Despite the fact that cats need just as much preventive health care as dogs, fewer cat owners take their cats to the veterinarian. According to the American Association of Feline Practitioners, almost twice as many cats than dogs never visit a veterinarian, 58% of cat owners report their cat hates going to the vet, and 38% of cat owners report they get stressed just thinking about bringing their cat to the vet. 

Loving Paws Pet Clinic seeks to create a low stress environment for cats and their owners. A large part of our approach is to utilize minimal restraint handling techniques that minimize stress for all animals, especially for cats.
