Capitol Illini Veterinary Services in Springfield
Is Now Cat Friendly!!!!
We are very proud to announce that Capitol Illini Veterinary Services is now certified as cat friendly. Recently the AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners) created a new program called the Cat Friendly Practice Program. This program was created to make veterinary clinic visits less stressful to felines and their owners by instituting guidelines and standards that will improve the veterinary care and health of your furry friend.
The staff at Capitol Illini Veterinary Services is committed to learning new ways to make visits pleasant for your cat. We have provided a separate waiting area and an exam room for cats as well as instituted training for all our staff on low stress restraint and treatment of our feline patients. We are making a great effort to tailor care to each cat and provide individual treatment plans based on the understanding that every cat is unique and requires personalized care.
Cats are the most common household pet, yet they receive less veterinary care than dogs. We hope to provide you all the information you need to understand your cat's medical needs and explain the value in our recommendations for your cats' healthcare. Becoming cat friendly provides the framework for positive and comfortable visits for your cat. This ultimately contributes to the improved health and well being of all our feline patients.
Capitol Illini Veterinary Services saw the Cat Friendly Practice Program as a way to step back and take a look at what we could do to improve our care to our feline patients. We made several improvements and are committed to providing gold standard care for all of our patients.
