DID YOU KNOW... In most situations, your pet is taken to the back for additional equipment, team members, and extra space needed to give your pet their treatment during your visits. The back room is also filled with more advanced medical equipment – like an x-ray and surgery suite, anesthesia machines, dental machine, and specialized tables and lights to help veterinarians get the best look at what’s going on with your pet.

Veterinary practices place a strong emphasis on minimizing stress in their patients. Having extra staff around to lend a hand allows treatment to be performed efficiently while your pet is offered treats, pets, and verbal comfort.

For more information check out this informative blog article from one of our partners Zoetis! https://www.zoetispetcare.com/blog/article/what-happens-back-room-vet

Chances are your pet has been taken to the “back room” at the vet for one reason or another. The back room might be mysterious, but it’s not scary!
