Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic

We are delighted to have been awarded the ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine) Cat Friendly Clinic Gold standard, the highest rating available.
The ISFM is an International Charity that setup their Cat Friendly Clinic programme to help address the unique needs of our pet cats and helps us as a practice to make your pets visit less stressful.
Mochdre Vets is Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic!
Gone are the days when it was acceptable in veterinary medicine to treat a cat like a small dog. As a profession we know many diseases in cats that can be related to stress so designed our practice to minimise the stress to our cat clients as much as possible. In 2019 we were awarded Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic by the ISFM (International Society of Feline Medicine), the highest standard available, this is unique to us in the area and we are only the second practice in North Wales to receive it.
