Veterinary teams choose the AutoCAT+ because it simplifies blood pressure monitoring while offering additional vital sign data in one compact unit. By combining automatic BP measurement with multi-parameter monitoring, the AutoCAT+ supports more informed clinical decision-making without increasing equipment complexity.
Its intuitive interface allows blood pressure checks to be integrated smoothly into consultations, ward monitoring and anaesthetic protocols, helping practices deliver consistent care across multiple users and shifts.
The system measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure digitally, removing the need for audible pulse detection and reducing operator variability. This makes the AutoCAT+ particularly well suited to busy clinical environments where efficiency, repeatability and ease of use are essential.
Blood pressure measurement on the AutoCAT+ is started manually at the unit, ensuring full user control over when readings are taken. Once initiated at the touch of a button, the device automatically inflates the cuff and performs the measurement without further input.
For practices that require repeated or unattended measurements, automatic cycling can be enabled via the Bluetooth companion app, allowing the unit to take blood pressure readings at set intervals.
The AutoCAT+ features a clear, easy-to-read digital display showing blood pressure and additional vital signs in real time. This allows clinicians to quickly assess patient status, record results accurately, and monitor trends during procedures or hospitalisation.
The straightforward presentation of data helps ensure readings are captured consistently across the clinical team, supporting reliable patient records and follow-up care.
The AutoCAT+ is well suited to nurse-led blood pressure clinics and routine health screening, where consistency and ease of use are key. Automatic measurement reduces technique-related variability, while the clear digital display makes results easy to record and interpret.
This supports proactive monitoring of patients at risk of hypertension, particularly senior cats and dogs, and allows practices to build structured monitoring protocols without relying on advanced Doppler skills.
The AutoCAT+ is supplied ready to use out of the box, with all necessary cuffs, leads and probes included. This ensures compatibility between components and allows practices to begin monitoring immediately without sourcing additional accessories.
The inclusion of blood pressure cuffs, ECG leads, SpO₂ sensor and temperature probe ensures the system can be used across a range of patients and clinical scenarios from day one.
In addition to automatic systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement, the AutoCAT+ functions as a compact multi-parameter monitor, displaying several key vital signs simultaneously. These include:
All relevant leads and probes are supplied with the system, allowing practices to monitor multiple physiological parameters from a single device. This makes the AutoCAT+ particularly valuable in hospital, theatre and recovery settings where continuous oversight of vital signs is required.

Blood pressure measurement is initiated manually at the touch of a button on the unit. Optional automatic cycling can be enabled via the Bluetooth companion app when repeated or unattended measurements are required.
The AutoCAT+ is an automatic, oscillometric blood pressure monitor used to measure blood pressure in small animal patients. It is commonly used for routine screenings, nurse-led clinics, and ongoing monitoring of patients at risk of hypertension.
The AutoCAT+ is designed primarily for cats and dogs, particularly calm and cooperative patients. It performs best in routine clinical settings where consistent, repeatable readings are required.
Oscillometric monitors and Doppler systems each have a place in veterinary practice. The AutoCAT+ excels in routine monitoring and multi-parameter assessment, offering automatic BP readings alongside ECG, SpO₂, temperature and respiration rate.
Many practices choose to use the AutoCAT+ alongside a Doppler system, relying on oscillometric measurement for efficiency and broader monitoring, while keeping Doppler available for confirmation readings or specific challenging cases.
Yes. The automatic measurement process and clear digital display make the AutoCAT+ well suited to nurse-led clinics and multi-user environments. Minimal training is required, allowing blood pressure checks to be incorporated easily into routine appointments.
The AutoCAT+ is ideal for practices that want:
– Automatic systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement
– Additional vital sign monitoring in a single compact unit
– A system suitable for routine, ward and anaesthetic monitoring
– Consistent results across multiple users
– Efficient nurse-led and preventative care clinics
It performs best in calm or appropriately restrained patients and is particularly effective where repeatable, trend-based monitoring is required.
In addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the AutoCAT+ monitors pulse oximetry (SpO₂), 3-lead ECG waveform, temperature via probe, and respiration rate. These parameters are displayed on the unit, allowing multiple vital signs to be monitored simultaneously.
The AutoCAT+ Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is designed to deliver consistent and repeatable readings in small animal practice, including but not limited to cats and dogs, when set up and used appropriately.
As with any automated blood pressure system, reliable results depend on good patient preparation, correct cuff selection, and minimising movement. When these fundamentals are in place, the AutoCAT+ allows a single clinician or nurse to obtain dependable readings quickly and confidently, making it well suited to routine consultations, nurse-led clinics, and busy clinical workflows.
To help teams get the best from the system, we provide clear setup guidance and practical resources focused on setting yourself up for success in real-world use.
Yes. The AutoCAT+ is suitable for use during anaesthesia and offers clear advantages in this setting. In addition to automatic systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement, it provides ECG waveform, pulse oximetry (SpO₂), temperature, and respiration rate, allowing multiple vital signs to be monitored throughout anaesthesia.
Yes. The AutoCAT+ is supplied as a complete veterinary blood pressure kit, including a range of cuffs suitable for small animal patients, allowing practices to begin monitoring immediately.
Thames Medical provides ongoing product support, guidance on best practice use, and access to replacement cuffs and accessories. Our team is available to help ensure you get the most from your AutoCAT+ system.
The standalone AutoCAT+ costs individually £699.99 and for the CAT+ Bundle, you can recieve both an AutoCAT+ and Cat Doppler for £1699.99.
Even experienced veterinary teams can fall into habits that compromise blood pressure reading accuracy. This guide identifies five common mistakes and provides practical solutions to help your practice obtain reliable, consistent measurements every time.
Despite the name, the CAT+ Doppler is a multi-species blood pressure monitor trusted by veterinary practices worldwide. Find out which animals you can use it with and why it performs so well beyond feline patients.
A new peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery has compared the AutoCAT+ oscillometric monitor with the CAT+ Doppler for systolic blood pressure measurement in cats. Across 131 paired readings, the two methods produced closely matched results, offering encouraging clinical evidence for practices considering automated blood pressure monitoring.
Obtaining reliable blood pressure readings in cats can be challenging, but success lies in the details. This guide covers essential cuff selection principles and patient preparation techniques to help your practice achieve consistent, accurate results every time.
With decades of experience supplying trusted veterinary equipment, Thames Medical is a reliable partner for blood pressure monitoring solutions. The AutoCAT+ is a popular choice for practices looking to improve efficiency, consistency and preventative care.
