Many cats don't go to the vet as often as they should. Kitties tend to be homebodies, and many of them absolutely hate going for car rides. However, this is one area where the inconvenience is well worth it. Proper veterinary care is very important!
To make the journey a little easier on your feline pal, make sure that she has a comfy carrier. Add bedding and soft toys to make it more appealing. You can also crack the window a bit, so your pet is always getting fresh air. Turning the radio on softly may also help soothe a nervous cat … or at least, give her something to meow along to. On the drive over to the animal clinic, stick to the speed limit and avoid sharp turns and sudden stops and starts.
If your cat is extremely nervous, she may benefit from cat-calming products or even medication. But at the end of the day, even if your kitty protests all the way to the vet’s and back, don't feel too bad. Your pet will be much healthier—and therefore happier—if she visits hervets Smyrna, GA regularly.
