Litter box changes
This visit is for cats. For dogs, the closest is Sick visit.
30 min$165 to $420Cat wardDr. Maren or Dr. Ellis
Thirty minutes in the cat ward. Most litter box changes have a medical side, a box side, or both, so we look at both: an exam and a urine test, then questions about where the boxes are, how many, how deep, and what litter.
What happens
- Bring a fresh urine sample if you can. We lend you non-absorbent litter.
- An exam and a urine test.
- We ask about the box itself: where, how many, how deep, what litter.
- A plan that covers the medical side and the box.

Questions
Is my cat doing this to punish me?
No. Cats do not soil to make a point. It is usually discomfort, a box they dislike, or stress, and each has a fix.
How many boxes do I need?
One per cat plus one, in different rooms, away from food and noisy machines, with at least one low side for older cats.
