Why Your Cat Needs a Special Medication Place

from Know Your Pet (and Vet)! Hosted by Dr. Sally J. Foote

Welcome to Know Your Pet (and Vet)! In this episode I share practical steps on how to create a special, safe place to give your cat medication. Having a special and safe medication spot makes the whole process much less stressful on both the pet parent and cat. I also discuss why this is important, and share a nice story at the end to show you how this works (and to show vet staff how to explain to pet parents on how to do this). If you have any experiences with making a medication spot for your cat at home, tell me your story in Substack or Spotify comment section, or email me at [email protected] Please rate and review to tell me what you think of the show!
