For Scaredy Cats

• Does your cat hide when the carrier first comes out?
• Is the car ride filled with piteous meowing?
• Does your cat require a muzzle, towel, or special restraint in order to be examined?

We don't want your cat to be frightened or anxious anymore than you do.

Ask our receptionist for a "cat martini" to bring home prior to the vet visit.

The "martini" is safe, easy to administer, and mildly sedating. Its effect is more through creating more of a zen mood. Examination, bathing and clipping and sample collection are easily performed. The martini kit includes a gabapentin powder capsule, flavor packet, tongue depressor, and measuring spoon. The powder is mixed in canned food and fed to the cat 2 hours prior to the appointment. Your cat should be amply relaxed and comfortable for the car ride as well for the day's procedures.

• Does your dog need a muzzle during examination?
• Does your dog tremble in the vet waiting room?
• Is your dog afraid of strangers at home?
• Do loud noises initiate panic?

We want our patients to have a pleasant experience here without fear or anxiety.

We now carry Sileo^® oral gel for prevention of fear/panic.

Sileo is an oral gel originally made to prevent noise phobia episodes but it can be used for other forms of panic as well. It is non-sedating and requires 30-60 minutes to work. The gel tube is good for 2 weeks after it is opened.

You probably know by now that all cats and dogs must be spayed or neutered in the city of Los Angeles with a rather short list of exceptions. There are steep penalties for getting caught with an unsterilized pet but, on the more positive side, financial relief available if you have a pet that needs to be spayed or neutered.

Simply visit an Animal Services facility during business hours with proof of residence in the city of Los Angeles  and you will receive a voucher for $50 off surgery at the facility of your choice.

The nearest facility is 11361 West Pico Blvd, L.A. 90064

The city shelters welcome donations, volunteers, temporary foster parents for pets, and many other programs and services. Visit laanimalservices.com to see what is available.
