Your cat will be feline better in no time
Feline Better is a mobile veterinary medical service specialising in Feline Medicine.
As a specialist cat vet my aim is to work alongside the client’s primary vet, bringing specialist services in feline medicine to compliment what is achieved in daily general practice. This way, we can maximise the depth of healthcare that can be offered within the GP’s surgery. Cases may be challenging medical mysteries, or routine ones requiring medical procedures such as gastroduodenoscopy or rhinoscopy. Clients no longer have to make long, stressful journeys to receive specialist input to diagnose and manage their cat’s condition.
With a team approach, including ongoing specialist support and advice, the patient’s short and long term care is optimised.
Vet Referrals
I believe that a visiting specialist service has much to offer general practitioners, their clients and their patients, especially in the field of feline medicine where there may be understandable reluctance to travel long distances with a distressed or unwell cat.
Cat owners
While General Practice Vets are very knowledgeable on a wide range of animal ailments sometimes they want to call on a specialist in feline medicine to help them and the cat owner make the right choices. That’s where Feline Better can help.
