💙 Do you know how to prepare your pet for a visit to the vets?💙

Here are some of our top tips:
1. Gather Essential Documents
If you’ve adopted or purchased your pet, bring any paperwork related to their health history, vaccinations, or treatments. This helps the vet understand their medical background.

2. Acclimatise Your Pet to the Carrier or Lead
For cats or small pets, introduce them to their carrier well in advance. Place treats, toys, or a blanket inside to create a positive association. For dogs, practice walking calmly on a lead and getting in and out of the car.

3. Consider Calming Medications
For particularly anxious pets, calming medications may be helpful before their visit. At Highgate Veterinary Clinic, we can prescribe mild sedatives or recommend natural calming aids to reduce stress. These options are safe and effective in helping nervous pets feel more at ease. Be sure to discuss this with us in advance if you think your pet might benefit from extra support.

4. Schedule at a Quiet Time
Choose an appointment time when the clinic is likely to be less busy. This helps reduce stress for both you and your pet.

5. Bring Comfort Items
A favourite toy, blanket, or even a piece of your clothing can provide reassurance. These familiar scents can help ease anxiety during the visit.

6. Re-assure your pet.
If you’re calm and confident, they’re more likely to feel at ease. However please re-assure your pet if they are showing signs of stress.

Poor Murphy the 7 month old yellow Labrador came in today for a dental exam under general anaesthetic as his owner suspected he had a sore tooth 🦷🦮

We found a very malformed molar which has obviously been causing him some pain and successfully removed it. He should be able to eat a lot more comfortably from now on.
Such a lovely boy! We hope he makes a speedy recovery 🩷

Preparing for New Years Eve 🎆

We wanted to share some tips with you all to help keep your pets feeling safe and calm.

🐱 Ensure cats are kept indoors
🐰Consider bringing small furries inside to block some of the noise
🐶 Dogs should be exercised before it’s dark and there is any chance of fireworks going off
🏠Keep blinds & curtains in the house closed where possible to block out some of the flashing lights
📺 Turn on the TV/radio to hide as much noise as possible
🤗 Reassure your dog or cat. You cannot reinforce fear so please cuddle or stroke your pets if they ask for it
🍃 Neutraceuticals can be used to help soothe pets and take the edge off anxieties

It is important that any prescription anxiety medication is given before the fireworks start, to give the best outcome. Please get in contact with us if your pet shows any of these signs when hearing fireworks (trembling/heavy panting/desperate attempt to escape) as we can help you.
