🚗 ROUKEN GLEN CAR PARK 🚙

Please ensure that all dogs are kept on leads in the car park.

We understand that many dogs are responsible and can be trusted to make their way into the park for their walk, but the car park is very busy and dogs running free off lead cannot be seen by cars leaving spaces.

We have witnessed many near misses and do not want any pet to be injured.

At RGV we will always try to do what we can to make your pets trip to the surgery as positive as possible.

Our feline patients often find the waiting room a stressful place, so to try and help with this you will now find our purple Feliway carrier covers in the cat waiting area. These will have been pre-sprayed with Feliway Spray and when used to cover the carrier, can help to calm your pet with the help of pheromones.

These blankets can be taken into your consultation and we would be grateful if you could return them to reception at the end of your visit so we can wash and prepare them for other patients.

Vet visits can be a stressful time for you and your pet. Here are some useful tips for preparation and the visit to the surgery with your cat. 🐈‍⬛

Heading to the vet doesn’t have to be stressful 😸 A little preparation goes a long way – here are some simple tips to help make the trip smoother for both you and your cat:

🕒 Pick the right appointment time
Book a quieter slot (mornings are often best) to avoid busy waiting rooms and help reduce stress. Plan your journey so you can travel calmly, without crowds or added disruptions.

👃 Use familiar scents
A favourite blanket or toy can make the carrier feel cosy and reassuring, especially when combined with calming pheromones.

📦 Prep the carrier early
Keep the carrier out at home so your cat can explore it in their own time – it’ll feel far less intimidating on vet day.

😌 Stay calm yourself
Cats are sensitive to our emotions – if you stay relaxed, your cat is more likely to stay relaxed too.

💜 On-the-go calming
Spray FELIWAY® Classic inside the carrier 15 minutes before use. If fasting isn’t needed, a Happy Snack can also help soothe and distract your cat.

🐾 Reward after the visit
End on a positive note with your cat’s favourite treat, a cuddle, or some playtime – so they’ll remember the experience more fondly.

Meet Leroy

Leroy was in the surgery to see Veterinary Nurse, Amanda. He came in for a routine appointment for his second vaccination to ensure that he is fully protected against the infectious diseases dogs can be exposed to.

He was such a polite boy and quite happy to come in for a visit. 🩵
