๐พ Meet Snow! โ๏ธ๐ถ
This gorgeous 13-week-old Husky visited us for her puppy vaccinations and a nail trim โ and she absolutely stole our hearts (Look at Dr Vanessa, smoochy cuddles)๐
Vaccinations are one of the most important steps in giving puppies the best start in life. They help protect against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, allowing your puppy to safely explore the world as they grow.
But this visit was also a great reminder about something many pet owners donโt think about early enoughโฆ handling your puppyโs feet! ๐พ
Getting puppies used to having their paws touched from a young age can make a HUGE difference as they get older. Gentle handling at home helps make future nail trims:
โ Less stressful
โ Safer for your pet
โ Easier for owners and veterinary staff
โ A more paws-itive experience overall
Try spending a few minutes each day:
๐พ Touching and holding their paws
๐พ Gently pressing on their toes
๐พ Rewarding calm behaviour with treats and praise
Small positive experiences now can help prevent fear and anxiety around nail trims later in life.
Snow was such a brave girl, and we canโt wait to watch her grow! ๐
