To make your cat feel at home in the veterinarian's office, bring the cat's favorite treats and toys with you.

When at home, practice regular care routines such as grooming, nail trimming and teeth brushing.

Pretend to do routine veterinary procedures with your cat.

  • You can do this by touching the cat's face, ears, feet and tail.
  • This should help your cat adjust to the veterinary hospital and any needed home care.
  • Make trips to the veterinary hospital for visits that don't involve examinations or procedures, such as checking the cat's weight. It sets your cat up for positive experiences at the veterinary hospital, and lets your cat be more comfortable with the clinic and staff.
