Health Care
Hazelhurst Cattery can now offer Microchipping, worming, flea treatment and nail clipping services.
Nail Clipping
Cats and dogs claws grow continually just like peoples nails. Pets that walk on hard surfaces wear them down naturally, but older pets and indoor cats especially need to have their claws trimmed regularly, usually about every 2 - 3 months.
Worming
Pets can also become infected with a wide range of parasitic worms, many of which can be passed to humans, with rare, but potentially serious health consequences. Pets can also carry the Toxocara worm which is a health risk especially to children. All cats and dogs should be treated with a good wormer every 3 - 6 months to keep them free of the various types of worms. We supply and use Panacur.
Flea Treatment
Fleas are one of the most common parasites caught by pets. It's thought that every cat and dog will suffer an infestation at some point in their lives. Fleas are not just an inconvenience. If the infestation is severe enough, it can cause anaemia or even kill a small puppy or kitten. If you notice your pet scratching or itching you should groom with a fine toothed comb with the pet on a white surface where you may see the black specks appear, if so, it is necessary to have your animal treated, it should have its bedding thoroughly washed and treated with insecticide, and a treatment applied to the pet. An appropriate treatment should be used every 1 - 3 months. We supply and use Frontline.
We can administer some or all of these services while your cat is staying with us.
