How to Give Your Cat an Injection

Tool(s) Used in Development: Canva

Challenges: Virginia Cat Clinic, a veterinary practice, noticed an increase in clients booking injection appointments for the management of ongoing medical conditions. It is difficult to make time for these appointments in the schedule, as the clinic prioritizes more urgent appointments for emergencies and check-ups.

Solutions: The clinic requested a handout describing how to give a cat an injection. The clinic wanted a brief reference sheet that could be easily printed and sent home with cat owners or shared with them electronically. This step-by-step job aid was created for the clinic to distribute to its clients. It describes how to safely and correctly administer shots at home.

Results: The intended outcome is for the clinic to provide cat owners with the skills to administer shots on their own and reduce the number of appointments being made solely for injections.
