4 Reasons that Make Your Pet Fear Going to a Blackburn Vet and How to Overcome it

4 Reasons that Make Your Pet Fear
Going to a Blackburn Vet and How to
Overcome it
Shaking continuously, shying away under furniture or crouching
down in fear are the most common tell-tale signs of fright in pets.
But there are also other signs that indicate anxiety in pets such as a
downward glance, excessive barking, obsessive panting and licking.
A variety of things can trigger these signs such as strangers, loud
objects like a hairdryer or vacuum cleaner, car rides, thunderstorms,
fireworks and even a visit to a Blackburn vet.

So, let’s break down the reasons that make most pets cringe even at
the mere mention of the
vet:
Strangers
A vet clinic is usually filled with strangers and other pets that
might not be looking or behaving their best. This also creates a
wide variety of different scents that can trigger anxiety
in your pet.
Examination
Pets are lifted, prodded and touched all over their body during
medical observations. This unexpected and intrusive feeling can be
very off-putting for most pets, which make them dislike going to
the vet clinic even further.
Travelling
The collection of scents and loud sounds of heavy urban traffic,
smothering pollutants, flashing lights and the motion of a moving
car can cause many pets to feel significant discomfort and distress.
First experience
The first time one takes their puppy to the vet, they are given a
variety of vaccines, restrained against their wishes, given yucky
pills and liquids, and blood is withdrawn with syringes for further
testing. This is a lot for any pet to take in and they often associate
the same discomfort they faced the first time with every vet visit
even if it is for a simple check-up.
