Did you know only half of all American cats are taken to the veterinarian by their caretakers on a regular basis? And it won’t be surprising if the statistics are similar in European countries.

For many cat lovers, a trip to the vet is a very stressful event: from the moment we ring the vet to make an appointment, to the night before, the day itself, and the trip returning home. Sometimes, the cat might still not be 100% a few days after the visit.

However, regular trips to vets are of utmost importance to all cats, particularly cats over the age of ten. And for cats who have chronic illnesses, regular vet visits simply are no discussion. 

This e-book is a step-by-step guide to help you from desensitising your cat to vet visits, to how to handle the day before, the day itself and the day after.
