How to Take the Stress Out of Veterinary Visits
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Countless cats and nearly 80% of dogs are fearful and anxious when they go to the vet - so much so that some owners think twice before bringing their pets in for regular visits. If your pet is one of the many who dread the veterinarian, take these steps now to help fear melt away.
Veterinary visits come with unfamiliar sights, sounds and smells, other animals and strangers around every corner, making many pets stressed out and anxious.
For cats, take time getting them used to the cat carrier, and all pets should spend time taking occasional car rides to neutral or fun places - like a family member’s house or local park.
Gradually acclimate your pet to the vet’s office by dropping by for a short visit to say hello; this is important for cats too, especially kittens
It's also important that your pet gets used to handling, including having their paws, nails and ears touched.
Choose a fear-free certified practice with species-specific exam rooms, which conducts exams where your pet prefers, such as on your lap, on the floor or in a carrier, if possible.

I’m one that has to take Xanax before we go to the vet. My dogs are fine. I freak out!
Great tips! I have a puppy and I'm going to start today!
Question for Dr Becker and team:
Can you recommend a way to finding a veterinarian who is truly holistic and aligned with your teachings? Anything within a two hour or so range would be fine - we live near the western borders of Ma & Ct - about 20 mi southeast of Albany NY. Also our daughter in Buffalo wants help too.
Our ‘holistic’ vet still insists on full vaccinations and our daughters vet lectures about salmonella when she tells them they feed a raw diet so she just tells them she uses wellness brand to avoid that. (even tho we feed them the pastured rabbits & lamb & egggs we raise on our property. ) 🙃🤯
You are a hero to me Dr Becker and I recommend your work to many. I believe you are a wayshower out of these dark ages of misleading pet info - nutrition & disease prevention especially.
Also - are there any vets in the northeast who offer vascectomys and tubals instead of neuter/spay. We r in between dogs now but when we adopt one in the next yr of two. Thank you for any help you can offer. 💚
My dog had to get a tumor aspirated. She's so nervous going to the vet now that she just pees on the floor ☹
Can you please tell me anything about fly biting syndrome
