New website for cat owners

Dechra Veterinary Products has launched a new website for cat owners on the subject of hyperthyroidism.

The website, www.hyperthyroidcat.co.uk, is an online version of the company's client booklets on the subject and, since its launch, has averaged 500 unique visitors a month. With pages on diagnosis, treatment and even tips on how to give a pill to a cat, owners now have a place to go for more information and advice on the disease.

Matthew Olsen, the firm's product manager says: "This website is perfect for helping owners better understand and manage hyperthyroidism in their cat. It's also useful for practices as they now have somewhere to refer owners to for more information about the diagnosis and management of this complex hormonal disease."

Cards with the new website address are available for practices to hand to clients, along with waiting room posters that will serve as a further reminder of the new site.

"The website allows clients to browse the site in the comfort of their own home and is also ideal for practices with limited storage space for client information materials," Dr Olsen adds.

Practices that have their own websites are encouraged to link directly to www.hyperthyroidcat.co.uk and they can order posters and handout cards by contacting 01743 441632 or info@dechra-uk.com.
