So, how can you help your dog have fear-free veterinary visits? Here are some effective tips that will certainly help make this easier on your dog and on you too!
1. Reward your dog’s good behavior
Want fear-free veterinary visits? First, Don’t feed your dog for two to three hours before bringing him to the vet. I don’t say, you should bring him hungry but keep his meals light enough to maintain his appetite before the vet visit. Second, make sure you bring plenty of treats to reward his good behavior from the waiting room to the exam table. Dogs are more likely to be tempted by treats, especially if they are still hungry. Besides, treats are a smart way to calm your dog during vet visits, provide positive reinforcement, and encourage good behavior.
