Fear Free is a movement in veterinary medicine that evaluates and promotes the best ways to keep our pets relaxed and happy before, during, and after veterinary visits. Our pets (and their parents) no longer have to dread going to the vet!!!
Dr. West recently became certified in Fear Free practice, and wants to share some tips to help our pets become fear free at home and at the clinic! Happy visits Rule! We find that once our pets realize that the vet office means needle pokes, nail clipping, and the dreaded rectal thermometer, that they are not always excited to visit us. What if the vet office could also mean just treats, pets, and love? If you're out and about with your pet, consider stopping by the clinic for a happy visit. You can bring a favorite treat or toy, and allow our staff to offer it with some hugs and kisses. Then the pets get to leave! No needles, weigh ins, nail trims, or thermometers! Doing this on occasion will make the visits to the vet potentially exciting and relaxing, versus progressively scary. We LOVE happy pets and pet parents
