The first visit to the veterinarian's office should be a positive experience!
There are patients who love to come to the vet! The proof provides the following film from our practice
...this applies of course above all to animal species, which can be positively adjusted to an event such as a visit to the vet. And there are of course especially the dogs in the first place, limited this is also possible for cats.
Less receptive to positive conditioning in this area are pet animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, mice or reptiles and birds. For these species, it is important to keep stress as low as possible by placing them in suitable, darkened and insulated, but well-ventilated transport boxes. It is usually advisable to place a cloth over the transport box.
We will make every effort to keep waiting times and examinations as short as possible and to treat patients gently. We will therefore first talk to you about your patient before we take him or her out of the transport box.
Since our parking spaces are directly in front of the practice and are not exposed to the sun, you can also leave your animals in the car first and check in at the practice reception at your leisure.
Especially for dogs it is recommended to visit the veterinary practice first, just to 'get a feel' for it. But feel free to make an appointment for this first contact as well, so that we can be sure to have enough time for you. During this first visit we want to ask as little as possible from the 'newcomer'.
It should be a thoroughly positive experience, it is exciting and exciting to sniff everything and maybe you will find a 'Gutzli' somewhere? Or maybe you can even take a toy home with you?
Walking over the scales' can be part of it. Come and weigh your dog in the practice from time to time, this is also possible without an appointment at any time during opening hours. However, please do not let the dog run free in the practice without being asked to do so, because you do not know who will come in the door next. In addition, sick animals also come to the veterinary practice with sometimes contagious diseases, so it is important to avoid unnecessary contact with other animals in the veterinary practice.
Cats should also not be allowed to roam freely in the practice under any circumstances. Please note that cats, if they feel threatened, can react very quickly and violently. Therefore, only bring cats into the practice in suitable cat boxes, never carry cats around freely. We always take cats out of the transport crate in the treatment room first. For stressed cats, it is recommended to put a cloth over the transport box. Cats can also be brought in for an initial health and familiarization check. Many cats acclimate well to regular vet visits, but not all. There are cats for whom, similar to pets, the rule is: as little and as briefly as possible.
Please bring your documents such as vaccination records, health certificates, pedigrees, purchase contracts or similar with you, this will help to answer any questions and to plan necessary preventive measures such as vaccinations, deworming.
