"DR IAN ROSS ANSWERS SOME OF THE MORE COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS"

Will You See My Dog?

No. Sorry. No dogs allowed. As the only cats-only clinic in the South Island we get this one a lot. We feel that when cats are stressed or unwell they prefer to be in a dog-free environment. Our patients are very strict on this issue. Every other vet clinic in the Christchurch area will see your dog. 

What Do I Do In An Emergency With My Cat? 

Call us immediately. During regular business hours we can give you instructions. Outside of regular business hours our vets are available to you 24/7 and will meet you at the clinic within minutes if needed. Not sure if it's an emergency? Call us anyway - we're here to help. You may just need some advice. 

Do You Do House Calls?

We don’t usually do house calls as we are very limited in what we can do without equipment and nurses available. However in certain situations we can arrange a vet visit for registered clients. Call us and we can discuss options.

Which Vaccinations Does My Cat Need?

Each cat is unique in his/her lifestyle. This is taken into consideration when we choose a vaccine strategy for your cat. Our goal is to neither over-vaccinate nor under-vaccinate. And the lifestyle of each cat may differ from year to year. One vaccine strategy does not fit all cats. This also applies to deworming and flea prevention. We want to find the best preventative care plan for your cat. More isn't always better. And less can be risky.
