You're likely to have cowering canines and frantic felines if you mention the "V" word. But going to the vet shouldn't be traumatic. In order for everyone to have a pleasant experience, here are some tips you can follow:
Try to upbeat and calm. Animals pick up on our thoughts. Don't be anxious or stressed because your animals will be too.
Try to relax your pet. Calming products, like Pluto Pet's Pet Calming Spray, may help relieve your animal's fear, nervousness and aggression. It meets all Food and Drug Administration guidelines for good manufacturing practices, made from all-natural ingredients, and it acts quickly and causes no side effects.
Your cat's carrier should be left out all the time. A towel should be placed inside and sprinkle it with catnip. The cat will then associate it with a private and pleasant place instead of a ride in the car. He won't have the opportunity to wedge himself under a bed if he doesn't hear you getting the carrier out of a closet.
Try getting your animals used to riding in the car. Your dog or cat can associate riding in the car with a pleasant experience even with just a quick spin around the block. Open the windows a bit and tune the radio to a classical music station. To animals, classical music is soothing. When you get home, reward your "traveler" with some treats. Even if it's only for a few minutes, you shouldn't leave them alone in a locked car.
Make sure your animal can tolerate being handled. Open his mouth, touch his feet and toes, look in his ears to get him used to being touched.
Try socializing your pets. Your pet should be accustomed to seeing, hearing, and being touched by different people. For indoor cats, leave a television or radio on to get them used to hearing the sounds of different human voices.
Lavish your pet with praise. During the vet visit and afterwards, reward your animal with praise for being calm and cooperative. He can also think the whole experience was worthwhile if you give him treats on the ride home.
