🐾 Making Vet Visits Less Scary – Thanks to Emily! 🐾
Did you know our amazing RVN Emily runs social visits for nervous pets? These gentle sessions include cuddles, fuss, and getting used to the examinations, sights, sounds, and smells of the practice — all to help build confidence and trust before any treatment is needed. 💕
Just ask Dolly, a 1-year-old Australian Labradoodle, who used to be terrified of the vets. Since February, she's been coming in for regular visits with Emily — meeting the team, exploring the practice, and even practising with the stethoscope.
When it was time for her spay, Dolly walked in so much more relaxed, had a smooth recovery (complete with cuddles from our lovely Abbe 💖), and even came back happy for her post-op checks!
Her mum said the social visits made all the difference. 🐶✨
