- Ask for an itemised estimate and discuss treatment options and costs upfront to avoid bill surprises.
- Confirm how and when the team will follow up after tests or procedures and ensure your preferred contact details are correct.
- If you need boarding for your cat, consider their indoor cattery (Camp Kitty) and reserve early during holiday periods.
