Help your dog with low stress vets visits and grooming!

It’s such a common sight. Go into any vets waiting room and if you look closely enough you’re bound to see a dog who’s looking stressed. Not many dogs love their vets visits! Dogs might try to avoid going into the groomers or being put on the table or in the bath.

Does your dog dread vet or groomer visits?

  • Do thgey cower or try to hide?
  • Do they lash out?
  • Maybe they get over-excited?
  • Perhaps they bark and you can’t hear a word the other person says!
  • Or they won’t stay on the table.

Does your dog struggle with care procedures at home?

  • Your dog might hate having their harness put on.
  • Run away when the flea treatment comes out.
  • Maybe you dread their next ear infection treatment.
  • Do they not stay still long enough for you to groom them properly?

Just because it’s common, doesn’t mean it can’t get better

We owe it to our pets to help them cope better with their stress. Let’s face it, if we could feel less anxious going to the doctor or dentist we’d want it for ourselves! Anxiousness is a horrible feeling, and if nothing is done about it, it can get worse and worse over time.

This means that they can end up missing out on the best level of care you’d want for them.
