Taking your dog to our veterinary clinic in North Bellmore doesn’t have to be a challenge!
For some owners, taking their dogs to the veterinarian can be nerve-wracking, to say the least. While some dogs are so care-free that they don’t mind going to the vet, others are a bit more difficult to deal with. The last thing that we want is for you to put off getting your dog the care that they need because they hate visiting the vet, and that’s why we’ve come up with these tips to make your dog’s vet visits successful:
#1. Make sure you pick the right veterinarian!
Not all veterinarians are made equal, and if your dog is already nervous or aggressive at the vet’s office, you need to make sure you’ve found the right vet. Before you take your dog in to see a new vet, give them a call and ask a few questions about how they deal with dogs like yours.
#2. Associate the vet with something fun!
After you visit the vet, do something with your dog that they will love, such as going on a hike or visiting the dog park! This way, when your dog goes to the vet, he or she will know that there is something good to come afterwards. This will help them to relax and sit through their visit more successfully.
There are many things you can do to make your dog’s vet visits more successful, and although we’ve given you a couple of great tips, we have several more for you! Please stay tuned for our next blog to learn more!
