Tips for Cat Owners
1. Clipping cat's nails - Save your wallpaper and furniture, your clothes and even your skin by clipping your cats nails every 3-4 weeks. 80% of cats will allow nail clipping - all you need are the right cat claw nail clippers* and a brief demonstration by the vet.
2. The easiest flea prevention is with Program injection - Just 1 injection every 6 months - can be given at the same time as your cats's vaccination. It works better than most flea control because you have nothing to do! so you have nothing to forget!!
3. Using a cat litter tray? Feed Science Plan and the amount of faeces is reduced to less than half that of most foods. You'll use less litter, have less work to do, and there'll be much less smell.
4. Grooming?   Use a Zoom Groom*
The massage brush Zoom Groom has soft rubber fingers that remove dead hair and dirt from your cat's fur. Cats love it as it provides a gentle massage at the same time. Reduces hairballs and stimulates skin for a healthy coat.
5. How to get rid of smells.
Use Pet Fresh spray* on your pet, or Odour Eliminator* on floors and furnishings.
6. Problems giving a cat a tablet?
Ask for a demonstration next time your at the surgery. Meanwhile here's a hot time passed on to is last week. Give your cat a tablet when he's hungry. Place some very tasty food right in front of him but hold him back from it. This will make him salivate and get him ready for swallowing. Pop the tablet into the back of his throat then let him at the food.
       Here's how to get the tablet in >>>>
