This allows us to ensure the calmest and most <strong>low-stress stay<\/strong> possible. Patients with infectious diseases are, of course, <strong>housed separately<\/strong> to ensure the highest hygiene standards and maximum safety.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1055\">Throughout the entire stay, your pet will receive <strong>close monitoring<\/strong> from our veterinarians and veterinary nurses. Vital parameters, pain management, and medication are <strong>continuously monitored<\/strong> and adjusted individually. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1196\">Our goal is to provide your pet with the best possible medical care while also offering as much <strong>rest and safety as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Frequently asked questions about inpatient admission<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How will my pet be housed during its stay?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"310\" data-end=\"520\">Your pet will be housed in its own spacious kennel that matches its size and individual needs. If medically necessary, warming or oxygen kennels are available. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Will my pet be cared for and monitored regularly?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"837\">Yes. Our inpatients are continuously cared for by veterinarians and veterinary nurses. Depending on the condition, close monitoring is provided and medication, pain therapy, and infusions are adjusted individually.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Will my dog be taken outside?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"1059\">Dogs are taken outside for walks several times a day. If your dog has limited mobility, it will of course be assisted or carried. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How is care for cats organized?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1274\">Litter trays are provided in the cat kennels and are cleaned regularly. Cats are housed separately from dogs to minimize stress. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What will my pet be fed?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1318\" data-end=\"1624\">Feeding is tailored individually. We provide dry food, wet food, and special diets. If your pet requires a specific medical diet, we kindly ask you to bring it with you. If your pet is unable to eat independently, it will be gently assisted by trained staff.   <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;May I bring my own blankets or items?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1993\">A small item with a familiar scent, such as a blanket, a T-shirt, or a cuddly toy, is possible and can help your pet feel secure.<br data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"1817\">For hygiene reasons, however, we cannot accept baskets or cushions. Please only bring items whose possible loss would not be a problem for you. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Are visits possible during the stay?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2770\" data-end=\"3054\">Visits are generally not recommended, as they mean additional stress for many animals. In exceptional cases (e.g., life-threatening illnesses), we will actively discuss a visit recommendation with you. Unfortunately, unannounced visits are not possible for organizational reasons.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Why does my pet have a bandage on its leg when I pick it up?&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3317\" data-end=\"3500\">For infusions or intravenous medication, an indwelling venous catheter is placed. After removal, a pressure bandage is applied, which can be removed at home after 15\u201320 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><b>How to find us<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Vet Zentrum K\u00f6ln<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>Scheidtweilerstra\u00dfe 19, 50933 Cologne<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcde <b>Phone during consultation hours: <a href=\"tel:0221545764\">0221 \u2013 545764<\/a><\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>\ud83d\udce7 <a href=\"mailto:info@vetzentrum-koeln.de\">info@vetzentrum-koeln.de<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_goo_maps location=&#8221;Vet Zentrum K\u00f6ln&#8221; zoom=&#8221;15&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;2109,2110,2111,2112,2113,2115,2003,2124,2122&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636449736258{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #b5b5b5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;white&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do you have questions about our services?<br \/>\nSend us an <a href=\"mailto:info@vetzentrum-koeln.de\">email<\/a> or give us a call<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"tel:0221545764\">0221 &#8211; 545764<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1636450784221{margin-top: -100px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.93) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;] Inpatient treatment If your pet needs inpatient care after<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2128","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
