10. Knowledge Is Power!
“Finally, one of the best things you can do to ensure a healthy and happy cat is to educate yourself on signs and symptoms of ailments in cats. Cats are experts at hiding their discomfort, so learning about their behaviour, health requirements and feline first aid gives you the tools required to respond effectively in many situations,”says Vet Sophie Bell.
– Prevention is key: Spotting signs of discomfort in cats early and knowing how to respond can help reduce the need for vet interventions.
– Feline First Aid: Knowing how to perform crucial and sometimes life-saving feline first aid can be invaluable in emergency situations, helping to stabilise your cat’s condition and provide immediate care until professional veterinary assistance is available.
– Take a Feline health, well-being & First Aid course online. There are several providers of these courses, however Petpals highly recommend Dr Sophie Bells CPD approved, fun and interactive courses which are designed for pet professionals and pet owners alike!
