Why are vet visits and travelling so stressful for cats? ๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿพ

Cats love control, routine, and familiar smells so a trip to the vet can feel overwhelming.

New places, strange animals, car rides, handling, and unfamiliar smells can all trigger stress (especially if theyโ€™ve had a bad experience before).

๐Ÿ˜ฟ Common stress triggers include:
โ€ข Pain or feeling unwell
โ€ข Travel and car rides
โ€ข Being confined or restrained
โ€ข Changes to routine
โ€ข Unfamiliar sights, sounds, smells, and handling

๐Ÿ’ก How to make vet visits easier:
โ€ข Always use a sturdy, well-sized carrier (top-opening is best!) Cat backpacks often highten stress levels due to lack of ventilation, space and too much visibility! ๐ŸŽ’
โ€ข Cover the carrier with a towel to help your cat feel safe
โ€ข Secure the carrier in the car and drive smoothly
โ€ข Keep noise low and stay calmโ€”your cat takes cues from you
โ€ข Carry the carrier carefully and avoid rushing at the clinic

A little preparation goes a long way in making vet visits calmer for both you and your cat ๐Ÿฑ- Handled with love, every step of the way! ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŽ†Fireworks and Fear: Petrified Pets ๐ŸŽ†

New Year and preparing for fireworks at midnight ๐ŸŽ‰

Although spectacular to watch they have very real implications for the welfare of our wildlife, livestock and pet animals.

โฌ‡๏ธHere is some advice this firework season. Stay tuned for more individual advice on each section in the coming weeks.

๐ŸฑCats
โœ…Check microchip details are up to date
โœ…Try and keep them inside after dark. We understand this can be difficult. You may need to provide more play and calming aids to help them with a change in routine
โœ…Close all doors and windows to prevent them bolting
โœ…Shut curtains to dim the noise and flashes
โœ… Give them a safe hiding place or don't disturb them if they find their own safe place to settle. Cats often like to be up high

๐ŸถDogs
โœ…Check microchip details are up to date
โœ…Walk before dark. If toileting outside go out with them on a leash to avoid them bolting if a firework goes off unexpectedly
โœ…Use calming aids
โœ…Give them as safe place to stay that is covered, dark and quiet. Do not lock them in here.
โœ…Watch that all doors are closed to avoid escape
โœ…You can comfort your pet, just ensure you stay safe if they are extremely agitated

๐ŸญSmall Furries
โœ…You may need to bring any animals inside if it doesn't cause them too much stress
โœ…They may require more bedding
โœ…Cover accomodation to prevent the lights from upsetting them
โœ…Move indoor enclosures away from windows to dull the noise and light

๐ŸดHorses
โœ…Check local fire displays and prepare
โœ…Keep to a routine
โœ…Check the field or Stable is free from hazards
โœ…Give your vet notice if you require medication for your horses anxiety
โœ…Check on them regularly or stay with them if they are known to spook so you can react quickly if they become upset

๐ŸฎLivestock
โœ…Tell local farmers if you intend to have a Firework display and try to avoid the loud fireworks. Do not set fireworks off around fields containing livestock.

๐Ÿฆ” Wildlife
โœ…Check bonfires before lighting for any wildlife such as rodents or hedgehogs
โœ…Avoid setting fireworks off near known wildlife areas like nature reserves

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ How your vet can help
โœ…If your animals experiences distress then there are medications we can prescribe, this should have been sorted a while ago given that you need it today!
โœ…You will likely need a prescription check even if you have it yearly
โœ…Veterinary professionals are also well placed to give you individual advice on how to help your pets

๐ŸŽ†If you plan to have a firework display:

โžก๏ธPlease tell all your neighbours in advance that you plan it.
This will ensure they have had time to adequately prepare their animals for the event.
If possible please consider using alternative options such as silent or low noise fireworks if you know you are surrounded by families with cats, dogs, other pets or if you live by a farm or livery yard.

โžก๏ธPlease tell owners how long the display will go on for and don't go beyond that so they know when it is safe to let their pets out for toileting or grazing.

โžก๏ธ Please do not release sky lanterns
