Here at Moor Cottage Vets\u00a0 in Bracknell it\u2019s important to us to demonstrate our commitment to the animals you entrust into our care. Working with the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), we looked at how we could make Moor Cottage Vets the best it could possibly be for cats, to ensure their visits were as stress free as possible for pets and for owners.<\/p>\n
Cats, by their nature, are more sensitive to changes in their environment, which means that vet visits can be challenging from the off. We know through years of experience that even getting your cat to the vets is difficult, so we want to make sure that, when they\u2019re here, their visit is as calming as possible.
\nIn order to achieve our Silver Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation, we were assessed by the ISFM across the board \u2013 from vets through to receptionists.<\/p>\n
We have demonstrated that we: Silver<\/strong> We have 2 in-house cat advocates in our Bracknell practice \u2013 vet Roberta Duncan, and vet nurse Caroline Brown \u2013 who are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have, and to provide information and advice on caring for your cat.<\/p>\n Our facilities include spacious hospitalisation wards, and teeth cleaning\/dental procedure equipment. We have a separate waiting area for cats, so they don\u2019t have to come into contact with other animals.<\/p>\n If you would like to know more about Cat Friendly Clinics and the criteria involved, please visit https:\/\/catfriendlyclinic.org\/cat-owners\/what-you-should-be-looking-for\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n What is a cat friendly clinic?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Bringing your cat to the clinic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Taking your cat home from the clinic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
