This Vet Vaccinates Dogs Without Them Noticing Thanks to an Adorable Method of Distraction
Even a routine trip to the vet can turn into a full-blown drama for a puppy, especially when a shot is involved. Most dogs do not exactly line up for vaccinations with wagging tails and perfect manners.
André Santos, a veterinarian in Portugal, has found a surprisingly adorable way to make the process feel less scary. Using treats, games, and a little movement, he keeps his patients focused on everything except the needle.
That playful approach has made his clinic stand out, and the dancing does not hurt either.
The atmosphere in this vet office makes vaccination the highlight of the pet’s day.
This is the same kind of clinic humor as Carroll County’s vet spot-on signs that keep everyone cracking up.
Whenever we perform a procedure, we should give a positive treat.
His approach might seem a little unusual, but Santos's patients certainly appreciate it.
Santos's approach not only takes the stress out of one "frightening" trip to the vet, but it also makes all the subsequent visits something the pets will look forward to. And that's what matters most.
Now the only real challenge is getting the dogs to leave.
After that, see how a vet cuddled a petrified puppy after surgery to calm her down.
