🐈Tips for a Cat’s Fear-Free Vet Visit🐈

🐾 Carrier: We recommend a carrier that opens from the top. Make the carrier a safe haven for your cat. Leave it out and open, give treats in cage, put a favourite blanket, towel, or toy inside the carrier to make it cosier.
🐾 Help familiarize your cat to the sounds and motion of the car by taking your cat for short trips.
🐾 Spray your cat’s carrier with the synthetic pheromone, Feliway.
🐾 If your cat is a foodie, use a favourite snack to attract her into the carrier, .
🐾 If your cat is very stressed, discuss medication such as Gabapentin with your veterinarian. Gabapentin can make the trip less stressful for everyone.
🐾 In an emergency situation, use the “burrito” trick. Snuggly wrap your cat in a blanket or towel with just their head out

Please do not hesitate to ring us for any hepful advise and tips @ 09 250 0555 (Papatoetoe)

👋🐾✨Say a Big Hello to Jess!👋🐾✨
Jess graduated at the end of 2024 from Vet Nurse Plus. She joined Pet Vets as a full time veterinary nurse early this year. She spent last few years at Pet Vets for practical training for her course.

🧣❄️Winter Pet Care Tips 🧣❄️
Brrr! As the temperatures drop, don’t forget our furry friends feel the cold too!

❄️Warm Bedding – Make sure your pet’s bed is off the cold floor and away from drafts.

❄️Keep Pets Toasty—not Toasted: Pet's curosity and warmth seeking instincts can lead to the risk of serious scalds from hot drinks, hot water bottles and electric blankets.

❄️Arthritis Alert – Cold weather can worsen joint pain. Book a check-up if your senior pet seems stiff or slow.

❄️Coats for Walks – Short-haired or senior dogs benefit from a warm jacket during chilly walks.

❄️Watch the Weight – Pets may be less active in winter. Keep an eye on treats and portion sizes!

🐾🐕Puppy socialisation is very important to set your pups for an anxiety free life ahead. Anxiety and agression are one of the common reasons why dogs are euthanased.
Use the suggestions below to start your puppy’s journey towards becoming a happy, confident, well-adjusted dog!🐾🐕
At Pet Vets, we run puppy pre-school, which is one of the safest way to socialise your pups and learn how you can minimise issues as biting, jumping, toilet training, walking and stay commands. For more info and register your interest, see our website: https://petvets.nz/behaviour.html
