Cats can suffer from hypertension, or high blood pressure, just like we can. Having high blood pressure may be primary (hypertension is the problem) or secondary (hypertension is a side effect of another problem).

This is a simple, non invasive, test which is quick to carry out. Most cats tolerate it very well. It allows the nurses to monitor your cat and refer them to a veterinary surgeon for further investigations if any problems are found.
