Southglen Veterinary Hospital Brings Innovative Feline Stress Reduction Treatments to Winnipeg

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Jan. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Southglen Veterinary Hospital has announced the availability of innovative treatments to reduce stress reactions in cats. Feline pets tend to be highly sensitive to stress, especially during holidays or any time there is transition or change. Dr. M. Sra and the staff at Southglen Veterinary Hospital are committed to assisting clients in managing behavioral problems in their feline friends.

As a general rule, cats tend to be more prone to stress than other domestic animals like dogs. The signs of stress in cats often manifest at times of the year when routines change such as during the holidays. Stress reactions in cats can take the form of urinary issues, undesirable behavior and other health problems. Dr. M. Sra of Southglen Veterinary Hospital explains, “Cats tend to love routine and exhibit more signs of stress the moment anything challenges their routine. These health effects and behavioral changes can in turn add stress to a family household. We offer some of the top solutions for reducing feline stress in non-invasive ways.”

Over the years, veterinary medicine has developed a number of products to assist cats and their owners in navigating through stressful times with as little disruption as possible. The Southglen Veterinary Hospital offers Feliway products such as pheremone spray, which is clinically proven to eliminate or reduce a range of behavioral issues in cats triggered by stress.

Feliway wipes can assist as-needed when stress and stress reactions flare up unexpectedly around the home. For a more comprehensive solution, the Comfort Zone Feliway wall diffuser offers a continuous calming and comforting effect for cats in a home environment. This can make all the difference during a time of transition or change.

Nutriceuticals for cats are another effective method of treating environmental stress in cats from the inside out. Nutriceuticals are nutritional supplements or dietary supplements that are sometimes referred to as medicinal foods or functional foods. The term “nutriceuticals” was coined by Dr. Stephen DeFelice, chairman and founder of the Foundation of Innovation in Medicine in 1989. The word refers to a suite of food products with properties that provide health or medical benefits including the treatment and prevention of illness.

While nutriceuticals products were originally made for humans, healing foods and supplements are now also available for pets as well. In the case of cats who are prone to stress, augmenting their healing protocol with nutraceuticals can help to manage stress reactions in a holistic manner. Since nutraceuticals contain herbal, raw and botanical components, they are safer and more natural for pets than medications.

The Southglen Veterinary Hospital is located at V-730 St. Anne's Road in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Cat owners interested in learning more about stress reduction solutions for cats can call (204) 452-0077 or visit the Southglen Veterinary Hospital website.
