There are three key areas that you can focus on to help make taking your dog to a Veterinarian as positive an experience as possible for all involved. Following the simple and easy guidelines above can make a big difference to not only your dog but to everyone else who might be at the Veterinary Clinic.
Aim for INTENTIONAL conditioning, focusing on the following four areas:
► The Veterinary Clinic itself, the building, the parking lot, the smells. Call your vet and arrange for a visit in off-peak hours so you can create a positive experience for your pet.
► Wearing a muzzle. If your pet is in a lot of pain, he might not want anyone near him. A muzzle will allow your pet to be treated and keep everyone safe.
► Being held. Many animals do not like being restrained. Hold your pet, give him a cookie and let him go. Start gradually and work up to other people holding your pet.
► Condition your pet to a carrier, cage or crate. Set up a positive experience! Build comfort and confidence and avoid any anxiety your dog or cat may have for being in a confined space or crate. Crate Games is going to help you condition your dog to a crate for comfort and confidence.

Planning for the Best Possible Experience for All
If you know you will be visiting the vet, prepare beforehand. Set out your treats, lead, carrier. Have a plan for what your visit looks like when you arrive at the vet. Plan for the best experience possible.
If your pet is reactive, it’s important to set him up for the best experience along with everyone who will be in contact with your pet. Everyone wants the best for your animals. Let your vet know ahead of time that your pet is reactive. Tell your vet how you will be arriving and what you are going to do to get to the examination room. Your vet might even have a reactive pet protocol.
Taking Action for Comfort Not Chaos
► Have your focus on your pet when you enter the clinic (put your phone away).
► Use appropriate equipment (a short leash rather than a retractable leash).
► Don’t allow your pet to rush up to other people or animals.
► Be considerate and kind to avoid chaos for everyone.
Next time you are at your Vet Clinic, let them know how much you appreciate all they do!

I need to work on that! My young dog was born during lockdown so I had to trust the people at the vet to do the right thing for him as we were not allowed in! Now that things seems to get back to “normal” I want to make sure that visit ti the vet is like going to a cookies / toys store :)

New vet this go, lost ours, he was great. I have not been inside with puppy yet due to Covid will meet this month. Here’s a good line from the vet, I’ve never been bitten by a dog that bites since everyone says their dog doesn’t bite.

I literally just posted a cry for help with this earlier in the month in the h360 fb group lol 😅 I got a lot of great advice from those wonderful people! We’ve got some happy vet visits planned soon. Can’t believe I never considered making vet visits better. Maybe cause we aren’t there very often. But I think this will be beneficial in more then one way!

Wished I’d seen this yesterday! We got a new dog two weeks ago that acted really sweet with us. But when I took him today he was scared and almost bit the vet when he was looking at his teeth. I had to reschedule the visit with a different one and was told to sedate him first. I think it could’ve gone better if I’d have taken your advice. For the next visit I’ll use your tips as well as keeping him in the car until the vet is ready.

A client of mine has a nervous and reactive dog-we conditioned him to enjoy the crate/carrier being covered at home/in the car etc. We cover the carrier right from the house and for the entire car ride, and give him a good chew. Walking in is no longer an issue because the stimulus is decreased. He smells around, but luckily the visual for him doesn't trigger any reactivity. Not all dogs are the same though of course and possibly also triggered by sound and smell, the visual in this case was the most arousing. Love the protocol, and all the tips, this was also a successful technique I have used several times I thought I'd throw in there 🥰

biggest problem are ultrasounds can’t give any treat before or after the procedure and it’s super uncomfortable for the dog

Frequent vet visits for my 12 yo Addison's girl. Thanks to Crate Games, she loves her pet carrier so that's how we go in and out and she feels safe from other patients in the waiting room. 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
