Sometimes, people don't want to go in for vet visits for one very simple reason: it's difficult to get their pet to cooperate. Robinwood Kennel in Highland Heights, KY, is a pet boarding, pet daycare, and dog and cat grooming facility that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of your animal. They know what pet visits can do to the emotional health of both pets and owners, and they would like to offer a few tips that may help you prepare for the next vet visit.

They invite you to consider the following:

• Walk Your Dog Before Leaving: Going to the vet is stressful for your dog. Walks can help them burn off some of that nervous energy.
• Buy a Carrier: For small dogs, this helps you manage them better each and every time.
• Exercise Vet Clinic Etiquette: Keep your dog calm and quiet so that he or she doesn't create a more anxious environment. Speak softly and calmly, and try to keep them relatively still. When in the exam room, hold them for the vet, potentially even keeping them leashed. They will take comfort knowing mom or dad is nearby.
• Go When You Need to Go: The more you go to the vet, the more comfortable your dog will be with the process. This makes it better for everyone. You'll have the routine down, and your dog will be more accustomed to vet visits.

Going to the vet doesn't need to be an ordeal, and Robinwood Kennel wants to make each visit easier. By following these simple tips, you can keep your dog healthier, happier, and more relaxed...and do the same for yourself. When you're ready to bring your healthy pet in for boarding, grooming, or daycare, be sure to call (859) 781-2352 to reserve a spot!
