How Feliway Helps Cats Feel Safe at Our Fear Free Certified Clinic

At Avoca Drive Animal Hospital, we believe that visiting the vet should be a positive experience for pets and their owners. As a Fear Free Certified clinic, we go above and beyond to make every visit stress-free. For our feline friends, Feliway plays a key role in ensuring their comfort and well-being.

How Feliway Works

Feliway is a synthetic version of the pheromones cats naturally release when they feel secure. These pheromones signal safety and calmness, helping reduce anxiety in unfamiliar environments like the vet.

In our clinic, we use Feliway in multiple ways:

• Diffusers: Placed in exam rooms to create a relaxing environment.
• Spray: Applied to carriers or bedding before visits.
• Wipes: Used on surfaces to reduce stress during procedures.

Success Story: Sammy’s Relaxing Visit

Sammy, a shy rescue cat with a big personality, used to struggle with vet visits. His owner was nervous about his check-up, fearing it might cause unnecessary stress.

We suggested using Feliway Spray on Sammy’s carrier before leaving home, and upon arrival, Sammy was greeted by our Feliway-infused consultation room. The difference was remarkable—Sammy remained calm throughout his appointment, and his owner was thrilled with how smoothly everything went.

Our Fear-Free Commitment

Using Feliway is just one way we make veterinary care less stressful for pets. Located on the border of Erina and Greenpoint, our clinic is proud to serve families and their pets across both areas.

Our additional services, including anxiety management, puppy school, and fear-free handling techniques, ensure every pet feels cared for and safe. Let us help your furry friend enjoy a stress-free vet visit.
