A little practice goes a long way toward a more “pawsitive” experience! These brief hospital visits, led by our veterinary technicians, are designed to help your pet build confidence in the veterinary setting, develop positive associations with hospital visits, and provide you with practical, hands-on support using behavior strategies along the way. Our goal is to help veterinary visits feel less stressful and more comfortable for both you and your pet.
Whether you have an adult dog who could benefit from feeling more at ease and less worried at the vet, or a happy-go-lucky new puppy you’d like to proactively set up for a lifetime of confident, fear-free visits, we’re here to help. Happy Visits can be tailored to your pet’s individual needs and may include gentle introductions to the hospital environment, positive handling, scale desensitization, treats and enrichment, or other confidence-building exercises designed to create successful veterinary experiences.

These visits are ideal for dogs who may be nervous, fearful, or simply benefit from extra support, as well as puppies learning that the veterinary hospital can be a safe and rewarding place.
