Essential Feline Health Care: Congenial,
Compassionate, and Convenient
Barriers to excellent feline health
care are barriers to feline quality of life. In order to start breaking
down these barriers, an essential component is that practitioners need to
develop and nurture trusting relationships with patients and caregivers. Other
ways that practitioners can begin to break down these barriers include understanding
the circumstances and complexities of the family life, accommodating for these
challenges, and utilizing creativity to create plans, programs, and strategies
for making lifelong healthcare possible.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

able to:
- Outline the barriers to feline health care as they exist today
- Propose strategies for overcoming barriers to the veterinary visit
- Understand how financial decisions are made to improve compliance
- Provide new and evolving resources for the most common barriers encountered
