Our doctor has experience working with aggressive animals and is Fear Free (Level 3) certified; many pets show aggression as a reaction to fear, anxiety, or stress. If your pet cannot be safely handled, you may want to contact your regular veterinarian to ask for oral medications to give before the appointment, like trazodone or gabapentin. Our doctor also carries oral sedative medication and muzzles. Please note that we firmly believe that pets should not die with a muzzle on; only in extenuating circumstances will we keep a muzzle in place for the entirety of the procedure.
If you feel that your pet cannot be safely handled, please alert your doctor prior to the appointment so that they may plan accordingly.
