Cats

Cats hide illness by instinct: by the time an owner notices something, it's often been going on for weeks.

The patient who hides pain until they can't anymore.

The species

How we care for this patient

We care for cats with handling designed for them: a waiting area separate from the dogs, positive-reinforcement handling and unhurried visits. Half the success of a feline visit is a patient who doesn't arrive terrified.

We focus on what affects them most and gets caught latest: kidney disease, urinary problems, hyperthyroidism and dental disease. For cats over seven, we recommend screening bloodwork even if they seem perfectly healthy.

We also guide owners on things that aren't medical but change everything: how many litter boxes, where they go, what kind of litter and how to enrich their environment. Many urinary problems start there.
