FELINE-FOCUSED VETERINARY CARE

Cat Friendly Practice® - Gold

Veterinary visits can be stressful for cats, from getting into the carrier to arriving somewhere filled with unfamiliar people, sounds, smells, and experiences. Burloak has been a Gold Cat Friendly Practice since 2015, recognizing the extra steps we take to understand cats’ unique needs and make their veterinary experience more comfortable.

CARE DESIGNED WITH CATS IN MIND

What Makes a Cat Friendly Practice Different?

Cats have distinct behavioural, environmental, and medical needs. Cat Friendly techniques are intended to reduce the stress associated with veterinary visits while supporting the quality of care they receive.

A Cat Only Exam Room


Burloak provides a dedicated Cat Only Exam Room where you and your cat can settle in for their appointment.

Understanding Feline Behaviour


Our veterinary team has knowledge and resources to better understand cats’ distinct needs and behaviours.

Gentle, Empathetic Handling

We consider how cats are approached and handled, with the goal of making veterinary visits more cat friendly.

Facilities Designed With Cats in Mind


Gold distinction isn’t only about handling. 
Burloak has met Cat Friendly facility standards 
as well as standards for the care of cats who are hospitalized.
