What Does "Cat Friendly Practice" Mean?

Cat Friendly Practice

Cats are a special type of animal. Anyone who has them knows this. They can seem finicky, temperamental, even downright crazy at times. To treat cats properly, you need to know exactly why they do what they do.

Taking a trip to the vet with your cat can be so stressful that some pet owners don't bother taking them in at all. Sadly, this is the biggest reason why cats don't receive the medical care that they need.

At Intermountain Pet Hospital, we know how to treat cats right. Our veterinarians and staff all undergo special training to understand and address the unique needs and characteristics of felines. You can see this training reflected in the design and practices of our hospital.

Cat Friendly Exam Rooms

We equip our cat exam rooms with pheromone diffusers, which release a substance similar to the facial pheromones that cats rub on the people they trust and love. This allows them to relax when they enter the room and allows us to treat them easier. We also give cats five minutes alone in our exam rooms, which lets them get even more comfortable and own the room.

Veterinary Care for Cats

Why your cat doesnt use the litter box anymoreWhen dogs are sick or injured, you can usually tell. With cats, it's trickier—they're much better at hiding symptoms than dogs tend to be. This makes it even more important to bring your kitties in for an exam and blood work each year; this could be the only way to tell if they have a condition that requires treatment.

Comfortable Boarding for Your Cats

Cats can find it stressful to be away from their familiar surroundings. Having dogs around can make that stress worse. That's why Intermountain Pet Hospital maintains a boarding wing exclusively for cats. We've installed pheromone diffusers in this area as well, which helps make your kitties even more comfortable while they're staying with us. In addition, we have special medical boarding for cats who need regular medication or closer observation.

Bringing Your Cat to Intermountain Pet Hospital
