*** WEIGHT CLINIC ***

Truffle has been attending Weight Clinics since February 2024 with our nursing team and has now achieved her ideal weight. Weight Clinics are held by our nursing team where the nurse will discuss feeding, nutrition and making a diet plan to allow your four legged friends to be at an ideal weight.

There are numerous health risks associated with overweight cats and dogs including : joint issues, fatty organs, extra risks for surgery and other health conditions.

Monitoring your pet’s weight is essential which is why their weight is checked at every appointment to ensure that medication is prescribed and administered correctly. Clients are welcome to come into the surgery to weigh their pets at their convenience.

Weight Clinics are with the nurses every two or four weeks and are free. During this appointment we will track and monitor your pet’s weight and help them along the journey to achieve their ideal weight.

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE .....
🐶New Separate Dog and Cat Friendly Waiting Areas🐈

We're always looking to improve our patient's experience with us. We understand that for some owners and their pets, it can be a challenging and stressful time.

Did you know that cats feel safer up off the floor? Therefore, we have now provided a purpose built unit so you can place your cat carrier onto one of the shelves; this creates a visual barrier to give your cat an extra sense of security.

We have also provided blankets and calming sprays which can be used to cover your carrier to make them feel a little safer during their time here in the practice.

Pet Remedy is a valerian based calming product that can be sprayed around the carrier or directly onto the blankets provided.

Here's Nic's cat, Inky demonstrating how to use our new cat friendly shelving.

For more tips on travelling and visiting the practice with your cat please visit www.icatcare.org
