Your visit starts before

The single most impactful thing you can do for your Cat’s care happens at home, before the carrier door closes. This hub has everything you need, organized by visit type and concern.

Stressor Stacking — Why Preparation Matters

Each stressor stacks onto the last. A Cat who arrives overwhelmed has fewer emotional reserves for the exam. Preparation reduces the stack.

By the time your Cat arrives, their stress baseline is already set.

Cats accumulate stress rather than releasing it. Every stressor, the carrier, the car, unfamiliar sounds, your own anxiety, stacks onto the last. A Cat who arrives already overwhelmed has fewer emotional reserves for the exam itself, which affects how they behave, how accurate our readings are, and how they feel about coming back.

Our clinical protocols are designed to lower your Cat’s threat baseline from home to exam room. What you do in the hours before your visit is the first chapter of that protocol.

Written specifically to help you and your Cat.
