Introducing Happy Yappy Practice Visits!
We want to start our relationship with your pet as positive and rewarding from the beginning! That is why we decided to start offering Happy Yappy Practice Visits. We invite you to bring your dog in to practice walking into our office, getting on the scale, and standing on the exam table. Our staff will spend a few minutes getting to know you and your dog and then walk them around our clinic and most importantly, give them lots and lots of treats! This will help your dog to associate the vet’s office with something positive and hopefully reduce their (and your) anxiety and stress the next time you bring them in. Beginning Saturday October 12th, our office will be open one Saturday a month for you to bring your dog in for a positive experience at the vet.

Take the PET out of petrified. We want to start our relationship with your pet as a positive and rewarding from the beginning. That is why our hospital and staff have started to adopt the techniques for fear free veterinary visits.
Thinking about the reducing the stress of a veterinary visit begins at home. Do you or your pet get anxious around strangers? How are they in the car? Do they get car sick? Do they have favorite treats or toys that they get for rewards for good behavior at home? Do they tend to bite or nip when scared? Is your pet experiencing pain? Does your pet experience difficulty walking on smooth surfaces? There are many options for assisting your pet's well being and comfort levels in the hospital - follow the links below for more information. |
