Meet Larson! 🐍 He was at the clinic today for a microchip. Yes, even snakes get microchips! 🐍❤️ #PetCare #Microchip #Snakes #crahc

During Willie’s visit to the clinic, he needed some subQ fluid, and was a prime example of a fear-free procedure. He didn’t even notice the needle, as he chowed down on some wet food, and required zero restraint! 🐱

As a Fear-Free clinic, we do some things a little differently. This patient used to be quite nervous of nail trims, but will now allow all nails to be done in one sitting! 🐶
This was achieved through positive reinforcement, with food, and through building a relationship of trust. Sometimes this takes several appointments to reach this point, but we find it easier on the pet and the client than having to result to sedation. With time and patience, pets can learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable! 🐕

Vaccinations don’t have to be a traumatic event. As a fear-free clinic, we employ many different methods to create a more positive experience for our patients, including doing some examinations and vaccinations outside. 🌲
Due to previous negative experience, Zumma used to panic and scream whenever she would get vaccinations or blood-draws. Now, with the use of food distraction and desensitization, she is able to handle vaccinations and blood-draws without any fuss! 🐶

Nova is learning a chin rest during puppy class. Chin rests are used by dogs as clear position to indicate they are ready to cooperate in their care. Nova will learn, with time, that when she rests her chin, she says yes to Martine to proceed with her care, like a vaccine, a physical exam, treatment in her ears, etc...😊🐾🐕
Nova pratique à poser son menton sur la paume de la main durant son de maternelle de chiots. Nova apprendra, avec le temps, comment dire à Martine, simplement en posant son menton, qu'elle accepte de procéder aux soins vétérinaires ou de toilettage, comme les vaccins, la taille de griffes, les soins des oreilles, etc... 🐾🐾🐕💥
