Call it paw-sitive therapy 🐾💆‍♀️. Sometimes all you need is fresh sea air, wagging tails, and a pet by your side.

At CapeCross, we come back to these 5 basics every day in consults: Nutrition, exercise, health checks, mental play, and of course — love 💛🐾. Each one looks different for pets, but together they’re the secret to those shiny coats and wagging tails.

🐾 Home sweet home for Luigi! 🐾
This brave boy was treated for an intussusception and is now heading home — with a Hill’s Cat get-well-soon hamper to help him on the road to recovery 😃🌼.

Healing, comfort, and the best nutrition — because every patient deserves extra love after a tough hospital stay. 💛

I’m Carina, and I’ve patched up more than a few travel-related emergencies 🐾🚗. That’s why I insist CapeCross families follow this checklist & use these products — it keeps tails wagging safely on every trip.

1️⃣ Secure Carrier or Harness 🦮
Pets should never ride loose in cars.
👉 Use a crash-tested harness or carrier.

2️⃣ Updated ID Tags & Microchip 🪪
In case of unexpected stops or escapes.
👉 Double-check microchip details with us at CapeCross.

3️⃣ Fresh Water & Bowl 💧
Dehydration is one of the most common travel emergencies.
👉 Pack a portable water bowl.

4️⃣ Pet First Aid Kit 🚑
Bandages, antiseptic, tweezers for ticks, and your vet’s number.
👉 Ask CapeCross to help stock your kit.

5️⃣ Comfort Items 🧸
Blanket or toy to reduce stress and keep pets calm.
👉 Familiar scents work wonders on anxious travelers.

6️⃣ Parasite Prevention 🦟
Travelling = new environments + new risks.
👉 Make sure your Bravecto® or tick/flea treatment is up to date before you leave.

7️⃣ Food & Treats 🍖
Sudden diet changes = tummy upsets.
👉 Always travel with your pet’s regular food.

Safe travels = happy tails 🐾💛. Pop into CapeCross before your next road trip — we’ll check vaccines, parasite protection, and help you pack the right travel kit.
