Sometimes Minnie gets nervous about going new places or places she hasn’t been in a while. Like the vet.
So when we know she has an appointment, we reduce her breakfast in the morning so we can give her LOTS of treats when she’s scared.
Today, I broke each piece of chicken jerky into a 6-7 tiny pieces and gave her one every time she relaxed in the vet’s office.
By the end of the visit, she was calm and GET THIS: she WILLINGLY walked with vet tech Dawn to have her blood drawn. OMG Y’ALL!!!! 😱That’s progress!!! But also, Dawn is a fear-free champion.
The point is, your dog may be cool all the time. Or they may be a total sh*tshow. Either way, some extra treats and patience are always helpful.
Thanks Dr. Sosa and Dawn at for giving Minnie the best visit possible.
Minnie thought it would’ve been better if I’d given her more treats, but she’s a snob about our treats. 🤷🏾♀️
