In the meantime, I think we are all in need of a smile right now. Let's share photos of our pets and help each other smile. Daily Photo challenge!! We miss you and your pets so much and want to see your faces again! Please post your photo or short video for each day's prompt in the comment thread below it. Share a photo of you and your pets enjoying a favorite hobby today. Dr. Michelle loves playing board games, and sometimes Sebastian likes to play too!

Nice to see you, Finnick!

We love exams like this! Titus has been quite stressed at previous vet visits. Today, we used a combination of an oral sedative prior to his visit, a quiet upstairs exam room away from louder patients, and Feliway (a feline anti-anxiety pheromone) for his exam. His owner also brought a food-dispensing toy as Titus is quite food motivated. This is Titus after his vaccines and exam. What a difference some low-stress techniques can make!
