Mile High Veterinary Hospital is a Certified Feline Friendly Veterinary Practice

AURORA, Colo. - Dec. 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Mile High Veterinary Hospital is committed to providing the best care for the pets of Denver, Aurora, Parker, and surrounding communities. They are Gold-Certified as a Feline Friendly Practice by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP.)  The AAFP recognizes that cats are often susceptible to stress and discomfort when they leave their home environment, and the organization certifies veterinary hospitals which recognize this concern by making their practice as cat friendly as possible. Mile High Veterinary Hospital is one of only three veterinary facilities in the state of Colorado with a Gold Certification, and the only Gold-Certified veterinary practice in the greater Denver area.

According to the Bayer Veterinary Care Study half of America's cats are not receiving regular veterinary care.  The study showed that 58 percent of owners report that their cats hate going to a veterinary clinic and, for 38 percent of those families, just thinking about it is stressful.

As a Feline Friendly Practice, Mile High Veterinary Hospital provides a number of benefits for cats and cat owners. When clients visit Mile High Veterinary Hospital, they are greeted immediately by sectioned-off waiting areas where cats can be undisturbed. They provide a cat-only examination room where cats can feel comfortable knowing that no dog has ever entered the space. This room is equipped with a cat tree and pheromone products to help reduce stress. They also have a dedicated cat treatment ward where feline patients will never be disturbed by the sights, sounds, or smells of dogs. A Solatube in the cat ward provides natural light, also helping to minimize stress for feline patients.

Most important, the entire Mile High Veterinary Hospital staff is provided continuing education in feline medicine, learning how to properly handle cats. As a part of their commitment to excellence in cat care, the team at Mile High Veterinary Hospital also offers advice for safe and stress-free travel options, helping to make your cat comfortable from the moment they leave their home until they return.   If you would like more information about Mile High Veterinary Hospital please visit: http://www.milehighvet.com
