CAT TRAVEL TIPS

  • Get cats used to carriers from kittenhood. If not then, now.

  • Leave the carrier in conspicuous location in your home. If it can't be there all the time, at least sit it out a few days before the appointment.

  • Feed treats/canned food or cat nip in carrier during the days before the visit.

  • Consider using Feliway, a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone, used by cats to mark their territory safe and secure.

  • Take your cat on short rides in the carrier (not to the Vet's office).
  • Travel on nearly empty stomach - to avoid car sickness.

  • Top opening carriers work best, but if your carrier only opens in the front, you can stand it on end and ease your cat down into it hind legs first.

  • Put a small blanket or article of clothing in with them.

  • If your cat gets nervous in the waiting room, let us know when you arrive and we will move you to an exam room right away.
