Stress-Free Cat Appointments

As most feline parents know, even the thought of a visit to the vet with their furry feline friends can be daunting. The inevitable fight to get them in the carrier prevents them from making the visit at all.

With this program, our goal at Abbotsford Animal Hospital is to create more of a stress-free environment for cats and to implement ways of making cat visits more comfortable for both our feline patients and the owners.

Designated Cat Exam Rooms

Fresh towels can be placed on the exam tables, lightly sprayed with Feliway, for use in minimizing slippery surfaces. We have two designated exam rooms just for our feline friends. These exam rooms are quieter, with less "doggy traffic", and also come with a Feliway pheromone plug-in diffuser.

​Feliway helps comfort your cat by mimicking natural feline pheromones. Feliway can be used to make a new place or situation "feel" more familiar and safe for cats. This is one important tool Abbotsford Animal Hospital is implementing to help create a stress-free environment for our feline friends.

Separate Digital Scale for Cats

These cat exam rooms also have a digital cat scale to use so weighing your furry friend doesn’t have to be so scary for them. They are no longer in the high traffic reception area to get on a scale that is on the ground.

​With these steps to create a stress-free appointment, we hope to encourage return visits for our cat friends on a more regular basis. This will enable us to catch issues earlier, implement preventative measures and make sure that we provide the most optimum care possible.
