THE TRIALS OF TABLETTING

Cats frequently outwit us but they take it to the next level when it comes to tablet avoidance. We know we have the easy job of prescribing your cat’s medication — you have the hard job of actually giving it. Ask your vet or nurse to show you how to correctly give your cat a tablet. If you’re still finding more tablets stuck to your carpet than are going inside your cat, tell us.

Many medications come in a variety of formulations. Sometimes it’s trial and error to find the most suitable for your cat. Hyperthyroidism medications, for example, come in tablets, liquid, or dietary forms. We’re happy to prescribe a different medication if it means your cat regularly receives their treatment.
