Medicating your Cat

Helpful Hints

  • Always read the label instructions carefully.
  • Ask your veterinary surgeon if the medication can be given with food or must be given on an empty stomach.
  • Place the cat on a table with a non - slip surface.
  • When administering medication stay calm - your pet can sense if you are nervous making it more difficult to apply the treatment. 
  • Always praise and reward your pet with a treat.
