Let's talk about muzzles!
This handsome hunk, Cane, recently came to our clinic for his annual wellness exam, a nail trim, some vaccine boosters, and a microchip. As is true of many pitties, Cane was also struggling with some seasonal allergies. He's a sweet guy, but can be a bit nervous with strangers and overwhelming settings, understandably so when we're poking him with needles! We were so appreciative to see his owners had put in the work to muzzle train, and Cane arrived wearing his basket muzzle and was vert comfortable with it on.
Muzzle training your dog can be so incredibly helpful! It doesn't mean they're a bad dog, or you're a bad owner. Quite the opposite! We could tell Cane's owner was very responsible and realistic with Cane's triggers. Because of this, everyone was safe and we could administer the necessary treatments with little restraint so stress was minimized. Through the muzzle Cane enjoyed many snacks from our staff, got a few b***y scratches, and overall had a very positive experience! A big THANK YOU to his owners for being so wonderful and taking precautions!
