Your cat loves you and wants to be able to enjoy every minute of the time you spend together. However, sometimes you will need to do things she may not entirely be comfortable with, like going to the vet for a check-up. How can you help her stay calm here?

Your pet needs to be able to relax in situations like this and you can help her do this. Talk to her throughout the ride there as well as the appointment itself whenever you can. This will help soothe her and let her know that you are nearby when she may not be able to see you. Keep a positive attitude as well. You can also take action before her visit by making a point to play with her so she is too tired to be nervously roaming around her carrier and is more likely to relax. For more information, please contact your local North Suffolk, VA veterinarian.
