The Connection Between Healthier Pets and Less Stress
Fear, anxiety, and stress are obstacles to quality, life-long veterinary care for pets. As a pet parent, you might be stressed out yourself, because your pet isn’t getting the care they need to live their best life. Reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats means they can receive essential treatment from their vet, which can help to improve their health and even extend their lifespan. In short, the less stress your pet experiences at the vet, the more care they can receive to stay healthy.
Signs of Fear, Anxiety, and Stress in Dogs and Cats
Dogs and cats show fear, anxiety, and stress in different ways. At Lane Veterinary, we look out for these signs so we can address them promptly and create tailored, stress-free experiences for all our patients.
Offering Behavioral Services to Alleviate Pet Stress
Many pets, due to fearfulness, anxiety, stress, and other factors, may engage in unruly or even destructive behaviors that can harm their relationship with their human family members. Dr. Baker is partnering with Insight Animal Behavior Services, PC to help you address your pet’s behavioral issues, improve their quality of life, and strengthen their bond with your family.
About Insight Animal Behavior Services
Insight has helped to improve and strengthen relationships between pets and their humans since 2009. Its team is comprised of boarded veterinary behavior specialists who do behavior consults for pets and their families. These specialists have undergone many additional years of schooling in veterinary behavior, and Dr. Baker will work alongside them to come up with a treatment plan that is best suited to your pet’s needs, and your family’s needs.
How Calm Care Makes Us a Better Practice
A Calm Care approach is about much more than reducing fearfulness in pets, though that is our primary goal. It also makes Lane Veterinary a better animal hospital for everyone.
It Makes Pet Parents Happy
Calm Care helps pet parents achieve small victories with their dogs and cats, whether that's being able to trim your pet’s nails without breaking a sweat or having your previously “untouchable” pet be successfully handled and provided treatment. It also makes vet visits more enjoyable for you, because seeing your pet happy and relaxed is always something to look forward to!
It Strengthens the Bonds of Our Team
Calm Care also helps to grow and nurture mutual respect among our team members, providing a more collaborative and friendly environment where everyone’s perspectives and ideas carry weight. By implementing A Calm Care approach every day, we can boost our team’s morale, because it reminds us why we chose the veterinary profession in the first place. It allows us to provide the most compassionate, comprehensive, and personalized treatment to our patients.
And our clients can see the difference!
