We get asked many a time here at Castle “how am I going to get that tablet into my cat?” Goose may be an exception to the rule for cats taking medication but it’s always worth a try! Our experienced veterinary nurses are always on hand to give advise and guidance on getting that all important medication on board. Thank you Goose for the fab demo 🩶🐾
