If you have a cat that gets nervous at the veterinarian’s office, you are not alone. With some small changes, a trip to the veterinarian does not have to be so overwhelming.

Pattern Games give your dog a clear set of rules to follow, creating predictability in different situations. The 1-2-3 Pattern Game can help move your dog past triggers, into the car, onto the scale, through doorways, and more.

Teaching your cat to enter their carrier on their own is the first step in making veterinary visits less stressful.

Walking your dog away from their triggers is not giving up or avoiding the problem; it is advocating for your dog and maintaining the human-animal bond and trust.
