Normanhurst Vet Practice Mobile Dog Vet: Expert care at your doorstep
Normanhurst Vets understand that some of our best mates can experience anything from hesitation to panic during a trip to and while at the vet. Even though they may never have had a bad experience before, dogs are incredibly intuitive and can sense when something is off.
We, as owners, may unknowingly display nervous body language, causing our mate to become aware of this and become stressed. It’s no secret that dogs pick up on our emotions, which can further exacerbate their anxiety during a vet visit.
Dogs are incredibly sensitive to their environment, and it’s no wonder. Compared to us, they have almost 20 times the number of nasal receptors, and their hearing is up to four times more sensitive! It’s no wonder that a vet surgery, full of unfamiliar sounds and smells can trigger stress and fear, making it challenging for these guys.
This sensory overload can be even more intimidating to puppies, who may also experience motion sickness in the car ride to the vet, leading to an unpleasant car ride for all involved! Not to mention reducing the chance of exposure to any illness from older dogs.
Your dog’s welfare, in your dog’s home
With our mobile dog vet service, these problems can be avoided, and pets can receive their check-up or routine care in their own stress-free, home environment.
With our mobile dog vet service, your dog will receive top-quality care in the comfort of their own home, without the need for travel or exposure to unfamiliar surroundings. Not only does this reduce anxiety levels, but it also helps owners feel more in control and at ease knowing that their pet is being taken care of in a safe and familiar environment.
As odd as it may sound, some dogs actually find car rides stressful and disorienting, and it can be challenging and distracting for owners to calm or console them. Puppies, in particular, may also experience motion sickness, which can be uncomfortable for all parties involved, and at such a young age, we want to make a visit by the vet as positive as possible. And yes, there will be cuddles and treats to help build confidence and a positive experience.
One dog we know had a tough start to life, so car journeys were terrifying for her. Because of this, her owner opted for a mobile dog vet instead of the stress of taking her into the surgery for her routine care. Now this lovely dog can receive the care she needs, without putting her into a heightened state of distress due to transportation and a strange environment.
