Preparing for a visit
The carrier: a familiar space, not an alarm
A calmer visit starts at home, with patience and choice.
Build familiarity gradually
- Keep the carrier in a familiar space with soft bedding, not just on appointment days.
- Let your cat approach at their own pace; do not force entry during training.
Travel gently
- Keep the carrier stable and avoid jolting it.
- Check ventilation and secure closure.
When fear is intense
- Contact the veterinary team beforehand; do not give calming medication without veterinary direction.
