Tumblr users and veterinarian vet-and-wild shared what they say is the best restraint tool to use for animals. They learned in vet med to use a towel, and it works every time, for any animal.
Although many of us may not find ourselves in a situation to have to restrain a fox or injured wildlife, they say this works great for our pets too. Cats in particular. Have you ever tried to put a cat in a carrier before going to the vet? I have, and I wish I knew about this.
The burrito method. is the way to go.
