin, can help reduce anxiety and promote calmness during travel and at the clinic. Consult your vet if your cat remains anxious. Trial the medication before the appointment to ensure effectiveness and safety.

Travelling To The Practice

Travelling to the veterinary clinic can be unsettling for your cat due to motion and new stimuli. To help alleviate their anxiety, cover the carrier with a blanket, secure it in the car’s footwell, use a buggy or trolley for stability, place the carrier on plastic in case of accidents, ensure proper ventilation, and never open the carrier during transport. Remember to speak in a calm voice and consult your veterinary team if any accidents occur during the journey.

Returning Home

When cats return home they may appear and smell different, leading to potential tension with other cats. It is important to reintroduce them carefully by providing a separate room with necessary amenities, allowing time for familiar scents to re-establish, and gradually allowing supervised contact. Monitoring their interactions and utilising synthetic feline pheromones can aid in a smooth transition back home.
