If your dog or cat experiences fear, anxiety, or stress during veterinary visits, your veterinarian may recommend a Pre-Visit Pharmaceutical (PVP). These medications are used alongside training, behavioral, or environmental modifications to help make veterinary visits less stressful and more successful.

- Reduce Stress & Anxiety: Helps your pet feel more comfortable during handling, exams, or procedures.
- Build Positive Associations: Encourages a lifelong positive relationship with veterinary care.
- Ensure Thorough Care: Eases stress, allowing your pet to receive necessary medical attention.

It's important to help your pet associate vet visits with positive experiences. Training your pet to remain calm during check-ups and handling procedures like nail trims or ear exams will reduce stress during visits. Socialization at the vet’s office can make routine appointments and emergencies much less intimidating. Establishing a calm and pleasant relationship with the vet early on sets the foundation for a stress-free life.

Parasite prevention should be a monthly routine. Fleas, ticks, and internal parasites can quickly become an issue if preventatives are neglected. Regular use of preventatives reduces the risk of dangerous diseases and can save you money in the long run. Keep your pet protected from preventable parasites by staying on schedule with treatment.

All dogs require daily physical and mental stimulation. Regular exercise prevents boredom and curbs behavioral problems. Whether it's a long walk, a game of fetch, or interactive play with toys, ensure your dog gets plenty of activity every day.

It's tempting to share snacks with your dog, but excessive treats can lead to obesity and other health issues. Vets recommend that treats make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily caloric intake. A balanced diet is essential for maintaining optimal health. Save the extra snacks for training sessions and focus on providing your dog with a healthy, nutrient-rich diet.
