Anyone who’s had a dog for a while knows how fearful and antsy they can get when it’s time to go to the vet. It can be a grueling experience for both you and your canine pal. The good news is there are things you can do to help quell your dog’s anxiety when it’s time to go to the doctor.
Here are a few things you can try:
- Take Fido to the vet for friendly visits that don’t involve poking, prodding, and needles. Let her visit with the clinic staff and make sure you have some tasty treats on hand.
- Have a run in the park with your pup before a vet visit. This can help reduce some of the anxious energy your dog is feeling.
- Train your dog to be calm on command in regular situations. That way, when you say “calm” before a vet visit, it can help her settle down.
And if you have more questions or wish to schedule Fido for a checkup, feel free to call us, your local animal hospital Columbia, TN, anytime!
