We study fear-free techniques and use them every day! This helps in keeping your pets happy and healthy! Below are some of the fear-free techniques we use and recommend.
Make sure the pet carrier is covered and on a flat surface.
Pet owner will make practice runs to the veterinary hospital for just rewards. This will desensitize the pet to the location if that triggers stress.
If necessary and after recommended by our staff, pet sedation protocols can be started before the pet owner leaves home.
We are very well trained on reading pets’ body language, proper restraint, individualized restraint based on patients’ responses and so on.
We are educated on the proper way to approach a fearful animal.
We offer a calm, quiet environment with reduced lighting.
We use pheramone diffusers throughout our clinic.
We reduce the amount of times we have to move your animal. Our clinic is set up efficiently to alleviate as much stress as possible.
Going to the vet can be tough or both a pet and their owner. Our goal is to make it as stress-free as possible. If you have any questions about our services or the way we work, don’t hesitate to give us a call!
