We understand that having to bring your cat to visit can be a source of stress, which is why we are proud to have obtained the “Cat Friendly Clinic” label awarded by the ISFM.
As all of our cat owners know, felines are not little dogs. They have very specific needs. This is why we have increased our efforts to obtain the “Cat Friendly Clinic” label awarded by the ISFM, in order to assure our customers that all members of our team understand cats and their needs.

What has changed at the clinic?
Our waiting room has been modified to be divided into two: one side for dogs and one side for cats.
Away from dogs, your cat will be more at ease. In addition, you can place it high on a small table and place a towel on the grid of your transport crate to give it soothing privacy. A Feliway® pheromone diffuser outlet is also connected in the cat waiting room.
