Your Cat's Resistance to Vet Visits

Some cats become anxious when it’s time to go to the vet. This can be caused by fear of the cat carrier or the car ride and even your behavior at the vet. Get your cat used to her carrier. Let your cat explore the carrier with the door open. Put in a few toys and treats and maybe a favorite blanket. Practice closing the door for a few seconds at a time. Once your cat is okay with the carrier, take your cat outside in the carrier and put it in the car. Follow your cat’s lead and when she is comfortable take a few short drives for practice. On the vet appointment day, encourage your cat into the carrier and just drive to the vet. Don’t make a big deal of it or try to comfort her otherwise you will reinforce her fear. Contact your San Jose, CA vet to learn more.
